HOMEMADE

EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER
have been trying to find out what
a brooder made by directions given in
one OF the bulletins by your Prof.
Emery would cost, but since / saw his
letter about-Brooders I have thought
of buying me-. Will it cost much more
than q homemade one, and what is
your advice in the matter Of choicel
And would you If purchasing one Of
the brooders get top heat or both top
and bottom9 I have q small n but
don't know enough about such matters
to make a selection, go refer the mat
ter to you and I will thank you for a
reply.
Very truly,
Columbus 90, N. O.
(Answer by Corresponding Editor EN-
cry, II. 81
Mr.. 81. Can no doubt make a brooder
after the plans given in the bulletin,
and il handy with tools need not go TO
much expense. Expense will be for
the lumber, nails, lamp. and bot water
tank, which can be made at the nearest
tinsmith's. 1t is possible to make this
brooder at half the expense for q S.
brooder and freight on same.
But those who are inexperienced in
the use OF tools, OF whose time lie valu
able. had better buy q good brooder
outright than spend time which might
easily be worth more than the cost of
the brooder. At same price would
select go as to have use Of either top or
bottom heat. The brooder referred to
is an outd COR machine and need not
necessarily be used in a house or room.
It is complete in itself for brooding
chickens. E. e e.
