regard TO preparation of the soil.
Kills Insects.
Many OF our fields are badly in
tested with cut-worms, grub
worms, and other insect pests that
can mostly be killed by winter plow-
ing and allowing them TO freeze
Then too there are insects that live
through the winter on the corn
stubbles, grass, weeds, etc. that
would perish IL this trash were
plowed under and allowed 10 rot in
the soil during the winter.
Manuring the Land.
II is an excellent plan % scatter
manure thinly over the field after
winter blowing; il then teaches
slowly through the soil leaving the
plant food in the soil from the sur
face downward. Whereas, the
strength Of manure that is turned
under cannot possibly be as thor
oughly distributed through the soil.
Every farmer who keeps 20 or more
head Of horses and cattle should
have a manure spreader. BY its
proper use he can save enough over
the ordinary methods Of handling
manure TO more than pay for this
valuable tool in two or three years
besides doing away with a lot OF
hard work.

Common Diseases and Treatment.


IAN diseased birds should be isolat

ture in discussing the different diseases
30 common among chickens and theil
remedies. The seversi diseases and
their cures as set forth by the depart
ment are:
Colds and Roup.-Disinfect the drink
ing water as follows: To each gallon
Of water add the amount OF potassium
permanganate that will Iemain on the
surface Of a dime.
Canker.-Sprinkle a little flowers OF
sulphur in TIE mouth and throat Of the
bird aud put some chlorate Of potash
In the water: also carefully remove the
exudate with the aid Of warm water
and apply = per cent solution OF
creolin to the diseased tissue.
Chicken Pox.-Apply touch Of iodine
and carbolated vaseline to each sore.
Gapes.-New ground and vigorous
cultivation VIII often remedy this trou.
BILE.
Scaly Legs.-Apply vaseline contain
ing 2 per cent OF creolin TO TIE affect
ed parts and after twenty-fonr hours
soak in warm soapy water. Repeat
treatment until cured.
Diarrhea In Hens.-Low grade wheat

BILE; also give teaspoonful Of castor oil
containing five drops Of oil OF turpen-
tine to each fowl

Demonstration Work In South.

As the result of grass demonstration
work conducted by the department OF
agriculture during the past few years.
southern farmers are beginning to
grow crimson and bur clover and 9th
er legumes very extensively. and the
demand for seed from the south at
present has been unprecedented From
reports received from agents OF the
department. II was believed that more
than 100000 acres would be sown I'm
crimson and bur clover and vetch In
the southern states In the fall OF 1918
ON farms where none Of these crops
have ever been grown before.
Lespedexa Is rapidly spreading over
Louisiana. south Mississippi and Ar
kansas. and the department has had
some very successful demonstrations
with this crop In south Alabama dur
ting the year.

THE RYE CROP.

What are you going TO do with
the rye you sowed last fall? II
your land is level enough to run
over with a binder il will probably
be well TO harvest and thrash il for
seed. II seed rye is as high next
fall as usual IL will pay better than
wheat on the most OF our soils. Per-
haps II may be we'll for you to sow
grass and clover seed in the rye in
February or March. If you do not
you can get your crop Of rye Off the
land the last week in June and sow
II to cowpeas on or before July 1
which will enable you TO get an ex-
ccllent pasture for young hogs, and
perhaps crop OF hay and leave the
land in as good and probably better
condition than when the rye was
cut of.

Ia cool weather ten to thirteen chicks
are sufficient for one hen. while In
warmer weather fifteen to twenty can
be cared for successfully. Never mix
chicks Of different ages. Confine the
hen until the chicks are weaned. The
coop for hen ard chicks should be well
ventilated. easy to clean and of sum-
Client proportions to insure comfort"

Rye for Pasture.

On steep ground probably the best
use to make Of the rye is TO pasture
il of with most any kind of stock.
II is most nutritious when less than
a foot high. But too many stock
must not be turned in or il will not
last long. Some stalks may grow up
and head out.
You can realize at least 30 cents
10 90 cents a bushel for your rye
and improve land by turning in
good hogs when it is nearly ripe
and let them hog il down.

WINTER FLOWING IMPORTANT

There has never been as much
winter blowing done in this locali-
ty as has been done so far this
winter, and probably the ground
has not been in as good condition
for continuing the work as u Is
now. In fact old citizens tell me
they never saw the roads as dry in
January as they have been this
month.
The average rainfall. at Berea
during the last ~ years has been
az inches for December and IL
inches for January. December just
past had 80 inches, and January so
far only 10 inches, making a def
cheney Of nearly 80 inches Of win
ter rainfall so far this season with
the ground unusually dry in No
vember.
This means that IL the ground is
left unbroken until April, the rains
Of February and March, which are
more apt to come in the form OF
dashing showers than like the
steady rains Of December and jan
uary, will mostly run of into the
lstreams. Whereas il the ground Is
broken 3 TO 10 inches deep and left
unharrowcd large amount Of
moisture can be caught and held
for the use OF the coming crop.
Deep Flowing.
You can always pillow deeper in
winter than in spring. The wealth
er is cooler and the team can stand
IL better. As a usual thing the
ground is moister and softer, and
there are not so many live roots in
the soil which OF course material
ly lessons the draft. II subsoil be-
low any previous blowing is turned
up the freezing and thawing and
action OF the atmosphere aid very
much in bringing this soil into con-
ditiOn. So one can safely turn up
two inches Of subsoil in winter
where IL would be advisable TO turn
up only one inch in spring.
Subsoiling.
lf your ground is not too strong
and you have horses or mules not
doing much IL will pay you well to
follow in every furrow Of the break
ing pillow with a bull-tongue pillow
and dig up the bottom OF the fur
row from 10 q inches deeper. This
will give you loose earth down ~
TO IS inches and will wonderfully
increase the capacity Of the soil to
hold moisture.
Don't Plow when too Wet.
n your ground is too wet 10 pillow
now il needs ditching. DO that work
now as suggested in last weeks Cit
izen. II plowcd when too wet your
soil is likely to puddle and bake, so
you may have trouble with il for
years. On the other hand il II

Probably the best returns from
rye are to be obtained by pasturing
moderately until about May 1, and
then chopping up with disk harrow

growth left and turning il under for

Education Invaluable,

Education is companion that nc misfortune can depress, no cline de stroy, no enemy alienate, no despotism enslave; at home a friend, abroad an introduction, in society an ornament in solitude a solace. It chastens vice guides virtue, and gives at once grace and government to genius. Without 1t, what is man? A splendid slave, @ reasoning savage, vacillating between the dignity of an intelligence derived from God, and the degradation of pas sions participated by brutes.-Cole. ridge.
