They Hover at the Curtain 
International Sanitary 
Hover 
The Sanitary Hover has come to be known as the “Perfect 
Brooding Device.” In less than four years more than 40,000 
Sanitary Hovers have been sold. The Sanitary Hover is warmest 
at the curtain, which causes the chicks to distribute themselves 
around the edge of the curtain, where they have plenty of room 
and fresh air as well as warmth. There is no crowding of the 
chicks to the center, with death to the weaker members. It is 
portable—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 by a person standing up, which makes it un¬ 
necessary for the operator to go down on his knees in dust or 
mud to tend his lamp. It'is metal throughout, and is, therefore, 
vermin-proof, as well as fire-proof. The peep-hole is so placed 
that the operator can see his lamp flame without even stooping. 
The flame cannot be put out by an ordinary wind or rain, there 
being no connection between the lamp chimney and the flues 
for taking in fresh air and discharging gases. Price S18.00. 
That’s why the chicks never crowd. The reflected 
radiation from the lamp—together with the direct 
radiation from the canopy overhead—produces those 
same ideal conditions that we find in the “Standard” 
coal burner. The chicks hover in circles—around the 
outside edges—and each individual chick selects the 
spot that is best suited to its comfort. Being warmest 
at the curtain there is no incentive for the chicks to 
seek the center, and, consequently, there is no in¬ 
clination to “crowd” or “pile.”

chick size, $21.50. 
“BUCKEYE” 
PORTABLE BROODER 
Our Baby Chick Department 
Each year we sell thousands of baby chickens and experience has taught us that comparison of prices should 
be a deciding factor when purchasing baby chickens. Weak, poorly hatched chicks are costly at any price. 
Prom year to year we have used the greatest care in selecting our 
breeders and we have already contracted with the best known pro¬ 
ducers of all breeds for thousands of each variety for the season of 1921. 
Do not give baby chickens cold water to drink; don’t overfeed. 
Either will start bowel troubles. Keep their backs warm and fowl 
liberally so long as they keep active. We find the Conkey Butter¬ 
milk Starting Food one of the best feeds for young chicks, fed for 
the first three weeks, then used with our Quality Chick Scratch 
Feed, and makes sure of the best results. 
We ship all chicks and eggs in a first-class condition and take a 
receipt for the same. Owing to transportation conditions we cannot 
guarantee a special time of delivery. Do not sign a receipt for dam- 
, . aged goods unless receipt is so marked by Agent of Express Company. 
Chickens ready for shipment Otherwise no claims for damages allowed.
