FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician down In
Georgia went through a food expert
enc which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;
and I also know from having pre-
scribed it to conyalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a won
derful rebuilder and ~restorer Of nerve
M brain tissue, as well as muscle. It
improves the digestion and patients
gain, just as I did in strength and
weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
had to give up my work entirely and
60 to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact /
was not quite as we'll as when | left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that l must
change.
I began to use Grape-Nuts and In
two weeks l could walk a mile, and in
live weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time / have felt as well and
strong as l ever did in my life.
AS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers / consider It a duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.

CONTROL OF CHICKEN MITES
Unsatisfactory Growth in Summer May
Be Caused by Vermin-Destruc-
tive Work at Night.


When well fed and otherwise prop
erly managed, chickens do not always
make satisfactory growth in summer.
There is a cause for this which may
be wholly unsupported. It is likely to
be due to the presence of chicken
mites.
This pest is a blood-sucking para
site. It harbors under the perches, in
cracks, and in other places. Its de-
structive work is done at night. When
the chickens are at roost the mites
crawl from their hiding places on to
the birds. They gorge themselves with
blood much the same as mosquito
does, and then crawl back to their hid
ing places.
If this pest is not discovered it
multiplies into millions in few weeks
of hot weather.
If the mites become numerous, they
will suck more blood from chicken
in single night than the chicken can
produce the next day from the diges-
ton and assimilation of the most nour-
fishing food. And since the blood car
ries the assimilated food for the

The following were among the re-
plies received by the United States
Department of Agriculture to the
question, ''What is your method of
feeding and preparing geese for mar
ket:
Vincent M. Couch, Moravia, N. z:
70 fatten goslings, conf1ne, and after
five to six weeks make cornmeal the
principal feed; add some beef scraps,
and allow them to have some grass.
Of the large breeds, they should weigh
from 10 to 20 pounds at ten weeks old !;
and market at this age. Reserve the
smaller breeds until holidays.
f. D. Fowler, Carlinville, H.:
Market geese are kept closely confined
and fed three times day by measure:
Bran 2 parts, shorts part, oilmeal
and beef scraps 1 part, cornmeal
part, dampened with water so it
will crumble. Whole corn is some
times given. Green food, grit, and wa
ter are always before them.
B. f. Hislop, Milford, ILL.,: TO pre-
pare for market, as soon as weather
becomes cool, confne in small lots.
Commence to feed gradually mash

with milk if convenient, otherwise wa
ter, giving enough forage or vegetables

to keep in health, increasing grain I'M
til they have all they will eat, twice
day, never forgetting plenty of wa
ter and a box of grit. BY the time the
goose market is on, say from Thanks
giving to New Years, the birds will be
in prime condition and bring top mar
ket price. To dress them, kill same as
other poultry. Commence to pick the
coarser feathers and most of the down
off as soon as the fatal stab to brain
is given and bleeding commences.
Then sprinkle and rub well with pow
dered rosin, scald and rub down off
quickly, plunge body in hot water then
cold, wipe, and hang up or lay on table
to cool before packing.
Mrs. M. Swartsley, Columbus, Neb. !:
To give size and flesh, I feed half corn
meal, one-fourth ground oats, the bal
ance barley meal and wheat middlings,
all mixed together with scalding water
or milk, and feed as much as they
will eat four or five times daily, at
all times providing plenty Of water.
M. B. Caldwell, Broughton, Kan. !:
AS soon as our goslings are grown up
we turn them in the hog pasture-ten
acres of alfalfa-and they feed on all
falfa and eat after the hogs, and get
very fat and heavy.

body, there can be little or no growth
so long as such a condition continues.
The time and the labor of the poul-
tryman, as well as the feed consumed,
are thus practically wasted in the pres
ence of chicken mites.
During the summer every precau-
ton should be taken to keep the pens
and roosting places free from mites.
This is not a difficult matter. The
mite is a very small parasite, bare
~ perceptible with the unaided eve.
When not gorged with chicken blood
it is light-colored. 1t becomes red
when it has gorged itself with chicken
blood. For this reason it is sometimes
called the, 'red" mite. But this pest
is so delicately constructed that it can
be easily destroyed by spraying with
kerosene or whitewash.
