fowls. Ornamental; very durable; cannot get out of 
order. Being: made of iron, and well galvanized -(inside and 
out), it cannot rust nor break. Easily kept from freezing

The bulk of the water is always in an air-tight chamber,

of the air, from all loss or waste, and Irom becoming im- 
pure from any cause whatever, and is automatically feu into 
the drinking-'dish as required. The Poultry cannot soil the 
water in the disb, nor get their feet in it; and as the dish

times a day by fresh water from the reservoir.
