Defective Brooder Explodes, Baby Chicks Lost, March 11, 1926

Dr. A.G. Harris ordered 1,040 baby chicks recently. He had lost 200 by death and on March 11 a brooder exploded, it is thought, and burned up the rest and destroyed the brooder house.

He had a loss of not less than $350. We understand they (Dr. and Mrs. Harris) plan to rebuild and replace them. We hope those planning to enter poultry work will not get discouraged as this was the fault of a defective brooder.
