During the winter it is a good
plan to apply a covering of barr
yard manure. Use about twelve
or fifteen loads to the acre. II
the manure is not available a
good high grade of fertilizer
may be used in the spring. The
first year nitrate of soda may
be used at the rate of $50 or
800 pounds per acre. After this
the nitrogen supply should be
kept up by means of leguminous
cover crops. The same amounts
of potash and rock phosphate
should be used to supply the
other elements.
If the land has been in sod
for some time it would be a
good plan to break it up now.
Plow to a depth of about four
inches. Deeper blowing may
be harmful because the roots in
sod orchard have a ten dency
to come to the surface of the
ground. If the orchard has
been cultivated the land should
be plowed early in the spring.
Cultivation should be continued
until about the first of August,
after which a leguminous cover
crop should be sown. '~Sliw
Where an orchard has been
neglected for several years the
owner cannot expect to bring it
back in one season. Under av-

orchard will respond to the
treatment indicated above.

ever possible to orchard i'm

urier-Journal of December 81,
1913, that publication will be
merged into a monthly paper, to
be called Farm and Family"
the first number of which will
appear about the middle of Jam
uary. The day of the political
weekly has passed, but there is,
unquestionably, a demand in
Kentucky, the South and the
Southwest for an up-to-date
magazine embracing all matters
of interest to the farm and the
family. Farm and Family" will
be publication devoted to agri>
culture, education, good roads
and the family, and it will cover
these subjects as ably and COM
pletely as modern organization
equipped with every means of
gathering information and intel
ligently editing same can possibly
do. Mechanically it will have
every facility known to modern
invention. The editor will be
Mr.. James Speed, we'll and wide
ly known in connection with the
movement for betterment in ag-
ricultural and educational circles
in Kentucky and the South.
Farm and Family" will be
published by the Louisville
Courier-Journal Company, in its
modern printing plant at Third
and Green streets, Louisville,
Ky. The initial number will
contain "a or more quarto pages,
and the price will be rs cents a
year.
To fill out the unexpired sub
scriptions of present paid-in-ad-
vance Weekly readers, the Sat-
urday issue of the Daily Courier
Journal will be sent, in addition

THE FOOT PATH
TO PEACE

To be glad of life because it
gives you the chance to love and
to work and to play and to look
up at the stars; to be satisfied
with your possessions but not
contented with yourself until
you have made the best of them ;
to despise nothing in the world
except falsehood and meanness,
and to fear nothing except cow
ardice; to be governed by your
admirations rather than by your
disgusts; to covet nothing that
is your neighbours except his
kindness of heart and gentle
ness of manners; to think sell
dom of your enemies, often of
your friends, and every day of
Christ; and to spend as much
time as you can, with body and
with spirit, in Gods out-of-
doors. These are little guide
posts on the foot-path to peace.
Be thankful for the little bless
ings and shout Halleluia for
the big ones.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
TO REV. H. D. CLARK.

The city of Mt. Sterling and
Montgomery county paid a beau
tiful tribute of respect and love
to Rev. H. d. Clark whose burial
took place last Thursday. The
services were held at the Chris
tan church where he had been
pastor for twenty-six years.
The floral designs were beyond
question the most beautiful ever
seen in the city.
The Hazelrigg Bible class,
with I28 members in line, were
the honorary pallbearers, and the
active pallbearers were John T.
Woodford, R. Bruce Young, DR..
J. A. Shirley, w. H. Strossman,
Jr., Lucien B. Greene, N. H.
Trimble, Leslie Mccormick and
Charles D. Grubbs, officers of
the church. AS the casket was
being borne into the church the
people arose.
The Rev. Mark Coils, of the
Broadway Christian church, in
Lexington, read Scripture pas
sage, which was followed by
Nearer My God to Thee" sung
by the choir. The officiating
minister, DR.. Coils, offered a
beautiful prayer for the church,
the citizens and the community.
In his remarks on the life of
Mr.. Clark DR.. Coils address
was brief but beautiful. His
tribute to his worth, his charac-
ter, his loyalty to his church, the
community and his love for his
fellows was one of the most ele-
giant ever heard in this city.
The choir then sang abide
With Me-" and the cortege mar
ched to Machpelah cemetery,
where the body was laid away.
DR.. Coils offered short prayer
and the members of the Bible
class passed in single file by the
grave, each depositing carna-
ton upon the casket, and the ser
vice was over. During the ser
vice every business house in the
city was closed out of respect to
one of the most respected men
in the community, and the bells
of the churches and city hall
tolled, while at the Farmers
Tobacco Warehouse work was
stopped during the funeral hour,
and a beautiful service was held,
attended by all farmers and
workmen who could not get into
the church, the address being
made by Rev. B. c. Horton,
pastor of the Methodist church
at Richmond.
