OAKES' IMPROVED TRAPNEST 



Needed By Every Poultryman 



Every year poultiy raisers realize more and more how unprofitable it is to feed hens that do 

 not lay. They eat the food good hens should have and overcrowd the poultry-house and yards, 

 particularly during the confinement of winter months. Weed out the loafers and slackers in your 

 flock by using the Oakes' Improved Trapnest. It will pay for itself many times over by showing 

 you which hens are layers and which are liars. It is not always the cackling hen that lays. 



The Oakes' Improved Trapnest is made of galvanized iron throughout, thoroughly durable 

 and substantial and absolutely sanitary. Can be scrubbed and scalded — no cracks or crevices 

 in which lice and mites can escape. The trap is held open by a catch, and when the hen enters 

 the trap falls and keeps her confined in nest until released by attendants. It never fails. 

 Furnished with perches, if desired. These perches when let down for use, enable the fowls to 

 enter the nest; when raised at night the fowls cannot roost on them and they prevent "broody " 

 fowls from entering the nests. 



This nest has many advantages. Hangs on the wall. Easy to clean. Just pull nest out at bottom and dirt falls out. Many 

 poultrymen use two or three lower sections and one upper section, placing one above the other and thus conserving space. 

 The lower section is made with flat top so upper section can rest on same. Length 46 inches, width 13 inches. Add to shipping 

 weights listed below five pounds to the 4-compartment and eight pounds to the 8-compartment to cover the nests with perhces.
