. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). 326 Bulletin 277. sheet of tin is nailed to the rear wall of the house to hold the outlet pipe in place. P is the vent pipe with a T on the end. Q is a guard to keep the hover from resting down upon the radiator; R is the gaso- line tank; 5 the filler plug; T the filler cap; and U is the gasoline outlet pipe fastened with a nut on each side of the tin. Galvanized iron is the material used, except the tin in the diaphragm L, the perforated tin for chick guard H, the Dangler burner B, and pipe C. Six and one-half feet of |" gas pipe, with elbows and couplings, are needed to make the connections between the gasoline tank, R, and the pipe C. This length of pipe is also provided with a globe valve as illustrated in Fig. 95. Note.—The gasoline brooding system which is here described and shown, is covered by no existing patent as far as we know. Any person or manufacturer is free, so far as we are concerned, to use these plans, but must assume all risk of litigation because of alleged infringements. This system of brooding by the use of gasoline-heated colony houses is given free to the public, with the request that credit shall be given by manufacturers by placing the following statement on all heaters which they make: Gasoline Heater, as Designed and Used by the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. OPERATION OF THE GASOLINE BROODER The brooder is run for the first week or ten days so that the thermo- meter, located as mentioned above, gives a reading of 90 degrees F. At the same time, the thermometers placed under other parts of the hover would show a range of temperature from 90 degrees to 103 degrees F., making it possible for the chicks to get almost any degree of temperature fro
