JOHNSON SEED COMPANY 



WORLD'S CHALLENGE ADAPTABLE HOVER AND 



BROODER HEATER 



Fire-proofed, Insurable, Self Regulating and Self -Ventilating 



The Adaptable Hover that we employ in 

 regulating the latest-pattern Standard Cyphers 

 Incubators, and the fresh air, which is drawn 

 automatically into the hover space for use of 

 the chicks, is WARMED before it reaches 

 them, and no draft from the source of heat can 

 possibly get under the hover. It should be 

 noted that the Cyphers Company's Adaptable 

 Hover is self-regulating and self-ventilating 

 as a separate device irrespective of the brooder 

 case or other enclosure in which it is used. It 

 is the temperature underneath the hover that 

 is regulated, and pure, warmed air is delivered 

 to this point from the fresh-air chamber, re- 

 gardless of other conditions. 



ADAPTABLE HOVER 



(Self-regulating and bears Insurance Label as 



separate device). 



Shows side view of combined Fire-proof 

 Heater and Standard Adaptable Hover, ready 

 for use. Device can be mounted; that is, joined 

 together, in less than thirty seconds' time. 

 When uncrated will be found to consist of five 

 pieces (not including regulator arm, regulator 

 disc and thermometer), as follows: Heater 

 compartment, hover, two sections of waste- 

 heat pipe and T-fume vent and windbreak. 



FOR TWENTY YEARS manufacturers of 

 incubators and brooders, not alone in the 

 United States, but also in leading European 

 countries, have been seeking to develop a prac- 

 tical type of self-regulating and self-venti- 

 lating brooders. Their wish has been to place 

 these devices on a par with the best incubators 

 in use. The Cyphers Company for years 

 worked faithfully at this problem, but did not 

 meet with real success until it invented the 

 Adaptable Hover. 



WE HAD LONG BELIEVED that brooders, 

 to b-e entirely practical, should be automatic in 

 regulation and self-ventilating, especially at 



night. As at present equipped with our Adap- 

 table Hover, every lamp-heated brooder manu- 

 factured and sold by us is both self -regulating 

 and self-ventilating. The same high-grade zinc 

 and steel thermostat is used on self-regulating 

 and self-ventilating. 



LAMP FLAME WILL NOT BLOW OUT AND 

 DOES NOT SUCK OUT 



REMARKABLE AS IT MAY SEEM, this 

 hover is so constructed that it could actually 

 be used out of doors without the protection of 

 a case or otlier enclosure and the lamp would 

 not blow out. This favorable condition arises 

 from the fact that there is no connection what- 

 ever in the form of an air passage between 

 the lamp chamber and the space underneath 

 the hover; therefore, fumes from the lamp 

 cannot possibly reach the space where the 

 chicks sleep, nor can the action of the air on 

 the interior of a brooder case, colony coop, 

 portable house or other enclosure affect the 

 flame of the lamp in the slightest degree. It 

 is on this account that the lamp chamber can 

 be opened at any time, in any location, for fill- 

 ing the bowl, trimming the wick or adjust- 

 ing the flame, and the blaze positively will hot 

 suck out, regardless of whether the doors, win- 

 dows or chick exit to the brooder case, roost- 

 ing, or poultry house are opened. 



PORTABLE HOVER 



Movable — can be changed to a new spot or 

 location at any time by simply picking it up.
