The pigeon is strictly homogeneous,
selecting a mate and displaying a
marital constancy that might well be
emulated by featherless and presum-

down to Matching. The period of in

IT'S FOOD
That Restores and Makes Health
Possible.

There are stomach specialists as
lists.
One of these told young lady, OF
New Brunswick, N. j., to quit medi-
cnes and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
For about IL months l suffered Sc
verely with gastritis. l was unable
to retain much of anything on my
stomach, and consequently was com.
PEELED to give up my occupation.
Il took quantities OF medicine. and
had an idea l was dieting. but l con-
tinued to suffer, and soon lost Is
pounds in weight l was depressed
in spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af-
fected that 1t was impossible to be-
come interested In even the lightest
reading matter.
After suffering for months l de-
cided to go to a stomach specialist.
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve Immediately.
1t was the keynote of new life.
Il found that / had been eating too
much starchy food which / did not d.
gest, and that the cereals which l had
tried had been too heavy. l soon
proved that it is not the quantity Of
food that one eats. but the quality.
In few weeks l was able to go
back to my old business of doing cler-
ical work. / have continued to eat
Grape-Nuts for both the morning and
evening meal. 1 wake in the morning
with a clear mind and feel rested. l
regained my lost weight In a short
time. i am well and happy again and
owe it to Grape-Nuts." Name given

Again, we always expect to finish
our farm animals on grain of some
kind, and does 1t really matter SO
much If our turkeys finish themselves
on our grain before we have been put

The only trouble with this roaming
habit is when one Is near anothers
fields, and turkeys forever seem to de-
light in staying across the road on
other land than their owners. In
such case, If the neighbor cannot be
induced to keep about as many tur-

to those who are more isolated, or to
plan some way to shut them up at
such times as the neighboring grain
is most exposed. Happy is the turkey
grower whose farm is so located that
his large flock of turkeys will not get
beyond his home acres.
When it comes to growing turkeys,
volumes have been written, and will
continue to be written, upon how to
handle them, but we have found that
after once well Matched and started
out, the less handling" the better.
We shall have more to say about this
part of the business later, and would
like to hear from as many Of those
who have succeeded with turkeys as
can find time to write to us.

grow culls and mongrels. Five to ten

birds, but 80 to 40-pound birds are not
uncommon nowadays.
