Reliable Blue-Flame, Wickless, 

 Oil-Heated Colony Hover 



Our Late Model Positive Oil Level Ln- 

 proved Reliable Blue-Flame, Wickless, Oil- 

 Heated Colony Hover will save you time, 

 money, and worry. It is the result of years of 

 practical experiments and study. At last we 

 have perfected a heater that has an absolute 

 flame control, and is easy to regulate. 



The Heater being the vital part of the 

 Mover is constructed with great care as to its 

 durability, simplicity, and ease of operation. 

 It is positively "fool-proof." It is valveless and 

 works on an oil level. Cannot clog up or over- 

 flow. Has a cast iron base under burner which 

 protects the floor from the heat, making it abso- 

 lutely safe. We use a large oil-feed-pipe with a 

 cap on burner end thqt is removed for cleaning. 



The big advantage in this heater is that there are no packing 

 or stuffing box arrangements to get loose and leak oil. We have 

 a flexible tube with a positive connection at each end connecting 

 the burner to feed-pipe, making it leak-proof. The lifting device 

 for controlling burner is simple and positive, no lost motion or 

 sticking — free easy movement. Will hold burner where set 

 without danger of slipping or being moved by the chicks. Burner 

 is made of brass; is rust and leak-proof. They are lower at front

than rear, so when burner is turned out, the oil drains out of 

 burner rapidly and the flame responds quickl\. The indicat(^r 

 dial with positions plainly marked for Low, Medium or High 

 Flame, makes the adjustment of the flame both easy and ac- 

 curate. 



This Heater will not flare up or go out during the night hours 

 and scare or chill your chicks. It burns automatically without 

 care or bother, except only to keep it supplied with oil.

This is the handiest and easiest to operate of any brooder you ever saw. Its operation is as 

 nearly automatic in every way as possible. No lamp to bother with, no fumes or smoke to stunt 

 the chicks, no extreme fluctuations in temperature. 



In fact, the Oakes Electric Hover incorporates the same good principle as the Oakes Electric 

 Incubator and gives the same good result in raising chicks that the "electric hen" does in hatching 

 them. 



Furnished complete with automatic regulating attachments, brooder thermometer, and curtain.

Oakes Electric Incubator and Brooder 



Two Machines in one 



Patented June 26, 1923 



The slogan, "You can do it better with electricity," applies to artificial incubation as much as to any 

 other phase of the great and growing industry. The results from eggs and chicks hatched iii the Oakes 

 Electric Incubator will not only meet your fullest expectations, but you will also be pleased with the ease 

 and convenience with which this "electric hen" can be operated. 



The electric current, as applied through the heater, furnishes the ideal heat for an incubator. You 

 "push the button" and the heat is there — mild and constant — always the same, perfectly safe and under 

 absolute control within the fraction of a degree. No other incubator can be made so completely automatic 

 as the electric machine. 



The Oakes Electric Incubator is light and compact, and occupies small space. It is metal throughout, 

 except the insulation, which is porcelain, asbestos, and fiber. The case is double walled and packed with wool felt to hold the heat. 

 The heating element is in the top of the machine and is so arranged as to evenly distribute the heat. 



The Oakes "electric hen" is very economical to operate. It consumes a surprisingly small amount of electric current in a room t)f 

 ordinary temperature. The 60-egg machine uses 15 K. W. H. per hatch; the 100-egg machine about 20 K. W. H. per hatch. 



The regulator is simple in construction and all parts are in plain sight and easily accessible at all times. The ventilation is entirely 

 automatic. In addition to all necessary equipment, we send along with each "electric hen" a tube which can be placed oyer the light 

 and makes a first-class electric egg-tester. A set of legs and a double brooder curtain are furnished as part of the equipment with 

 each "electric hen." 



It requires only about five minutes to remove the lid from the Incubator and attach the legs and curtain, making a most perfect 

 hover. A little glass window in the top of Incubator enables the operator to read the temperature witiiout raising the Iid. It is easy 

 to do this even at night, for then you simply push the little button on top of the lid and the electric bulb lights inside. These two 

 features enable you to not only keep posted on the temperature with a mininuini of time and effort, but also enable you to W'atch 

 the progress of the eggs and chicks at hatching time. These machines are furnished for either 32-volt or 110-volt currents. Used 

 on either direct or altirnating currents. Be sure to specify voltage and current desired.
