EVERLASTING 



Buckeye Brooder Stoves will do anything any other Brooder will do, 

 regardless of price — and do it better. It matters not whether you have ten 

 or ten hundred chicks under a Standard Colony Brooder, the results arc 

 the siime. You can remove part of the chicks or increase the number at 

 any time. 



Air Always Pure and Fresh. No dampers or valves of any kind between 

 the smoke-pipe and the lire, the draft Deing controlled automatically, an 

 exclusive feature of the Standard Colony Brooder and the only coal-burn- 

 ing brooder that is absolutely free from gases under the hover. 



Buckeye Colony Brooder is fireproof, simple and requires little 

 attention; has but one adjusting nut, which you need never 

 touch more than once in a season. Requires absolutely no more 

 attention than filling with coal once a day, shaking down the 

 ashes into the pan twice. 



The canopy furnished with the Buckeye Brooders is made of 

 28-gauge galvanized steel and the stove is equipped with rocker 

 grate, self-cleaning and anti-clog. The equipment includes 

 portable ash-pan for stove and rope and pulleys for canpoy.

The Reliable Coal-Burning Colony Brooder 



The New 1923 Reliable Coal-Burning Brooder is, without question, one of the most 

 durably constructed Brooders made and with ordinary care, it will last a lifetime. It 

 appeals to the best judgment of the best poultry judges of the world. Moreover, it does 

 its work to perfection in the hands of the most inexperienced operator. It has features 

 and qualities that are not possessed by any similar Brooder and it is worth more to you 

 on account of these improvements. 



It has a pouch feed door in the new designed top of the stove, which increases the coal 

 capacity. 



The Stove weighs fully 15 per cent more and has 10 per cent larger coal capacity than 

 any similar stove of the same brooding capacity on the market. This does not seem of 

 much importance but when you stop to think that this 10 per cent more coal will run 

 this stove from two to four hours longer, it is an item worth considering. 



Bums soft coal. \ lard coal is best to use if it can be obtained, but this is not always possible, so to mak 

 the use of soft coal, we have equipped it with a 4-inch flue and a screw plate draft, making it possible 

 clogging up or going out.

Buckeye Blue-Flame Colony Brooder 



Here is a Colony Brooder heated by an extremely efficient "Blue-FIamc" burner that can be used to good advantage by breeders 

 who are unable to secure hard coal, equipped with an improved type of "Blue-Flame" burner that will furnish an abundance of heat 

 at a very low cost of operation. There is nothing complicated about their operation, and since we know them to be the most highly 

 efficient Brooders of this type on the market, we have no hesitation about recommending them to our trade. 



The Improved Buckeye Blue-Flame Brooder is positively insured against the clogging of oil or flushing the burner. The large free 

 channels guard against all chance of stopping the oil-supply and a continuous supply of heat is therefore assured during every minute 

 of the day and night. Just so long as any oil remains in the reservoir, it will be fed to the burner with absolute certainty, so with an 



assured supply of oil to the burner and a system of regulation that cannot 

 go wrong we have a Brooder that should fill every requirement and satisfy 

 every user. 



AH these Brooders, regardless of size, are equipped with a self-feeding oil 

 container, holding one gallon of oil, which never requires filling more than 

 once in twenty-four hours. 



The flame in the burner is controlled by turning the wick higher or lower, 

 just as we regulate the flame of an ordinary lamp. 



The baffle plate in canopy reflects the heat more directly on the backs 

 of the chicks. 



The hovers are substantially built of galvanized steel and are stipported 

 bv four cast-iron legs.
