WON'T YOUR HENSSET 



Don't worry about the chicks. Get the Model Incubator 

 manufactured by Chas. A. Cyphers — it will hatch them. 



And after the chicks arrive feed them right— it 's just as essential 

 as preventing their getting chilled. Chick Milium induces quick, healthy 

 growth. Follow with Vigor Chick Food. You'll have a big, profitable 

 flock if you do.
