The Root Incubator is Now Ready for You. NO DOUBT, many poultrymen who have used our brooders and found them so successful, and others who have noticed our advertisements, have often wondered why we did not offer an incubator. To these and to other poultrymen we wish to make the above an nouncement. Mr. Root, the inventor of the contactwarmth incubators and brooders, realized many years ago that the hot-air conditions under which eggs were hatched and chicks reared were unnatural; and to avoid these unnatural conditions he came to the conclusion that it would be necessary to hatch eggs and rear chicks by warming them by contact with a warm body. With this method it is possible to hatch eggs without adding moisture, because the air that gets to the eggs has not been burnt or baked in passing through heating-drums, etc. The Root Incubator will hatch duck-eggs as well as chicken-eggs under the same conditions, without adding moisture or changing the ventilation. This is proof that it is built on the right principle, because a hen will hatch duck-eggs quite as well as her own. We have prepared a pamphlet under the heading of "Artificial Incubation and Brooding," which every poultry man should read, as it dwells upon some phases of this art never before dwelt upon. We will send a copy of this article free to any one sending us his name and address, and mentioning GLEANINGS.
