Siegel’s Excelsior Chick Food
A Complete, Scientifically-Compounded Food for Young Chicks.
Siegel’s Excelsior Chick Food is a mixture of 17 different grains and seeds, pro- portioned correctly so as to meet all the needs of growing chicks and to fully nour- ish them, and no other food should be fed for the first eight weeks. It should be fed dry. By the term, “fully nourished,’ we mean a- great deal. Most feeding stuffs contain too much fat-forming and not enough flesh-and-muscle forming elements; in consequence, the chick develops indigestion and diarrhoea, which ultimately means no digestion at all, and the chick soon starves to death. Or, if partially nourished, leg weakness develops and the chick drags out a miserable existence. In compound- ing Excelsior Chick Food, the protein or flesh-and-muscle-forming element is main- tained high, the carbohydrate heat producing and the fat-forming elements are re- duced to their proper proportion, and the ash or mineral elements are in sufficient amount to supply the needs of the rapidly growing bird. Price, 5 lb. bag, 20ce; 10 lb.. bag, 30c; 50 lb. bag, $1.25; 100 lb. bag, $2.00.

We Sell the Genuine Cyphers Incubators
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A GENUINE PATENT DIAPHRAGM, NON -MOISTURE, SELF-VENTILATING AND SELF-REGULATING STANDARD CYPHERS INCUBATOR.—LATEST PATTERN.
Artificial Incubation.—Years of ex- perience have demonstrated the many advantages of artificial incubating and brooding over the old method,—the hen. The experimental stage has been passed, and the poultryman of to-day has but to decide which make of ma- chine to buy—the one that will hatch the largest number of strong, vigorous and healthy chicks from a given num- ber of fertile eggs, and with the least amount of expense and labor; also the brooder best equipped for taking care of the new life as soon as it is ready to leave the incubator.
The best possible test of an incubator is the work it actually does in the hands of the average operator. Tens of thousands of Cyphers Incubators have been sold since they were placed on the market, and their merit is attested in the following:
Warrant of Superiority:—Every genuine patented Standard Cyphers Incubator, latest pattern, is positively guaranteed as follows:
FIRST :—To require no supplied moisture under normal conditions, thus solving and disposing of the troublesome “moisture question.” ;
SECOND:—To be _ self-ventilating, the air in the egg chamber remaining pure at all times by its own gentle but positive action.
THIRD:—To be self-regulating, being equipped with the most sensitive and dur- able regulator thus far invented.
FOURTH:—To be so constructed that the temperature in the egg chamber is more equable than in any other incubator.
FIFTH:—tTo be precisely as represented in construction, materials and work- mansnip, and, if given reasonable care, to last ten years without repairs.
SIXTH:—To be easy to set up and positively automatic in operation (except as to trimming the wick, filling the lamp, and turning the eggs), and to operate with less labor and expense than any other make of incubator.
SEVENTH:—To be in all essentials the easiest and simplest to operate and con- trol, requiring less attention than any other make or style of ineubator in the world.
EIGHTH:—To produce larger, stronger and healthier chicks and ducklings than any other style or make of incubator.
NINTH:—That when it is run in competition with any incubator of a different make, it shall in three or more hatches, bring out a larger average percentage of the fertile eggs in good, healthy chicks and ducklings than does its competitor.
TENTH:—That each and every Standard Cyphers Incubator we send out will do satisfactory work in the hands of the purchaser, provided he will give it a fair trial, or it can be returned to us within ninety days, in good repair, less reasonable wear, and the purchase price will be refunded.
The World’s Standard Hatcher
The genuine Standard Cyphers Incubators are not an experiment. They have been before the public ten years, and have received the benefit of ten years im- provements. Their fame has grown until ney. are now acknowledged to be the “World’s Standard Hatchers.”
The latest pattern Standard Cyphers Incubator represents the highest degree cf excellence yet achieved in incubators, both in principle and mechanical construction. It overcomes practically every defect, every inconvenience, and every objection urged to artificial incubation as performed by machines of other types. It not only is more convenient to operate; it not only consumes less oil; it not only is safer; it not only hatches a larger percentage of the eggs entrusted to it, but it produces larger, strong- er, healthier and more vigorous chicks and ducklings than any incubator ever built. This is our guaranty to the poultry fraternity.
Standard Cyphers Incubators are useu on more Government Experiment Farms, on more successful, large, commercial poultry plants, and by more successful fan- ciers, than all other incubators combined.
The Standard Cyphers is a hot-air incubator, and therefore does not possess a tin, galvanized iron or copper tank to rust out, spring a leak and water soak the ma- chine, thereby injuring or ruining the woodwork. The improved regulator or ther- mostat used in the latest pattern Standard Cyphers is built on original lines, and no other style of regulator has been devised that is its equal in durabiuty, exactness or reliability.
All sizes of the latest pattern Standard Cyphers Incubators are equipped with a “drop bottom” for supplying ventilation when the incubator is operated during the warm months of May, June, July and August. This new and valuable feature en- ables the operator to meet all conditions of weather.
The No. 2 and No. 3 latest pattern Standard Incubators are furnished with nur- sery drawers, the drawers occupying the nursery space underneath the egg trays, and are reached through solid wooden doors located below the glass panel door that opens into the upper portion of the hatching chambers where the egg trays are sit- uated. These drawers will be found vf great convenience in removing the chicks and ducklings from our large size incubators as often it may be deemed advisable without interfering in any way with the remainder of the hatch.
Cyphers Company Incubators are the only machines manufactured that lawfully can be equipped with our patented removable diaphragms, by use of which the “dif- fusive” system of ventilation is employed, overcoming the necessity of supplying additional moisture by use of shallow pans, wet sponges or moist cloths. This achieve- ment has rendered Cyphers Incubators so simple and easy to operate and so certain in results that they have met with universal appreciation by experienced operators, while beginners succeed with them from the first trial because the machine itself solves the “moisture problem” for them; in other words, we place in their hands a practically automatic hatcher, leaving nothing to chance or inexperience.
By special arrangement with the manufacturers, we are now in a position to sell Cypers Incubators f. o. b., at exactly factory prices, as follows:

Don’t risk losses of well-hatched chicks in an inferior, wrongly-constructed brooder when you can obtain a certainty of safety in the Cyphers Brooders. Having hatched your chicks, DON’T COURT FAILURE by putting them in an unsatisfactory brooder.
We have a few $5.00 Champion Brooders left. Will keep on selling them at $5.00 long as present stock lasts. We could not purchase these Brooders to-day in car lots at prices we will sell one at. Lumber as well as all other material used in build- ing the Champion is almost double its former price; wages are also higher; so if you
want a Champion, order at once, first come, first served.
The Champion Brooder is especially constructed for[, either outdoor or indoor use. They operate outdoors sum. feed "enero mer and winter; the strongest wind cannot blow out the re i oe ¢ lamp, which is protected from the wind by small wooden (qj, Wi hoods over the ends of the radiator. Our lamp is a water Bs jacket one, which effectually prevents all danger of explo-
