PRAIRIE STATE INCUBATORS AND BROODERS 



Home Hover 



Families having hatches of 40 to 50 chicks need a Hover 

 that will care for their chicks, keep them in good condition; 

 it must be light, easily attended to and positive in operation. 



We recommend this Hover because we have sold it for 

 years with satisfaction, and because it is made by the best 

 incubator people in this country, we believe; low in price, 

 easily handled to clean, and positive in action. 



If you are going to raise chicks, get one of these. 

 50-chick size $5.50

Cypress Case. The outer case is of cypress, known as the 

 wood everlasting. The particular wood employed in con- 

 structing an incubator case has no bearing upon the hatch- 

 ing qualities of the machine. We have selected cypress at 

 a considerable cost to ourselves over other woods because 

 it is the most durable under all possible atmospheric or cli- 

 matic conditions, and because it takes so well the beautiful 

 natural-wood finish characteristic of Prairie State incubators. 



The inner case, or egg-chamber, is constructed of thor- 

 oughly seasoned soft wood, such as pine or poplar, all joints 

 being tongued and grooved. 



No sheet steel enters into the Prairie State case. A satis- 

 factory sheet-steel case might be made, but if propely con- 

 structed would necessitate a much higher price. 



Nor do we resort to inferior substitutes, such as paste- 

 board, burlap, oil cloth or combination board. Such materials 

 cannot last under the varying conditions of incubator use.
