Seely & Sons have used many differ-ent makes of incubators, but none have giventhem the general satisfaction that does the Cyph-ers. They show a large and growing plant, andstand at the head of the Western duck breeders,and we are verj- glad to class them among ourcustomers. We have great faith in the MiddleWest as a poultry-producing section, and believethat the Western breeders will outnumber theEastern at no distant SEELY & SONS. 98 THE CYPHERS INCUBATOR COMPANY THREE REPORTS FROM FISHERS ISLAND FARM.
