The Keliable Gas Brooder 
Constructed o f the best quality galvanized copper bearing iron, 
reinforced around the edge with heavy wire. The Reliable Brooders 
are equipped with baffle plate below the burner, which eliminates the 
fire h azard, and permits hanging the brooder closer to the floor, 
throwing the heat further out and over the backs of chicks. This 
new safety feature means a great saving in fuel and insures a more 
uniform heat for the chicks. The brooder is 
also equipped with susiiension brackets which 
permit the easy removal of the burner for 
cleaning. 
New type burners with hot point flame fur¬ 
nish ample heat. This type insures perfect com¬ 
bustion before the flame comes in contact with 
the steel plate. The separate pilot light burns , . . , 
constantly with a clear blue flame, and is not easily extinguished. 
During the heat of the day the thermostat shuts off the main burner, 
and when temperature lowers, the gas starts flowing automaticaily, 
and is ignited by the pilot. 
The Reliable Gas Thermostat is equally efficient with all kinds of 
gas. The double wafer is extremely sensitive to the slightest change. 
The valve and seat are made of brass, so shaped that they cannot 
stick and will wear indefinitely. The working parts are protected 
from damage by a metal cage.

Tested Thermometers 
The best incubator or brooder is useless unless the therrnometer used 
therein is accurate. Hundreds of hatches in incubators fail because of 
inferior thermometers. A large number of chickens are killed in brood¬ 
ers owing to defective or worthless thermometers. The thermometers 
listed herein are manufactured especially for us, and are thoroughly 
tested and seasoned before they are shipped.

P. 1. C. Poultry Litter 
Vacuum Cleaned 
Saves Time, Labor, Money 
It is a natural absorbent, capable of taking up and holding four or 
five times as much moisture as straw, shavings or sawdust, and there¬ 
fore acts as an insulator and humidity control. It prevents spread of 
disease not only because it keeps the house dry and clean, but because 
it is sanitary—free from bacterial and parasitic life. It absorbs offen¬ 
sive odors and helps keep down the ammonia fumes in the droppings. 
It is harmless to birds if eaten by them. It provides a resilient cushion 
over the floor so that birds will not develop bumble foot. 
It reduces fire hazard. It requires no bi’eaking up, is easy to spread, 
and may be left in the poultry house for several months. Peat Moss is 
one of the best humus or mulch products known to horticulture, and 
with addition of poultry droppings it becomes a fertilizer of the finest 
type. Per bale of 11 bushels, $1.75 each; per bale of 22 bushels, $2.85 
each. Ask for prices on larger lots.
