Show HATCHING OF 0 HICKENS CHICKENS german incubator and brooder finding much favor heat produced by electric current Is made to regulate itself to fraction of degree chicks are kept comfortable an electric incubator and brooder which Is finding much favor lit in germany Is described in tho the publication of the berliner with this incubator it is in possible to approach very closely the results of natural incubation and thus reach a very favorable result 80 per cent in the hatching of chickens ram artificially incubated eggs the heat produced by an electric current Is made in this appa apparatus rutus to regulate itself to a traction of a degree in this way a practically uniform hatching temperature la is maintained which Is seldom reached by other artificial methods this incubator requires no attention beyond the dally daily turning and airing of the eggs As a consequence of the automatic automa tid heat regulation by the shutting oft oc of the current when tho the desired temperature Is attained the consumption of electricity Is reduced to a minimum and since brooder and incubator built to make the tha most economical use of heat the energy Is calculated according to power and 1 eating charges the expense Is very small the brooder like the incubator Is built on the principle of making tho the most economical use of the heat of the current thereby keeping down d own the cost of operation in combination with an electric lamp the brooder keeps the chickens comfortable and warm and consequently a very large per cent of those hatched can be reared whether tn in winter or spring |
