FE prairie STATE STOVE BROODER 



The Prairie State Stove Brooder is built solidly of cast iron 

 throughout. This stove is not mounted upon legs. We have learned 

 not to use them because they afford a space under the stove 

 where chicks may huddle and be burned to death. Therefore, 

 the base of our stove rests squarely upon the floor. Bolted to 

 it is a cylindrical cast iron ash pit of ample capacity, fitted with a 

 solid door having non-heating handle and containing no opening 

 through which hot ash or sparks may fly. This door has' no 

 function in the regulation of drafts, and need (never be opened 

 except to remove ashes. The entire volume of fresh air required 

 for proper combustion passes, subject to action of the regulator, 

 through a cast iron air inlet elbow bolted to the top of the ash 

 pit in such position as to admit air on the grate level. A one- 

 piece jointless fire box rests upon and is bolted to the ash pit 

 casting. It is made of a high-grade foundry iron of chemical 

 content, such as will withstand intense heat through prolonged 

 firing, and with such capacity as to insure maintenance of the 

 fire through long periods. A free flow of fresh air has constant 

 access to the entire fire pot from the bottom as it enters through 

 the air inlet elbow. The top section of the stove, surmounting 

 its fire box and bolted to it, involves in its assembly a cast iron 

 valve seat which makes air tight contact when the upper regu- 

 lator valve rests upon it. Four angle brackets bolted integral 

 with the top plate to this section, two on each side of chimney 

 opening, serve to support two parallel angle steel bearing bars, 

 upon which rests the galvanized steel canopy or deflector form- 

 ing the hover proper. Extending to the right of the chimney 

 opening, and securely bolted to the top plate, is a solid cast 

 iron bearer or bracket, from which is suspended the entire regu- 

 lator. The capacity of the Prairie State Stove is as great as 

 that of any stove upon the market today. That is, it will give 

 heat sufficient to brood as many as one thousand to fifteen hun- 

 dred chicks, doing it economically and safely. The canopy de- 

 flector of the Prairie State Stove Brooder is made of galvanized 

 sheet steel, and in two sections, hinged together on a line with 

 the center of the stove. The regulator with which we equip the 

 Prairie State Stove Brooder is automatic, sensitive, positive, 

 triple acting, and of exclusive Prairie State design. It is of the 

 wafer thermostat type, fastened to a bar extending downward 

 from the regulator support, wafer being placed at a level which 

 has been carefully determined as best for indicating exact floor 

 temperature required.

Why pay double the amount when at a less price you can get a Stove that is 

 just as efficient and durable as any made? There is nothing cheap about this 

 Stove except the price. Made by a large manufacturer of Stoves, and there is not 

 a more durable Stove made at any price.

WATER GLASS 



Put up expressly for packing away eggs, when they are 

 plentiful and cheap. During the summer months especially 

 eggs are much cheaper than they are in the winter time. 

 With this preparation you can pack them away, and have a 

 supply of fresh eggs all winter. One gallon of this solution 

 is sufficient to mix with enough water to pack away fifty 

 dozen egga. Use 1 part Water Glass to 9 parts of water. 



At a cost of only one cent a dozen, you will be able to save 

 anywhere from fifteen to thirty cents on the dozen, and have 

 the satisfaction of having your own eggs.

KEROSENE OIL 



One of the most difficult things for a poultryman to secure 

 is a good grade of oil to use in incubators and brooders. 



We have had so many complaints from this cause that we 

 have deemed it expedient to put up a high-grade oil to assist 

 them in this trouble. You will not be able to appreciate the 

 difference till you have tried a can of this oil. 



Put up in five-gallon shipping cans.
