Cold weather Desserts

Desserts may be used in menus
in one Of two ways: they may be
light and the servings small, as with
iello, adding little to the actual food
value Of the meal, or they may be
made TO furnish a substantial part
~ the meal. At this time " year
the body needs more food which
may be burned for fuel than at any
other time. Also, the body needs TO
be supplied with foods which con-
tain the three chief minerals found
in them. Iron, Calcium and phos-
phorous. There are many whole
some desserts, which may furnish
a large part of the meal, Of which
all housekeepcrs should be familiar.
Chiefly those desserts containing
raisins or other dried fruits have
been chosen, since It is from them
We may get the mineral. Raisins
have not increased in price as rapid
~ rs most other foods. Raisins need
little s'gar used with them. Raj
sins have very high percentage
of iron. Raisins combine nicely
with 20 many foods, therefore usc

adapted 70 tneir WORK tnnt no conSid-
erable saving Of time and labor Is pos
sible. The only solution OF their prob
lem was the exclusive production OF
poultry of the quality that would bring
profitable prices. for In feed and care
birds OF high quality cost no more to
produce than those Of greatly Inferior
quality.
For the professional breeder this e1-
act adaptation OF the stock to the end
for which II Is designed Is q necessity.
In the matter OF producing eggs and
meat there Is not the same absolute
necessity. The volume OF production
can be maintained. and even greatly
increased. by the continuance and ex-
tension OF those better practices which
have made possible ~ much of the
Increase which has already been
attained. But II the producers OF
eggs and poultry for the table are
to do their utmost TO Increase the
supplies OF those products. the easi-
est, the shortest and the surest
way Is through general use OF the
most productive types; that is, by the
use on the part OF every poultry keep
er of the most productive types In his
stock. II is not meant that there
should be wholesale replacement OF or
dlnary stocks by stock of strains cele-
brated for extreme h. 'gh production.
That may be done to advantage In
many Instances Hut with the great
majority of poultry Keepers immediate
gain In production must be made by
good use OF su.h stocK as they have.

TO THE FARMERS OF RocKcAsTLE
AND SOUTHERN MADISON
COUNTIES

Nv dear Farmer Friends: The
year 1918 has gone now forever but
IL leaves great pleasure with me be-
cause Of many wonderful things
which have been done by you along
agricultural lines.
In completing my annual report
| find that southern Madison county
has a splendid crop Of corn aud in
creased her wheat acreage from
ii62 acres TO 27i5 acres. Rockcastle
county has a good corn crop and in
creased the wheat acreage from S75
to 25OO. Southern Madison and
Rockcastle has from 5000 to 70OO
bushels of seed corn ready for neat
years crop. Thirty-siX flocks OF
sheep have been started. $50 eve
lambs were kept in Rockcastle
county for breeding purposes. There
were hundreds of other things that
I would like to speak of which |
will bring TO your attention later.

counties this winter on account OF
teaching in Berea College. am in
charge of a short agricultural course
in which we take up soils, farm
crops, farm animals and farm man
agement. | wish that many of you
could take this short course this
winter. | shall be ready to answer
any correspondence and be glad to
send bulletins and information to
any farmer who wishes it. | shall
be in my office on Saturday after
noon from 2:i5 until 400 O'Clock.
Always glad to have you call and
discuss farm problems.
The agricultural outlook for 1919
is very promising. The wheat crop
is better than ever has been known
at this time. Stock is in better con-
dition. We have more seed corn
selected and cared for than we will
be able to use in this section and
this means that we will have some
for sale.
One Of the big events of the State
Of Kentucky for 1919 will be Farm
ers' Week at the State College OF
Agriculture, Lexington. Farmers
week begins January 2S, and con-
tinues to the 3ist. | hope to see
many OF you present at this meet
ing. We shall see there on exhibit,
the products of Kentucky and hear
the best speeches on the subject OF
live stock, soils, farm management,
etc. | hope that many farmers OF
southern Madison and Rockcastle
counties will plan to be at this
meeting. Sketches of Farmers Week
will be found in The Citizen and The
Signal from time to time.
IL you or your sons are interested
in taking a course in agriculture
this winter come to Berea and we
shall be glad to share with you iii
this course.
wish you a prosperous and more
profitable year 1919.

MOST PRODUCTIVE HEN TYPE
Poultry Keepers Aim TO Combine Econ.
omy and Erieieney-More EGGS
From Fewer Hens.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF AgricultureD
American poultry keepers as a class
have always aimed to combine econ
omy and efficiency In poultry rroduc-
tiOn. In wartime patriotism impels
them 10 extraordinary efforts In this
direction. moving them TO do every
thing. and to leave nothing undone
that will help to quickly increase the
nations supplies Of poultry and eggs.
IL Is not the high cost of feed alone,
since America entered the war, that
has led TO more careful attention to
the routine work In poultry keeping.
and TO greater judgment and skill in
feeding. The saving of money has
been an incentive. but. above and be-
yond that. every poultry keeper real
lies that getting better production
from less feed is doing double duty In
conservation and production-saving
feed and at the same time increasing
food.
That American poultry keepers are,
on the whole. more efficient In egg pro
duction seems to be plainly Indicated
by the fact that, as compared with the
period before the war. market receipts
of eggs increased more than receipts
Of poultry. Reports from persons In
touch with production In many local.
ties agree that more eggs are being
produced from the usual numbers of
hens kept. and In many instances from
smaller numbers. II may well be pre-
sumed that such efficiency In one line
OF production extends to others closely
co-ordinated with IL, nnd that poultry
meat Is being grown more economical
ly-though no common statistics indi-
cate II, and IL Is not so readily OBJ
served In common practice.
Among professional breeders Of
standard poultry the first result Of
wartime conditions was TO emphasize
afresh. and more effectively than ever,
the benefits of rigid selection of breed
ing stock and severe culling Of the
young stock while growing. The high
cost of feed hit this class of poultry
keepers hardest because, even under
normal conditions. a considerable part
Of their stock must be carried for quite
n long time after coming 10 maturity
before Il Is sold. The concentration
Of interest and industry upon things
Immediately relating to the conduct Of
the war and the production Of food
tended TO decrease the demand for
their stock.
So. with stock actually costing n
great deal more than In normal times
they had 10 face the problem of either
reduced sales or lower prices ON good
grades of stock TO attract trade. Some
chose one alternative, some the other;
but all adopted the policy Of using only
breeders of the very best type. and so
reducing 10 the lowest practical point
the waste of feeding inferior young
stock.
Professional breeders were com
PEELED TO do this, because no other
plan Of economizlng comparable To II
In efficiency was open to them. Good
feed In abundance had 10 be used.
whatever the cost. or their birds would
not attain full development and com
mand profitable prices.
Their methods generally are so well

OPPORTUNITIES FOR KENTUCKY
FARMERS

Farmers Of Kentucky have learn
ed that limestone is one Of the most
essential requirements for improv-
ing soils, and the demand has in
creased far beyond the supply. One
solution OF the limestone problem
is home-erinding. The College OF
Agriculture will give demonstrations
in grinding limestone with different
types OF home grinders on Thurs
day, January 30, during Farmers
Week. Also different methods Of
spreading limestone will be given
at the same time. The University

That's what the war was costing
America when the Armistice was
signed.
Quick! Some one! Stop the clock!
Well, some one did.
That day Of our first Peace Cele-
bration when we all went crazy and
tore loose, some wag in the bank did
stop the clock. Took out the pendu-
lum and tied a big piece Of black
crepe on the clock itself. And every
body laughed and yelled their heads
off-because the war was over.
That was the end of it. The war
was over-the clock was stopped and
everything.
Well-almost everything.

at 1855 a second! They're sti1 tick
ing. Not at 1855. to be sure-but it
will run far into millions before next

We still have a job to finish. We
still have war-bills to pay. And Amer
leans always pay their bills.
We still have an army at the bridge
heads of the Rhine, and we've got to
keep it there for while-if we're 60

armistice.
And then there are the soldiers to
bring back and the wounded to care
for and the crippled to make over and
jobs to ind-before our job is finish

gies to making plows and automobiles
