NEWTOWN COLONY BROODERS 
Will Raise Every Raisable Chick—Ask Any Owner 
"A Newtown Mother” 
The Newton Coal Burning Brooder has the reputation of being the most efficient brooder 
made. It needs no introduction to poultrymen. It was the first coal-burning, self-feeding, self¬ 
regulating colony brooder put on the market, having been longer in use than any other of its type. 
It is giving efficient service in every state in the Union and eleven foreign countries, and repre¬ 
sents the modern, up-to-date brooder in the highest form of development. It is durable, easy to 
operate, safe, economical and labor saving. There is no brooder on the market which can be com¬ 
pared in any way to this brooder. When you think of these features you can see what Newtown is. 
It cares for all your chicks regardless of weather conditions. It burns a good grade of soft coal 
satisfactorily, as well as hard coal. It holds the fire and does not require constant attention. 
You don’t have to get up at night to see if your chicks have enough heat. They're always safe 
and warm with Newtown.

DRAFT EQUALIZER 
The adjustable Draft Equalizer solves a 
problem for the user of coal-burning brood¬ 
ers as it helps to maintain a steadier fire on 
windy days. This prevents the coal burning 
too fast or wind blowing smoke back down 
the chimney, causing fire to smother. The 
added protection given by this simple device 
can hardly be estimated. The Draft Equal¬ 
izer is made with either 4 inch or 5 inch.gal- 
vanized pipe. 80c., postpaid 90c.

BEFORE YOU RECEIVE YOUR CHICKS CHECK THE EQUIPMENT 
The last item of preparation is the checking of the equipment. We like to brood chicks 
in lots of 250, so the items below are based accordingly. 
Have a good supply of fuel on hand. Use chick wire to enclose chicks around hover for 
first few days. For litter use granulated Peat Moss, one bale covers 250 sq. ft. one inch 
deep. Use three 40 in. mash feeders, see page 60. For water use two six quart founts with 
adjustable stands, see page 60. At least two, 3 compartment hoppers are necessary to 
supply grit, charcoal and shell. Start with 300 lbs. of chick starter mash, use a good com¬ 
mercial gra de. When this mash is about gone, change gradually to a good growing mash. 
Buy 100 lbs. of good chick scratch and then change gradually to intermediate size. Be sure 
to have a supply of green feed available. Finely chopped Lettuce, Swiss Chard, Kale, Cab¬ 
bage, Clover, Oat Sprouts or Alfalfa. All are good. For Chick Food see page 65.
