To get a high per cent, of "liv- 

 able" chicks is wliere the value 

 comes in the Prairie State. Some 

 incubators may bring out nearly 

 as many chiclts, but wait ten days 

 or two weeks and tlien count your 

 chicks. That's the test. It's the 

 number of chicks that live that 

 tells the story of efficiency, owing 

 to tlie fact that it hatclies as near 

 like the old lien as human ingenu- 

 ity can copy nature. Every cliick 

 hatclied in a Prairie State Sand 

 Tray Incubator is bubbling over 

 witli vitality the minute it pops 

 out of tlie shell, and you can rest 

 assured it will thrive and grow 

 rapidly. 



All Prairie State Incubators are 

 of tlie liot-air type, insuring long 

 life and durability; no tanks to 

 rust out or spring a leak in the 

 middle of the hatch. The outside 

 case, etc., is nicely finished in nat- 

 ural wood, unstained. The space 

 between the inner and outer case 

 is insulated with 2% inches of 

 cotton batting, 3 inches on top. 

 The heating system is a combina- 

 tion of radiant heat on the top of 

 macliine witli the diffusive sys- 

 tem of ventilation. In this re- 

 spect our machine differs from No. — 100 hen eggs 

 all others upon the market. No No. 1 — 150 hen eggs 

 diffusion screens, with their faulty No. 2 — 240 hen eggs 

 distribution, are used. No. 3 — 390 hen eggs

Did you ever notice the hen that steals her nest on the 

 ground? That's natural incubation. And she usually hatches 

 every egg, don't she? We've copied her. We use a wet sand 

 tray, covering the entire bottom of the machine in close proxi- 



mity to the eggs, thus furnishing the proper amount of 

 moisture and reducing the evaporation from the eggs to the 

 same per cent. (9 to 11 per cent.) as under a hen. This insures 

 chicks full of vitality — cMcks that live — just like hen-hatched. 



Prices include all attachments, such as egg tester, thermometer, lamp, 

 tray for eggs and regulator. Guaranteed to be free from mechanical 

 defect and to liatch in tlie most approved manner.

Universal Hover. 



It may be attached to any form of outdoor brooder two feet or more in height, 

 to any size or form of colony house, shed, coop, piano, dry goods or organ box. It 

 also enables those who wish to build their own brooders to get the best brooding 

 device possible in an economical manner. It fills that want, felt by everyone who 

 raises poultry, for something they can use anywhere, any time, and do the work well. 



The hover is twenty-two inches in diameter, the top of which is wood, lined with 

 strawboard, a 4-inch rim extending downward, to which is attached six inches of 

 felt curtains. The hover stands on three iron feet, but is not stationary, and may 

 be raised and moved instantly, if desired. 



A thermometer is provided, which may be read from the outside without disturb- 

 ing any part of the brooder. The lamp used is made of metal, using a No. 2 Sun 

 Hinge Burner and a metallic chimney seven inches in length, thus assuring a steady, 

 bright, clear flame; the lamp being on the outside of the brooder in view at all 

 times. Surrounding the hot-air flue or chimney is a fresh-air pipe through which 

 fresh air, slightly warmed, is in.iected into the tapper part of the brooder. This dif- 

 fuses downward and through the curtains, thus furnishing a perfect system of 

 ventilation. At an additional cost of $1 to the regular price a standard water regu- 

 lator may be attached to the hover, by the use of which a uniform temperature can 

 be maintained without close attention. It is not essential, but a great convenience 

 during the cold, changeable weather, and greatly aids the operator in supplying the 

 desired conditions for newly hatched chicks, relieving him of any cause of worry 

 concerning the brood.
