Cyphers Laying* Food 



Cyphers Laying Food is the result of much study to produce a 

 balanced ration, and is a highly nutritious and palatable food. It is a blend- 

 ing of several different food materials in such proportions as to best fur- 

 nish the elements necessary to fully nourish the body and promote egg 

 production. It is to be mixed with warm water, and daily — night or 

 morning — is eaten by the fowls with relish. 



A feed of mixed hard grains, such as Cyphers Scratching Food, 

 should be scattered in litter on the floor of the pen to promote exercise, 

 and a dish of cracked oyster shells and grit should be kept in the pens. 

 This food induces the production of eggs, and will nourish and develop 

 the embryos into strong, robust chicks. 



Cyphers Laying Food is the best and only successfully-balanced 

 ration from which tb make the morning mash, whether for chickens, 

 pullets, hens, cockerels, capons, ducks, turkeys, or geese. It is made from 

 the best-selected grains, and contains no oat hulls or gluten meal, which 

 analysis shows to be the base of three-quarters of the prepared poultry 

 foods on the market. The manufacturers of this food make no cereal 

 foods, and consequently have no bi-products, as is the case with most 

 manufacturers who offer poultry foods. It is especially valuable as a food 

 for breeding ducks. 



This food is put up in sealed bags bearing manufacturer's trade mark. 



Price, 50 pounds, $1.15 ; 100 pounds, |2.oo. 



Cyphers Forcing Food 



Where very rapid growth is required, as in growing broilers or roasters, a highly-concentrated food 

 can be fed, and for this work we offer Cyphers Forcing Food. This should be fed according to the 

 results desired. That is, if a broiler is required, the chick should be fed up to the limit, so as to make 

 the growth in the shortest possible time. If a roaster is wanted, it should not be forced so rapidly, as it 

 has longer to live, its digestive organs have more work to do, and, therefore, they should not be taxed 

 to the uttermost in the earlier stages. Price, 50 pounds, lr.25 ; 100 pounds, J2.25. 



Cyphers Scratching Food 



In combining grains to be used as an exercise food and to be scattered 

 in the pens to make the hens work for what they get, it will not do to 

 make up a random assortment of any available material. 



As the Scratching Food is not supposed to be scattered before half- 

 famished birds that will gladly eat most anything, it must be composed of 

 material that will be considered with special favor by the hens, something, 

 in fact, that their system craves. There must be a strong inducement for 

 a well-fed hen to work for every morsel of this food, and at the same time 

 it must be composed of such material as will not defeat the purposes of the 

 balanced foods they get in their regular ration. In this Scratching Food 

 we have exactly filled these requirements. A little of this food scattered 

 in the litter will quickly start the dust flying, which means healthy fowls,, 

 full of vigor and vitality, and a full egg basket of hatchable eggs. 



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



Price, 50 pounds, fi.io ; 100 pounds, $2.00.

MIDLAND GRENADIER MEAL 

 A Forcing Food for Broiler? 



The advantage of a cramming machine over the 

 trough for fattening a chicken is that the bird can 

 digest and assimilate much more feed than it will 

 consume if left to its own inclinations. Itis vitall}^ 

 essential that the food furnished in this way be 

 scientifically prepared for this specific purpose, and 

 the Midland Grenadier Meal is guaranteed to be 

 just what is needed, and, if fed as directed, will 

 open the eyes of those unaccustomed to this work. 



Price, 5c. a pound ; per 25 pounds, 90c.; per 50 

 pounds, $1.75 ;. per 100 pounds, $3.00.
