TYCOS HYGROMETER, No. 5796. 
Millions of chicks die in the shell every 
year for lack of proper moisture condi- 
tions. The correct percentage of moisture 
during incubation determines to a great 
extent the success or failure of your 
hatch. The ‘‘Tycos” is an accurate indi- 
cator of the degree of moisture present, 
showing exactly what the conditions are, 
so that if they are not correct they can be 
made so. It is fitted with an easy reading 
seale of black oxidized brass with white 
filled figures and graduation; glass cistern 
and silk wicks which can be duplicated at 
any time. “Tycos” stands for quality, 
accuracy and dependability. Price, $1.75; 
by mail, $1.90.

THERMOMETERS. 
Our Thermometers are made from sea- 
soned lens tubes. Their accuracy is guar- 
anteed. Minimum Thermometers consist 
of a glass tube arranged horizontally and 
filled with alcohol, a black index moving 
freely in the fluid. The instrument is set 
by raising the bulb and allowing the index 
to float to the end of the column of alco- 
hol; as the temperature decreases. the 
column recedes, carrying with it the index 
to the lowest point, where it remains, 
while on an increase of temperature the 
alcohol alone re-ascends. The end of the 
index farthest from the bulb shows the 
lowest temperature reached. These Ther- 
mometers are of the greatest value to 
planters, farmers and any one wishing to 
know “how cold it got” during the night. 
It will be impossible with the ordinary 
thermometers to exercise sufficient watch- 
fulness to obtain accurate results. Usually 
the coldest time during the 24 hours is be- 
between 5 and 8 o’clock in the morning. To 
get an accurate result of the degree of 
cold these thermometers should be exposed 
to the north. They should not be exposed 
to the sun and rain.
