Newtown Colony Brooder 



The Newtown is the orig- 

 inal Coal-burning, Self-feed- 

 ing, Self-regulating Colony 

 Brooder — the ma- 

 chine which actu- 

 a 1 1 y revolution- 

 ized poultry rais- 

 ing — which has 

 been imitated but 

 never equalled. It 

 has established it 

 self on thousand? 

 of poultry plants 

 as the most important factor in the successful rais- 

 ing of chicks. 



The One Perfect Brooder. It has thoroughly dem- 

 onstrated its right to be called "The One Perfect 

 Brooder," and is justly claimed to be superior to any 

 Colony Brooder on the market. Through years of 

 practical tests and use under all conditions it has 

 been brought to a point of perfection in the details 

 of construction. The Newtown is not an experiment 

 — it has made good. The purchaser of this time- 

 tested Brooder runs no risk; he knows it will give 

 satisfaction. More Newtowns are in successful oper- 

 ation than all other makes of coal-burning Colony 

 Brooders combined, Made in three sizes.

The outer wall of the Home Hatcher is cypress — 

 the wood everlasting. Between the inner and outer 

 wall, special provisions in the way of insulation 

 have again been made so that the consumption of 

 oil might be still further cut. There has been left 

 sufficient space for "dead" air as to justify the con- 

 sideration of the high quality of this insulation, 

 which Government authorities assure us is the sec- 

 ond best insulating medium know if used in suffi- 

 cient quantity. The great trouble with other ma- 

 chines using similar insulation is the thinness of the 

 case which leaves so little space as to make the 

 "dead air" ineffective. The material used in the heat- 

 ing system is pure copper throughout. Copper is used 

 because it has a higher resistance to corrosion or 

 rusting than any other material that would be prac- 

 tical for the purpose. This is the most vulnerable 

 point of a hot-water incubator and it is absolutely 

 necessary that the boiler and tubes be not only 

 made of the right material, but that the material 

 is heavy enough to prevent the acid accruing in water 

 to rot through and cause a leak. 



On account of the heat of the lamp coming in 

 actual contact with it the boiler is particularly 

 abused. To compensate for this the boiler of the 

 Home Hatcher is made of 50 per cent heavier copper 

 than that used in other incubators heated in a simi- 

 lar manner. 



A deep nursery chamber is provided in every Home 

 Hatcher. After a hatch is completed the chicks can 

 be transferred to the nursery and the egg trays and 

 filth resulting from the hatch removed from the ma- 

 chine. The chicks may be kept in the nursery for 

 from twenty-four to seventy-two hours, when they 

 should be placed in a warm, comfortable hover or 

 brooder.
