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:

Cypher’s Unequaled |

Apartment Brooders

FURNISH A SAFE HOME FOR THE LARGE, STRONG AND VIGOROUS CHICKS
HATCHED IN CYPHERS INCUBATORS, INSURING RAPID GROWTH,
CONSTANT HEALTH, FINE FORM AND LUSTROUS PLUM-
AGE.—THESE BROODERS ARE CERTAINTY, SAFE-

TY AND SECURITY COMBINED.

The Cyphers Style A Brooder furnishes
a out-door home -for little chicks that is
as near weather-proof and neglect proof us
can be bought and sold at a popular price.
We have manufactured these brooders dur-
ing the past nine years and tue best proof
of their merit is that tens of thousands
have been sold and are giving the best of ©

satisfaction.

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-

sions. | i P
