JOHNSON SEED COMPANY 



Holds 50 Eggs, 



The Cycle Hatcher 



Is Self-regulating. Requires no supplied Moisture. 

 Price, only 36.50 



The Cycle Hatcher is designed to take the 

 place of the hen and the large clumsy incu- 

 bators, and to carry out the development of the 

 embryo chick in the egg to a living, healthy 

 bird by a device approaching nearer to the 

 stage of perfection in construction, operation 

 and control of the moisture than anything on 

 the market to date. 



The supply of heat in the Cycle Hatcher 

 comes from the center and is radiated in all 

 directions like the rays of the sun, carrying 

 with it an abundant supply of fresh, heated air 

 that is required to travel only six inches to 

 reach every egg in the extreme portions of the 

 nest. The heat is governed by a double wafer 

 regulator that is placed so close to the eggs that 

 it is sensitive to the natural heat of the growing 

 embryo chick in the egg as well as the supplied 

 heat from the lamp. The Cycle Hatcher is too 

 simple in construction to require any long de- 

 scription of details, as the pictures of the 

 complete machine and the nest show practically 

 all there is to it. 



The nest, heater, lamp, thermometer and 

 the automatic appliance to release the surplus 

 heat, make a complete hatcher that can be operated by any child that can properly care for a lamp — the 

 essential part in the operation of a Cycle Hatcher. The operator is not obliged to lift a heavy tray of 

 eggs to air or to turn them ; by simply lifting the heater in the natural way, and by a simple rolling 

 motion of the hands, the eggs are turned in the manner a hen turns them. When the heater is removed 

 from the nest, it carries with it the metal wafer that regulates the supply of heat. The heater is cooled 

 at the same time the eggs are and when returned to the nest will warm eggs much quicker than it 

 would if not allowed to cool with the eggs. Twenty-one small 50-egg Cycle Hatchers will allow the 

 operator to set from fifty to sixty eggs per day every day in the year. When the last Hatcher is set the 

 first one set will be ready for a new supply of eggs and with one extra machine you can put in from five 

 to ten eggs per day to take the place of the infertile eggs in the first test which will enable you to keep 

 your machines entirely full of strong, fertile eggs. 



Where several thousand chickens are raised annually the Cycle Hatcher is best adapted to the 

 work, making it possible to bring to maturity more broilers from a given number of eggs set than can 

 be grown when the eggs are improperly incubated in large wooden machines or those not retaining all 

 the natural moisture of the egg. 



Both styles of Hatchers are fire-proof ; they are so constructed that the oil never becomes heated, 

 thus eliminating all danger from fire. Price, $6.50. 



THE CYCLE FIREPROOF BROODER-HATCHER 



Holds 50 eggs. Constructed entirely 01 metal, except insula- 

 lation. Is selt'-regulating. Requires no supplied moisture and 

 will last a lifetime. Shipping weight, well boxed, twenty 

 pounds. Price, $6.50. 



Capacity, 50 Eggs 



Broods and hatches at the same time, 

 reducing the cost of raising fowls about 

 one-half less than was formerly done with 

 incubators and hens. Think of it ! Satis- 

 factory results may be had with this 

 machine by setting a few eggs every day, 

 once each week, or by filling the machine 

 half full of eggs and every ten days putting 

 in a fresh supply, thus taking off a hatch 

 every ten days or oftener, then filling in the 

 empty portion of the machine with fresh eggs. 



This is the machine that made it pos . 

 sible to get such large returns from a few 

 hens in the Philo System Plant. It can be 

 operated successfully under conditions where 

 wooden machines have proven failures. 



The Cycle Brooder-Hatcher em- 

 bodies many other excellent features which 

 limited space precludes mentioning, but one 

 of importance is in connection with the 

 lamp, which is let down from the top of the 

 machine, saving the operator unnecessary 

 stooping every time the lamp is examined. 

 Price,complete with Brooder attachment, $8.50. 



Price, #8.50 



Holds 50 eggs, compact, safe and practical incubator and brooder 

 rombined, one lamp serving both purposes. Shipping weight, well 

 boxed, 25 pounds. Price, $8.50.
