THERMOMETERS. 



Our Thermometers are made from sea- 

 soned lens tubes. Their accuracy is guar- 

 anteed. Minimum Thermometers consist 

 of a glass tube arranged horizontally and 

 filled with alcohol, a black index moving 

 freely in the fluid. The instrument is set 

 by raising the bulb and allowing the index 

 to float to the end of the column of alco- 

 hol; as the temperature decreases the 

 column recedes, carrying with it the in- 

 dex to the lowest point, where it remains 

 while on an increase of temperature the 

 alcohol alone re-ascends. The end of the 

 index fartherest from the bulb shows the 

 lowest temperature reached. These Ther- 

 mometers are of the greatest value to 

 planters, farmers and any one wishing to 

 know "how cold it got" during the night. 

 It will be impossible with the ordinary 

 thermometers to exercise sufficient watch- 

 fulness to obtain accurate results. Usual- 

 ly the coldest time during the 24 hours is 

 between 5 and 8 o'clock in the morning. 

 To get an accurate result of the degree 

 of cold these thermometers should be ex- 

 posed to the north. They should not be 

 exposed to the sun and rain.

TYCOS HYGROMETER, No. 5796. 



Millions of chicks die in the shell every 

 year for lack of proper moisture condi- 

 tions. The correct percentage of mois- 

 ture during incubation determines to a 

 great extent the success or failure of 

 your hatch. The "Tycos" is an accurate 

 indicator of the degree of moisture 

 present, showing exactly what the con- 

 ditions are, so that if they are not cor- 

 rect they can be made so. It is fitted 

 with an easy reading scale of black oxi- 

 dized brass with white filled figures and 

 graduation; glass cistern and silk wicks 

 which can be duplicated at any time. 

 "Tycos" stands for quality, accuracy and 

 dependability. Price, $2.00; weight 12 

 ounces. Wicks, 20c each. To get a good 

 hatch of chickens, the Hygrometer should 

 register 55%, ducks 66%. 



RAIN GAUGE. 



To measure the amount of rainfall, re- 

 course is had to the Rain Gauge. A Rain 

 Gauge should not be set on a roof, a slope 

 or a terrace, but upon a level piece of 

 ground and in a clear space, so that it 

 will not be sheltered by trees, shrubs or 

 buildings, the Gauge should be placed as 

 near level as possible, and fixed in such 

 a way that it would not be overturned by 

 strong wind. 



Snow. — The best way to measure the 

 rainfall by the depth of snow, is to select 

 a place where the snow has not drifted, 

 invert the Funnel of the Gauge, press it 

 down through the snow to the surface of 

 the ground, give the Funnel a turn and 

 it will lift up the snow within its cir- 

 cumference, this should then be melted 

 into the Gauge and measured. Price, $3.50; 

 postage, 25c
