BLUE HEN COLONY BROODERS 
Hot Air 
A vory hip:h graflo typo of hot air brooder. Whether 
niruitoHr or professional, yon can raise successfully 100 
to 1000 chicks with no more trouldc than raising a handful. 
In thirty minutos it can l^e set up, adjusted and fire started. 
Hcfjuiros no attention, except replenishing the coal and 
taking out th(5 ashes (ivery two or three days. 
Fully guaranteed. Nothing flimsy about it. Made to 
stand hard usage and should last a lifetime. Its chief 
feature is th<! wonderful success in raising a very large 
percentage of strong, healthy chicks. Chick.s get all the 
fresh, warnuKl air needed, and without floor draughts. 
Simple, safe, economical. Burns cither hard or soft coal. 
Heater. — Solid cast iron. lias two and a (luarter times 
the grate area of any other coal brooder. Grates of the 
rocking and dumping type. Clinkers can’t lodge. Has a 
12-inch Fir(; Pot aiifl holds 15 to 24 hours’ supply of coal. 
The (?xtra larg(‘ grate makes a thin layer of ashes and a 
hot fin?, which do(?sn’t easily shake out. All other brooder 
stoves liavc a thi(?k layer of ashes which requires a con¬ 
tinual watching, shaking and applying draft to get proper 
amount of heat. 
Does Not Overheat the House. — This is probably one 
of the greatest features of the Blue Hen. Under the 
hover, the chicks find all the comfort necessary, The heat 
is applied in Xatun^’s way. \ large area of the floor is 
warmed without overheating the hou.se. C’hicks exercise 
in the cooh'r atmosphere of the room; they run under the 
hover for warmth. No smothering or crowding. 
Hover and Curtain. Tlie hover is circular, 50 inches 
in diameter. Of galvanized iron, suspended from the ceil¬ 
ing. Can lx* raised out of the way for cleaning. The cur¬ 
tain extends down to the flf)or, thus prev'onting floor 
dniughts. It is held away from the hover by arms which 
allow an open si)ace at the top of the curtain for the intake 
of fresh air. This is drawn through the heater and warmed 
and|sent out under the hover to the chicks. 
No dangerous dampers in the chimney to force gases 
back and through doors to kill chicks. Special thermome¬ 
ter furnished with each brooder. Has double control regu¬ 
lator. The brooder comes completely eiiuipped ready to 
set ui). Price $14.50. 
Hot Water 
Simple in construction and as safe to operate as a kitchen 
stove. Heated by a coil of pipe giving an even flow of moist 
heat of the proper humidity and temperature for growing 
chicks. 
Burns hard or soft coal, the cheapest fuel obtainable. 
Can be had with a gas burner fitted if desired. In the 
Blue Hen, mechanical excellence and scientific principles 
combine. The .heat is carried to the extreme outer edge 
of the hover because the coil of pipes completely encircle 
it. 500 or 1000 chicks can be handled as easily with this 
brooder as a single hundred in the old way. 
You can fill the coal magazine, read the temperature, re¬ 
move the ashes, examine the chicks—all without disturl)- 
ing the chicks in the slightest. 
Heater is made of heavy cast iron. Gases can’t leak 
and kill the chicks. Magazine holds enough coal for from 
one to three days, depending on the weatlier. C'oal feeds 
down as consum(?d. Large grate and fire pot. Ash Pit 
Door is hinged at the top and cannot accidentally come 
open and allow coals to drop out. 
Automatic Heat Control. Simple, positive. De¬ 
flector made of the best grade of galvanized iron. Cannot 
sag or warp. Supported at center and edges. Lined with 
a heavy asbestos blanket which prevents loss of heat. 
Pipe Coil. One continuous piece of heavy iron pipe, 
electrically welded. No joints to leak. Gives a continuous 
unobstructed circulation of water.

MAND V LEE INDOOR. This has long been recognized as the 
ideal hover, but the problem of heatiiig the hover evenly from 
end to end has Ix'cn the sticking i>oint until we invented our 
triple pipe heating system, which has proved a perfect solution. 
The idea is apjdying a soft, contact heat direct to the backs 
of the clucks. The Mandy Lee Brooder is only 100-chick 
size, 3x4 ft. It will hold more, but it doesn’t pav to crowd. 
Price $13.00.

INTERNATIONAL SANITARY HOVER. The Sanitary Hover has 
come to be known as the “Perfect Brooding Device.” In less than 
four years mor(? than 40.000 Sanitary Hovers have been sold. Tlio 
Sanitary Hover is warmest at the curtain, which causes the chicks to 
distribute themselves around the edge of the curtain, where they have 
])lcnty of room and fresh air as well as warmth. Tliere is no crowding 
of the <‘hieks to the center, with deatli to the weaker numibers. It is 
portalde—that is, it can be picked up and carried around with ease 
and used anywhere. The lamp holder can be lifted out through the 
top l)y a person standing up, which makes it unnecessary for the opera¬ 
tor to go down on his knees in dust or mud to tend his lamp. It is 
metal throughout and is, therefore, vcrmiii-proof, as well as fire-proof. 
The peep-hole is so i)laeed that the operator can sec his lamp flame 
without even stooping. The flame cannot be put out by au ordinary 
wind or rain;
