HOT WATER BROODER HOUSE
HEATIHG SYSTEM IS FAVORITE
Twelve years ago Charles Keller
raised 600 Barred Rock hens and
maintained them for a number of
years. Four years ago he went into
the turkey business and now has
1500 birds. He made the chicken
houses into brooder houses, two of
which have the underground heat
ing system and the other the hot
water system. Mr. Keller plans to
change to the hot water system this
fall, due to the fact that it is more
readily regulated to conform with
the change In temperature.
Mr. Keller raised sufficient corn
on his farm to fatten the 1500 birds
and to use in the mashes to develop
the spring poults.
