FOSTERMOTHERS AND RUNS WITH LATEST IMPROVEMENTS. 
qpHIS INCUBATOR is offered to the public as the result of several years careful study and actual test, and is the only kind used in this, the largest 
* poultry farm in the Australasian colonies : also in the Goverinnent Agricultural Colleges It is admirably .suited for this changeable climat", as we 
sometimes have the four seasons in twenty -four hours. The tanks in these incubators are constructed in sucli a manner that the change in the weather 
has litt:e or no effect on the eggs— they are self-regulating. The egg drawer maintains an even temperature all over alike, and we have the world's 
record of working these machines with the lowest consumption of oil over any other in the market that is worked by lamp heat— costing only 8d per 
enormous heating surf ice, there are 375 square inches to receive heat from lamp To further assist this 
month. To obtain this result we have 
economy, we have a warming chamber in the body of tank into which the cold air passes where it becomes warm, and at no t nie does cold air pass 
through to the eggs: chilling the eggs wi h cold air having proved times out of number to be fatal to successful results. The tank gives all-round heat 
with rapid circulation of water. Means have been carefully adapted to provide a continual supply of warm water in the moisture pan ; this constantly 
giving off warm vapour to nourish the blood vessels in the eggs, which is so essential to good results. In a trial hatch just before adopting our last 
patent, we obtained the satisfactory egg drawer result, viz. Out of 89 fertile eggs, we obtained 86 vigorous ducklings, I dead in shell and 2 rotten eggs. 
Each machine is faithfully made and thoroughly tested before leaving the works. Printed instructions, also diagram how to start machine, tent 
with each : also a warranty if required. 
Terms— Cash with Order, which will be promptly attended to.
