Fic. 81.—A syiiiposiiiiii of some of the heaters zchich zi'cre made at Cornell Uni- versiiy and discarded in an effort to invent one ivhich zvotild be safe, of reason- able cost, durable, economical of fuel and zvhich would sufyply a large amount of heat. Some of the difficulties encountered, were, first—to provide a fire proof burner box that zvould furnish sufficient fresh air to the burner and at the same time zvould not be affected by heavy zvinds. Second to secure a continued sup- ply of pure, moderately warm but not. super-heated air under the hover frov outside the house. Third—to hold the hot air within the heater drum long enough to supply radiated heat from above dozen upon the chickens. 4. Never ignite the burner while there is gasoline or gasoline vapor free inside the burner box. If gasoline has escaped, wipe out the burner box thoroughly and allow a little time to elapse before igniting in order.
