No further trouble io keeping a constant 
supply of PURE CUE AN WATER before your 
Fowls. A practical application of a scientific principle, 
saving ninetcen-twentierhs of the usual labor in watering 
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 
in the coldest weather. 
,The bulk of the water is always in an air-tight chamber, 
perfectly protected from all dust and dirt, from the action 
of the air, from all loss or waste, and Irom becoming im¬ 
pure from any cause whatever, and is automatically fed into 
the drinking-dish as required. The Poultry cannot soil the 
water in the dish, nor get their feet in it; and as the dish 
holds but a small quantity of water, it is renewed many 
times a day by fresh water from the reservoir. 
We guarantee good ware and perfect satisfaction.
