POULTRY SUPPLIES 



Buckeye Lamp-Heated Brooders 



There is no waste of heat. The dead air-space keeps all the 

 heat in and all the cold out. 



The "Buckeye" Lamp is Not Enclosed. This feature of the 

 "Buckeye" Brooder is in itself one of the most valuable im- 

 provements ever made to an oil-burning Brooder. It is, in fact, 

 the improvement that makes the oil-burner just as safe as a coal- 

 burning stove. 



Fresh Air. The constant current of fresh air over the lamp- 

 bowl prevents all possibility of overheating the oil, and absolute 

 safety is the result. This improvement is just as good as an 

 insurance policy. It's the fresh air that makes the chicks grow. 



The Outside Shell is made of 28-gauge galvanized steel — the 

 inside shell is 28-gauge black iron — with a one-inch dead air- 

 space between. 



The Brooder Body is supported by three Cast-iron Legs that 

 are rigidly secured to the sides by a set-nut, which makes them 

 easily detachable. 



The Lamp Support is free from the floor and is welded to the 

 plate above. The door to the lamp-chamber is of galvanized steel 

 with a large peep-hole for the ready observation of the lamp. 



The Lamp-Bowl is made of seamless galvanized steel — the 

 burner is a "Miller" — all the fittings are of heavy brass and the 

 chimney is made of sturdy black iron. 



The Thermometer is mounted on a hardwood turning which 

 is dropped through the top of the brooder, and brings the bulb 

 of the instrument right down to the level of the chicks. Each 

 Brooder is equipped with a thermometer.

Oakes Economy Hover 



Patented January 4, 1916 



SAFETY CONVENIENCE ECONOMY 



The Oakes Economy Hover is simple in construction, made of 

 steel throughout, and all parts are seamed or welded together, 

 making it light, strong, and durable. It is complete in itself and 

 can be conveniently lifted by the two handles without disturbing 

 the lamp. It can be used anywhere, as it stands on a level floor; 

 no platform, false floor, or other preparation necessary. 



The lamp, lamp-slide, and lamp-box form a very convenient 

 combination, and one which is doubly safe, as the lamp has an 

 O. K. Safety Burner, and the lamp-box is fireproof.

No. C103. Hover. 22-inch drum, without cage 10 00 



Moe's Chick Hover 



The Canopy is of heavj' galvanized steel, and consists of a top 

 and bottom layer, with a deflector or baffle plate between them, 

 all double seamed and perfectly air-tight. 



The metal chimney fits snugly into the bottom of the canopy 

 and the lamp or heating unit is arranged to secure perfect com- 

 bustion and ventilation. 



The hollow canopy radiates an even warmth over the entire 

 curtained space and there is a convenient peep-tube leading to 

 the lamp, so the operator can quickly see if the wick is at the 

 correct height, and burning properly. The lamp is protected 

 with a slotted galvanized iron shield, from the floor to the canopy, 

 so the chicks cannot injure themselves. 



The curtain is of white canvas, in two layers, with alternate 

 slits or openings to prevent drafts. 



A very excellent Hover at a low price. 

 No. 154 Moe's Hover. Capacity 50 chicks. Diameter of canopy 



19 inches, height of hovering space 61 2 inches, depth of curtain 



6 inches, height to top of draft pipe 14 inches. F*rice, $5.50.
