PRAIRIE STATE UNIVERSAL. HOVER. 



AS the name of this hover implies, it has a 

 large or universal sphere of usefulness. 

 In fact, there is practically no limit to 

 its adaptability. It may be used or attached to 

 any form of outdoor brooder that is two feet or 

 more in height; to any size or form of colony 

 house, mushroom house, small portable building, 

 dry-goods box, shed, coop or organ or piano box. 



Where regular colony houses are used the 

 Universal Hover can be attached to one until 

 the chicks have been given a good start and 

 then removed to another for a new brood. In 

 this way it can be utilized to accomplish the 

 work of four or five expensive combination col- 

 ony brooders. It has proven to be thoroughly 

 practical in actual service, giving perfect satisfac- 

 tion during coldest weather of winter, changeable 

 conditions of spring and the heat of summer, 

 i Economy is one of its special features, aside 

 from its wide range of adaptability, as will be 

 seen from the fact that only a small No. 2 Sun 

 Hinge Burner is required to furnish all the heat 

 necessary in the coldest weather. In presenting 

 this hover to the poultry raiser we are confident 

 that it will give him more real genuine satis- 

 faction than any device ever put out. It fills 

 that want felt by everyone who raises poultry, 

 Tor something they can use for this purpose 

 .anwybere, any time, and do the work well.

The ordinary outdoor brooder will 

 do fairly good work in mild, nice, 

 bright weather, but in the cold, snowy 

 or raw, wet days of early spring, 

 when it is impossible to let the chicks 

 out for weeks at a time, they are 

 bound to die from the close confine- 

 ment and lack of exercise. In the old 

 style brooders there is not sufficient 

 floor or air space to meet the penned- 

 up conditions, and the result is heavy 

 loss of lives. 



The Prairie State Colony 

 Brooder was designed to 

 overcome this serious fault 

 and does it successfully. 

 Description. 

 This brooder house is con- 

 structed of tongued and 

 grooved chestnut boards, 1 

 inch thick. The brooder is 

 3 feet wide, 6 feet long and 

 3 feet high in front and 2 

 feet in rear. The interior 

 is divided by a movable 

 partition into two com- 

 partments. 



No. 2. 



INDOOR BROODER No. 5 



The Prairie State Indoor Brooder 

 No. 5 is the most convenient brooder 

 ever constructed, being easy to clean 

 and operate. Every part is instantly 

 accessible and removable. The floor 

 of this brooder is three feet square, 

 of tongued and grooved flooring, is 

 perfectly smooth and stands S inches 

 from the ground. The space under- 

 neath is enclosed, except at one side 

 appears an opening for the lamp. An 

 adjusted screen insures the lamp be- 

 ing placed in correct position. 



The removable upper case used on 

 this brooder overcomes the most seri- 

 ous objection to indoor brooders, as 

 with it, it is possible to suit any plan 

 of building, as the chick exit door 

 and the lamp door can be fixed to suit 

 any arrangement of doors or win- 

 dows, or the convenience of the op- 

 erator. 



Price, $8.50. 

 With Regulator, $9.50.
