Show UNIFORM HEAT FOR HATCHING Temperature In Electric Incubator Is Automatically Controlled, Thu Insuring Success. Chickens are now hatched In electric elec-tric Incubators. Electricity has demonstrated dem-onstrated its superiority over all other oth-er means of heating the Incubator. A new electric Incubator which has proven highly successful has Its outer walls of galvanized steel, covering a cork board two inched thick. This combination of cork and steel makes H Ml Electric Incubator. a very efficient heat-Insulating wall, as well as one of sufficient strength and durability. The illustration shows a regular 70-egg 70-egg size and is typical of all stock sizes. The door opens downward and is fitted with a double glass panel with air space between. The door Jamb is felt cushioned to prevent Jar and air leakage. The ventilating is secured se-cured through small holes, so that the air comes in through slits In the cork floor. This allows a slow interchange of gases from outside in the right amount not to lower the degree of carbonic acid gas necessary to good incubation, or to evaporate the moisture moist-ure In . the egg too rapidly. This amount of air is regulated to a larger amount after the chick has hatched. Provision is made to turn the eggs J I Interior View. easily by means of a spare tray, the airing of the eggs is also well arranged ar-ranged for. " A hydrometer registers the humidity humid-ity Inside the Incubator, thus Indicating Indicat-ing the proper evaporation needed. The heating element Is fastened to the roof and regulates the temperature tempera-ture In all parts of the machine to an even heat. |
