 PRAIRIE STATE BROODERS 



No. 5 INDOOR BROODER 



PRAIRIE STATE BROODER Noe 5 is used as an individual indoor brooder in a 

 continuous brooder house of any size, or it may be used during spring and sum- 

 mer in a large colony house, as it is portable. In the large brood house for wini-er 

 rearing, it is used in connection with a hot-water heater and pipe system. The 

 No. 5 Brooder consists essentially of a Universal Hover, mounted upon a platform 

 eight inches high and thirty-six inches square. At one end of this platform is the 

 lamp-case, which Is closed by a door with a glass opening and mirror, so that the 

 operator can see the flame at any time without stooping and make the adjust- 

 ment from the outside without opening the lamp-case door. Upon this platform 

 rests a removable case sixteen inches higli, made of 5^ -inch tongued and grooved 

 lioards, the ends of which are fitted with glass openings covered with slides so as 

 to secure direct ventilation when desired. Tlie top of the case is covered with a 

 hinge wire screen, and this in turn with a loose cotton-cloth screen that may s 

 be used wholly or in part, depending upon the outside temperature. The Universal 

 Hover lifts out instantly for cleaning purposes or for the examination of the 

 chicks. Provision is made for piping away tlie smoke from the hover, so that the 

 air in the brood house is pure and sweet, no matter if several hundred brooders 

 may be in operation in the brood room. This is the most practical indoor brooder 

 that has been devised to date, and is used very extensively by progressive poultry- 

 men, many of them having discarded their pipe systems and installed this system 

 of brooding. This brooder Is no longer made, but can be furnished on order.
