Petaluma Hot Water Incubators 
Combine every feature of mechanical supremacy and enduring qualities and are in every respect 
just what is claimed, the best hot water incubators at the lowest price. 
The water is circulated in copper tubes of larger size than is usually put into incubators, therefore 
more ratdiating surface and hence better heating. The entire heating system being copper, there will 
be no rusting or accumulation of rust or scale in the pipes to obstruct the circulation of the water. 
ELECTRICALLY HEATED HOT WATER INCUBATORS 
Where one has the electric current service, it is better to use our regular electric incubators. One 
derives all the advantages of the character of warmth supplied through our electric system, which 
many operators claim has a very subtle and invigorating influence upon the development of the chicks. 
Should any one, however, desire to heat the water by electricity instead of coal oil, we can furnish 
an adapter heating element, to insert in the heater, and a thermostat and breaker and necessary 
connecting wire at a very liberal price. 
Lamp and Burner 
Our Petaluma lamp with sleeve burner is used, making it more economical in consumption of oil 
than any other machine. The tank style of fount is used on two larger size incubators, which carries 
enough oil for a week or more, thus lessening the labor in caring for the machines. 
Fresh Air 
The entrance of fresh air to the machine is through the opening around the heater which rises up 
over a dividing partition and the moisture pan, and passes out through channels in the walls of the 
opposite end, extending through the top of the machine, and therefore the exit of air from the egg 
chamber is not obstructed or interfered with when the machines are placed end to end against one 
another. 
Moisture Pan 
The moisture pan is placed in a most unique position. It is inserted through the front of the 
machine, is easily handled, and the operator can always see exactly the amount of water it contains 
and very readily put in more when it isneeded.

BROODER SIZES 
Poultry folks have learned through ex¬ 
perience that smaller stoves do not hold a 
large enough body of heat to give good 
results. On the other hand, large flocks 
were found hard to handle. Consequently 
we standardized on those tw r o sizes that 
make up 97 per cent of the public de¬ 
mand. The number of chicks a brooder 
stove can take care of is one which de¬ 
pends on many factors other than the size 
of the hover. To begin with, no power of 
imagination will stretch a 52-inch hover 
or a GO-inch hover to be more than it 
really is. Then there is the question of 
the stove; its coal capacity; its ability to 
hold heat and distribute all the heat gene¬ 
rated evenly beneath the hover. The 
brooder room, its size and construction 
must be thought about also. All good 
poultrvmen say, “avoid over-crowding. 
The death rate will be high. Loss of vi¬ 
tality will be the fate of those remaining 
and the fallacy of over-crowding will be 
proven in the egg^basket.” 
STOVE NO. 814, $23.25 
A sturdy, reliable, coal burning brooder 
for flocks of Jess than 500 chicks. Heavy 
cast iron stove has hot blast feature. 
Rigid but convenient 52-inch hover, gal¬ 
vanized sheet steel. Generous doors at 
opposite sides of hover—coal door at top. 
Suitable for warm brooder house, 8 to 12 
feet square. Weight 140 pounds. 
STOVE NO. 660, $28.50 
Coal capacitv about 45 pounds. 60-inch 
hover. Standard rating as given by many 
manufacturers is 1000 to 1500 chicks. 
Jamesway prefers to say that it will sue 
cessfully brood 300 to 600 chicks in a 
brooder house with 125 to 400 square feet 
of floor space. Weight 155 pounds. 
STOVE NO. 863, $34.00 
70-inch hover, 5-inch stack. Coal ca¬ 
pacity 60 pounds. C'aimed rating for 
stove and hover of this size ranges from 
1000 to 1500 chicks. Jamesway would 
much rather say this size and hover will 
nicely handle upwards of 500 to 1000 day- 
old chicks in warm brooder rooms. 12 to 
20 feet square. 
Jamesway Brooder 
MOISTENED WARM-AIR BROODER 
Don’t take chances with your chicks. The brooder you use 
largely determines the kind of chicks you raise. Get the best! 
The Jamesway is the only coal brooder that has a special air 
purifier and also an air moistener and three-point control— 
three exclusive Jamesway features you get in no other coal 
brooder. These special features protect your chicks against 
foul, dangerous, dried-out air under the hover which parches 
tender membranes, saps vitality and causes heavy death losses. 
Chicks grow faster because they do not breathe over and over 
again foul, flat, lifeless air. 
THREE-POINT CONTROL 
An exclusive Jamesway feature. A pipe damper works auto¬ 
matically with draft and check dampers. Three points of 
automatic fire control instead of two. No overheating, then 
chilling of chicks, but an even steady fire all the time. If you 
want lasting day-in and day-out satisfaction, you can get it 
best with the Jamesway Brooder.
