We all Know it is no easy ta-k to imitate n.iture, 

 illy is this true in the process of changing 

 the outwardly inanii :z into a 



living chick. Even the hen has her troubles, some- 

 times complete failure. Then, is it not reasonable to 

 .i»-ume that to build a machine to do the work of 

 nature it most !>e made on scientific principles and in 

 a thorougli workmanlike manner?

Cypress Case. The outer case is of cypress, known 

 as the wood everlasting. The particular wood em- 

 ployed in constructing an incubator case has no bear- 

 ing upon the hatching qualities of the machine. We 

 have "elected evpre-- at a considerable cost to our- 



selves over other woods because it is the most dura- 

 ble under all possible atmospheric or climatic- condi- 

 tions, and because it takes so well the beautiful nat- 

 ural-wood finish characteristic of Prairie State [ncu 

 bators. 



The inner case, or egg-chamber, i- constructed ol 

 thoroughly seasoned soft wood, such as pine or pop 

 lar. all joints being tongued and grooved. 



No sheet steel enters into the Prairie State ease 

 A satisfactory sheet-steel case might be made, but if 

 properly constructed, would necessitate a much highei 

 price. 



Nor do we resort to inferior substitutes, such as 

 pasteboard, burlap, oil cloth or combination board. 

 Such materials cannot last under the varying condi- 

 tions of incubator use.
