CHICK FOODS 



For the first day or two little 

 chicks require but little food; brooder 

 chicks particularly should not be fed 

 for 36 to 48 hours after hatching, 

 as their bowels are not perfectly 

 formed, and, if overfed, dysentery or 

 stoppage of the bowels ensues, and 

 both are fatal. The first food should 

 be Chick Hanna and a little grit. 

 Feed this for a week or ten days, and 

 then begin with our "Vigor" Chick 

 Food, and they will grow and feather 

 "like a green bay tree." For the 

 first week feed five times a day ; 

 second week, four times a day ; and 



three times a day will do. Never feed what they will eat without moving out of their tracks ; 



make them scratch for what they eat, and keep them hungry enough so that they will enjoy 



. Give them water only after feeding them.

A Health Food for Little Chicks 



Chick Wanna is a health food for little chicks, and with it you can raise every chick hatched. 

 It promotes Health, Quick Growth, and Strong Development. Especially valuable for raising 

 chicks in winter and early spring. Chick Manna should be the first food, and exclusively fed for ten days 

 or more, after which time other food may be given, but should contain a portion of Manna for at least a 

 few days longer. In feeding Chick flanna to chicks that have been fed on other feed, let Chick Manna 

 be a part only of the feed for the first day.

 packages to case. 15-lb. package, |i.io ; 5 packages to case ; 60-lb. case (bulk), J54.20.

A Complete Food for Young Chicks 



Cyphers Chick Food is a mixture of eleven (11) different grains 

 and seeds, proportioned so as to meet all the needs of growing chicks, and 

 to fully nourish them. By the term " fully nourished " we mean a great 

 deal. Chick foods, as a rule, contain too much fat-forming, and not enough 

 bone-forming elements ; and, in consequence, the chick develops indiges- 

 tion and diarrhoea — which ultimately means no digestion at all — and 

 quickly starves to death. Or, if partially nourished, leg weakness develops, 

 and the chick drags out a miserable existence for a greater or lesser length 

 of time. If you feed Cyphers Chick Food, you are relieved of all con- 

 cern, as the food is a complete and properly-balanced food, ready for use. 



In compounding Cyphers Chick Food, the protein, or flesh-and 

 muscle-forming element, is maintained higher, the carbohydrate, or fat- 

 forming element, is reduced to its proper proportion, and the ash, or min- 

 eral elements are in sufficient amount to supply the needs of the rapidly- 

 growing bird. If chicks are to be developed into breeders, no other food 

 is required for the first eight weeks. 



For the first three or four days spread the food on a board or bare 

 floor four or five times a day. As soon as the chick begins to eat rapidly 

 and scratch for food, scatter it in chaff or cut hay several times each day 

 in sufficient amount to keep the chicks continually working. It should 

 not be fed in any other manner. A dish of fresh water is kept before them 



at all times. About the fifth v/eek a dish of High Protein Beef S(?rap is put before them, and is replen- 

 ished as fast as eaten. Continue feeding chick food until the eighth or ninth week. The chickens are 

 then placed in colony houses on grass runs, and given a dish of cracked corn and one of beef scrap. 

 Before the chickens are let out in the morning, a mash composed of Cyphers Forcing Food is fed. This 

 is the only food they get through the day, except the cracked corn and beef scrap. A dish of fresh water 

 is kept before them. On the above ration they make a quick, strong growth and mature early. 



For broilers or roasters, the chick food and beef scrap are supplemented by adding Cyphers Forcing 

 Food to the diet after the third or fourth week. 



Put up only in sealed bags, bearing manufacturer's trade mark.
