BROODERS raise" chicks 
MANDY LEE INDOOR. The correct brooding principle 
is direct contact heat as provided by the long, narrow 
hover of the Mandy Lee Brooder. This has long 
been recognized as the ideal hover, but the problem of 
heating the hover evenly from end to end has been the 
sticking point until we invented our triple pipe heating 
system, which has proved a perfect solution. The idea of 
applying a soft, contact heat direct to the backs of the 
chicks was never incorporated into anything practical 
until the manufacture of the Mandy Lee. The Mandy 
Lee Brooder is, of outside dimensions, 3x4 feet in size. 
It is as large as any 200-chick brooder on the market, 
but we call it only 100-chick size. It will hold more 
but it doesn’t pay 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 more than 40,000 
Sanitary Hovers have been sold. The Sanitary Hover is 
warmest at the curtain, which causes the chicks to dis¬ 
tribute 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. This makes unnecessary the building of an 
expensive brooder house. It is entirely circular and has 
no corners for chicks to crowd into. The lamp holder 
can be lifted out through the top by a person standing 
up, which makes it unnecessary 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. Unlike the wooden hover, it will not 
absorb dirt and hold it. It cannot be burned nor broken 
and cannot warp and fall apart. 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 tain, there being no connection between 
the lamp chimney and the flues for taking in fresh air and 
discharging gases. Lamp can be removed in an instant 
without any disturbance of the chicks. Price $8.50. 
Mandy Lee Fireless 
MANDY LEE FIRELESS. The Mandy Lee Fireless 
Brooders are made in two sizes, 100-chick and 200-chick 
sizes. This capacity rating means that the brooder will 
hold that number of newly hatched chicks, but it must 
always be remembered when using fireless brooders that 
the number of chicks that can be put in the brooder 
depends on the size of the chicks and the outside tem¬ 
perature. The Adjustable Hover on the Mandy Lee 
Fireless Brooder enables the handling of this tempera¬ 
ture adjustment conveniently. Price: 100-chick size, 
$5.00, 200-chick size $8.00. 
THE SECONDARY BROODER. This is a larger, more 
roomy and less expensive brooder for older chicks, or 
those from three to eight weeks of age. It is all hover 
and, while occupying no more floor space than the other 
brooder, gives fully twice the actual brooding capacity. 
It is simply a mother for the chicks that arc too large for 
the ordinary brooder but not old enough to hustle for 
themselves during the damp weather or cool nights. 
It can be used anywhere—in a poultry house, barn, shed, 
piano-box—just so it is protected from wind and storm. 
Price $8.00. 
The only really 
SIXTY-CHICK HEATED. Accommodates nicely more 
than 60 chicks. Lamp, heater, hover construction, 
cloth and metal parts, and width exactly the same as 
our “ Regular ” brooder. Length of hover 30 inches; 
openings in swinging door covered with GO-mesh brass- 
wire cloth, and, when lowered, either folds directly 
against hover opening or rests on flanged front of run¬ 
way, making a rat- and cat-proof exercising space for 
the chicks. This Brooder is just the thing to go with a 
60-egg or 75-egg Incubator. For larger machines we 
recommend the “ Regular ” Mandy Lee and the Second¬ 
ary Brooder. Price $6.00.
