NOIbS
Merry Christmas TO all Citizen
readers.
Have you all the apples the chill
dren can eat today?
Will you have apples for them TO
eat on Lincoln's birthday and on
Washington's birthday Rats
w. A. Hammond Of Clear Greek is
planning TO set about 1000 apple and
peach trees in the spring. Rockcas-
tie county will be one Of the fruit
centers OF Kentucky ten years from
now.
n your orchard Is not bearing
well and the trees are not healthy,
break up the ground this winter so
the freezing will kill the insects
that are injuring the trees.
Plow your orchard now, let the
old turf rot till April then disk or
harrow up the ground thoroly every
week or two till the last week in
May. then sow cowpeas. Hog these
of or cut them for hay late in Au-
gust and sow rye in September.
Your orchard will surprise you.
But no doubt your orchard needs
pruning. Here are five rules for
pruning: ist, Cut out all dead wood.
2Dd, Cut out all water sprouts. Sd,
Don't leave any stubs; that is, cut Of
the twigs and limbs close up so they
can heal over. ith, Save the fruit
spurs, the little stubby branches O
few inches long that bear apples
year after year. 9Th, Open up the
top so that the light and air can get
thru the tree freely. In doing this,
cut out all limbs that cross and rub
against others. having in mind all
the time a well-shaped tree not too
high when you have finished.
The best time to prune the or
chard is in late February and
March. We will have a series OF
articles on pruning during Febru-
airy, and others on spraying in
March. But il will do little good TO
prune and spray as long as the or
chard is left year after year in sod
or weeds and other filth, so pillow up
your orchard now.
Did you have pumpkin pie
Thanksgiving and have you some Ia
eat today? Only now and then
find a farmer who realizes the value
of pumpkins and squashes. have
seen pumpkins So thick in a corn
field that a nimble boy could cross
the field jumping from one pumpkin
To another and these pumpkins were
grown in addition TO IL barrels OF
corn per acre.
When the hogs have finished ny
the cowpea pasture your pumpkins
are ready for use, and after gather
ing in the best ones for the family
the rest are valuable TO supplement,
corn in fattening the hogs. Wher
pastures are short they are excel
lent for the milk cows.
II your hens are not laying, toll
them out to the rye field for greer
stun. Get them some wheat anC
cane seed. Corn alone is not gooC

AGRICULTURAL COURSE AT BE-
REA COLLEGE

What are the young men and boys
going 10 do this winter on the
farm? One young man from at
least every tenth home should be
spared this winter TO come To Berea
for the twelve weeks course in agri-
culture Any bright young man can
thus secure an insight into better
farming and stock raising that will
enable him TO increase the produce
ton OF the farm this next season
more than enough to pay the $50 to
S25 necessary expenses above pay
for regular labor assignments while
in school. Then too he is laying the
foundations for making the old
farm source Of wealth-that same
farm that for so long has barely
supported the family.
The corn class taught by Prof.
Clark will enable the young man TO
grow ~ to IS barrels Of corn where
5 TO 6 barrels have been growing,
Hand by crop rotation and use OF the
Fright fertilizers keep the soil at
this high rate Of production year
after year.
Prof. Montgomery's class in ami
NAL husbandry will give the boys
knowledge OF breeds OF animals best
adapted to your conditions and
methods OF feeding them by which
you can reap the richest possible re-
ward from your large crops and still
turn about 10 per cent Of their fer
tilizing value back to the soil again.
A class in arithmetic and keeping
farm accounts that will enable the
farmer tO keep as close track of bus
mess on the farm as the merchant or
manufactures does Of his, so that q
man may know at the end OF the year
what crops paid him and what ones
did not, what stock were profitable
and what ones ate their heads of.
A course in English is given to
teach young men and young women
TO use the language so that letters
contracts, or other writings shall be
clear,-have one plain meaning
and be correct in spelling, punctu-
alton, and grammar.
There is a great demand for lead
ers among men. A man who can
organize a public meeting, carry his
point in a debate, and is ready
speaker before an audience is pre-
pared to be a leader III his com
munity. Work will be given along
this line once a week.
The Bible class once week In
school and also the Sunday school
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. the Christian Endeavor, the
Sunday preaching and the chapel
exercises give young men and young
women moral and religious instruc-
ton and training by which they
may find the Light Of the World and
live in that light day by day.

Keen ChIeks In Yard.

The best way is to keep the chicks
In q yard that is enclosed with poultry
