 and applied 

 moisture.

 board, metal linings, oil cloth, or any other substance 

 subject to deterioration.

Prairie State Brooders and Hovers 



Prairie State Colony Brooders are built in three 

 sizes, having a total floor space of 18, 12^ and 9 

 square feet, respectively. Numbers 1 and 2 are two- 

 c o m p a rtment 

 brooders, with 1 

 inch partition in 

 center, foriniriii 

 the hovel i>r 

 nursery room on 

 one side and -ui 

 parlor on t li 1 

 other. Acce— . ti 

 sun parloi !■ 

 had by a widcj 

 door at bottom 

 of partition, to which is fitted a slit cotton velvet 

 curtain to afford easy passage for the chicks without 

 losing heat from the nursery room, and also a board 

 door by which the birds may be confined to the 

 nursery if desirable. 



The No. 3 Colony Brooder has but one compart- 

 ment, the hover being located at one end. In this 

 Brooder and in No. 2, hovers of the Prairie State 

 Universal type are used, 20 inches in diameter. The 

 lamp is fitted into a special compartment under the 

 brooder floor, access to the hover being had through 

 the floor. The No. 1 Colony House uses a standard 

 Prairie State Universal Hover with lamp case. In

 hrough a combination elbow and tee pipe.

Prairie State Portable Hover 



This hover is the latest product of modern manu- 

 facturing methods, and is the recognition on the part 

 of our designers of a rapidly increasing demand 

 among poultry producers for a hover adaptable every- 

 where and instantly portable with minimum labor, 

 light in weight, fire-proof throughout, economical and 

 efficient. The Prairie State Portable embraces all 

 those original and successful features which gave the 

 Universal its instant reputation, and is really the 

 Universal modified to bring the lamp case to floor 

 level, without sacrifice of safety, economy of oil, or 

 free ventilation. It is built on lines different from 

 those of all other portable hovers. The hover com- 

 plete, including lamp case, is made entirely of gal- 

 vanized steel, insulated thoroughly with non-com- 

 bustible materials and provided with double curt-.iin-i 

 of cotton velvet. The steel lamp case, attached to 

 hover by an ingenious method of our own, has coni- 

 cal depression in the bottom which automatical 11 \ 

 centers the one-piece drawn-steel lamp. It is quicklv 

 detachable and located to one side of the hover, elimi- 



nating from the hovering space all possible obstruc- 

 tions, such as hot or cold drums, against which the 

 chicks would crowd.
