 PRAIRIE STATeHjNIVERSAL HOVER 



It may be attached to any form of outdoor brooder two feet or more in height, 

 to any size or form of colony house, shed, coop, piano, dry goods or organ box. It 

 also enables those who wish to build their own brooders to get the best brooding 

 device possible in an economical manner. It fills that want, felt by everyone who 

 raises poultry, for something they can use anywhere, any time, and do the work well. 



The hover is twenty-two inches in diameter, the top of which is wood, lined with 

 strawboard, a 4-inch rim extending downward, to which is attached six inches of 

 felt curtains. The hover stands on three iron feet, but is not stationary, and may 

 be raised and moved instantly, if desired. 



A thermometer is provided, which may be read from the outside without disturb- 

 ing any part of the brooder. The lamp used is made of metal, using a No. 2 Sun 

 Hinge Burner and a metallic chimney seven inches in length, thus assuring a steady, 

 bright, clear flame; the lamp being on the outside of the brooder in view at all 

 times. Surrounding the hot-air flue or chimney is a fresh-air pipe through which 

 fresh air, slightly warmed, is injected into the upper part of the brooder. This dif- 

 fuses downward and through the curtains, thus furnishing a perfect system of 

 ventilation. At an additional cost of $1 to the regular price a standard water regu- 

 lator may be attached to the hover, by the use of which a uniform temperature can 

 be maintained without close attention. It is not essential, but a great convenience 

 during the cold, changeable weather, and greatly aids the operator in supplying the 

 desired conditions for newly hatched chicks, relieving him of any cause of worry 

 concerning the brood.
