NATURE DOES THE WORK Instead of expensive equipment designed to move end mix air, nature does the work. A nz.tural convection current Is maintained within the barn as warm air generated by livestock rises and exits a ceiling ridge vent. Cool fresh air enters a se- ries of side doors to replace staler existing air. No 1ans, no noise, no unnecessary expense — just warm air risng and fresh air naturally taking its place. POULTRY B. BETTER ENVIRONMENT As warm air rises it expands enabling it to pick up moisture and bacteria before leaving the barn. Staler alr is replaced, not mixed, creating an atmosphere that is fresher and dryer. Thl environment produces some healthy results. 1. One to two weeks better growth rate is being experienced In naturally ventilated hog finishing facilities over the av- erage fan system. 2. Head and lung examinations at the slaughter house reveal a marked reduction In swine respiratory problems. 3. Improved feed efficiency. Let us show you the leading natural ventilation system on the market today. HYDE PARK FARM SUPPLY INC. 141211 Hyde Park Ontario 519-471-6870 36 THE RURAL VOICE
