PRAIRIE STATE SAND TRAY INCUBATOR 



To those who desire to rear as well as to hatch chicks and ducks, the selection of an incubator is of vital 

 importance. The high death rate experienced with chicks the first ten days is more frequently due to imperfect 

 incubation than to any other cause. Too many incubators of today are constructed with reference solely to hatch- 

 ing the desired numbers without considering the manner in which they are brought into existence. 



Weak, amende chicks, lacking in strength and vitality, are of no value, if you hatch thousands; hence the 

 importance of carefully considering the merits of an incubator in this . „ , 



direction before making a selection. 



The Prairie State Sand Tray Incubators have proven themselves 

 by thousands of tests, both in the hands of the novice, as well as in 

 comparative results obtained by the large poultry plants using different 

 makes of incubators. 



The perfect construction and automatic heat regulation of these 

 machines makes them easily operated and results doubly certain.

The Newtown "Giant " Coal-Burning, Self-Regulator 



Colony Brooder 



SIMPLEST, SAFEST AND MOST ECONOMICAL 



Heat automatically regulated by 

 Thermostat. Temperature held at 

 the right degree all the time without 

 any attention. 



Because it burns anthracite coal, 

 colony houses are as safe from fire as 

 your home with its coal-burning stove 

 and heater. 



The Coal Magazine of the Newtown 

 is filled from the top, above the De- 

 flector, and holds 2 to 4 buckets 

 of coal. 



Coal is fed to the fire automatically. 

 As one piece is consumed another 

 drops into its place, insuring a con- 

 stant, even fire. 



It saves much labor, because it 

 needs coaling only every 24 to 48 

 hours under normal weather condi- 

 tions. One filling of the Coal Maga- 

 zine has been sufficient for 96 hours 

 during mild weather. 



The 1000 to 1500-chicks Giant 

 consumes approximately 8 cents 



worth of coal a day during the severest weather, with coal at $7 a ton. An oil brooder, or brooders, to accom- 

 modate the same number of chicks, requires 5 gallons of oil at an approximate cost of 55 cents a day. 



All gases and heat pass from the fire into a Heat Radiator above the fire — 

 which extends out from the Heater — and are utilized. This means great 

 fuel economy. 



No pulleys, pulley cords or counter-balance weights to get out of order 

 and slip. Heat Deflector need not be raised to coal and shake the fire, or to 

 remove ashes. 



No. 10 for up to 300 chicks $18.00 



No. 1 for up to 500 chicks 25.00 



No. 2 for up to 1500 chicks 35.00
