GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 143 



underneath the curtain. A continuous sup- 

 ply of fresh, warmed air is automatically 

 forced beneath the hover.. This air is forced 

 downward slowly, until it finds its way out 

 between slits in the curtain. 



The fumes from the lamp positively can- 

 not get into the brooding- space where the 

 chicks are located. The fumes are con- 

 ducted into an air-tight drum beneath the 

 hover, where the heat is radiated down 

 onto the backs of the chicks, and thence 

 out through the fume pipe. 



The lamp can be removed from this 

 hover without allowing heat under the 

 hover to escape. This insures an even, 

 continuous heat beneath the hover, and re- 

 duces the amount of oil used. 



This Portable Hover,, as its name indi- 

 cates, can be picked up at any time, all 

 complete, and moved about without hinder- 

 ing its operation. Very convenient for 

 cleaning and moving. Rated capacity, 

 seventy-five newly hatched chicks, or fifty 

 chicks that are ten days to six weeks old.

CYPHERS ADAPTABLE HOVEB. 



The Cyphers Adaptable Hover is self- 

 ventilating and seif-regulating. It supplies 

 a continuous flow of fresh, pure, warmed 

 air under the hover, and at the same time 

 .:-aintain.s a steady-, uniform heat. All the 

 essentials of successful brooding of chicks 

 are automatically provided. Thousands of 

 poultry growers use this hover in raising 

 big, strong flocks of chicks. It is "adapt- 

 able" to use in colony coops, in portable 

 houses, in home-made brooder coops, such 

 as goods boxes, piano boxes, and organ 

 cases, as well as in large brooding houses. 



It is constructed entirely of •non-combus- 

 tible material, and bears the fire under- 

 writers' Inspected Brooder label. Capacity, 

 seventy-five newly hatched chicks, or fifty 

 chicks that are ten days to six weeks old.
