scribe briolly tlm work in the va
rious schools named above, tak
ing them in their order, showing
!• unefhing of the work done, and
in what states they are found,
1. Minnesota has almost an
ideal agricultural high school. It
is on the grounds of the State
University and as far as its needs
require uses the equipment of the
University. It has an enrollment
of about JOn students and 3f> in
structors including professors of
the University and special in
structors, many of whom are ex
perts in the various lines of Agri
cultural Scionco. Both sexes are
admitted the girls substituting
domostic science and practice for
the shopwork and a portion of the
agriculture. The young men have
practical experience in the field
work at the University farm. The
course is onesthird industrial,
ong^third scientific and one-third
of academic studies. Prof. Hays,
professor of Agriculture in tin 1
University of Minnesota, speaks
of this school as follows; “Nearly |
all the graduates of the school not
only return to the farm, but gen
erally succeed. Many of the
young men are growing into lead
ership in their respective com
munities and many more by their
quiet example are bringing about
a more hopeful view of country
life and farming, and are thus
setting the pace for many neigh
bors. In some counties this in
fluence is being clearly felt.”
The university of Nob. has a
similar school with an attendance
of IKS boys last year.
2. The Legislature of Wisconsin
ims passed an act for the estab
lishment, of County agricultural
high schools, to be under tlio gen-!
oral supervision of the State su
perintendent of public instruction
—the State paying one-half the
amount expended for instruction. ;
On account of tin* lack of trained
teachers m agriculture very few
of these schools have been estab- 1
lished so far.
The State of Alabama lias an
agricultural high school in each
Congressional district—the State
have sprung up in New York, New
Jersey. Pn., and hid. One of tho
most prominent of these schools
is the national Farm School, at
Daylestown, Pa. This school has
a farm «>f 122 acres, fine build
ings, dormitories, laboratories,
barns, greenhouses and live stock.
The students are largely drawn
from cities and reside at the
school during the entire year. A
large part of the labor is perform
ed by the students. A number of
its graduates are in the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, Wash
ington, 1). C.
Washington College, East
'Penn., h is a good course in agri
culture, a fine farm of 340 acres,
well equipped and cultivated al
most entirely by students. A
number of students from East
Tenn., N. C., S. C., West Va. and
Kv. enter her industrial depart
ment. some of these pay all of
their expenses by work on the
fa rni.
I. In order to prepare teachers
to give instructions in tho public
schools of the State, Missouri has
introduced the agriculture into
her three 1 ead i n <; normal
schools. One of these schools
give 10 weeks to agriculture in
struction.
o. Very few states have a good
course in agriculture in the public
school, although quite a number
require Elementary Agriculture.
Georgia has a legislative act re
quiring agriculture to bn taught,
in t he public school, but the Supt.
of Public instructio!' says, teach
ers are not required to take the
examination in Agriculture. It
scorns to me under this state of
affairs it, is like tho “blind lead
ing the blind.”
Chas. W. Davis,
N. G. A. C.
Those who say that there is no
such things as mad dogs, read this
clipped frlmi the Marietta Journal.
Three weeks ago Mr. C. E. Hen
derson’s little son, Ryhiirn, was
driving his goat to a little wagon
on the square when a strange dog
came along in a run and bit the
goat in the nose, lace-rating it bad
ly. East week the goat began to
show symptoms of hydrophobia
and where it was peaceful before
it became wildly mad, and rushed
upon dogs, chickens, or anything
else in sight with ferociousness.
The goat was fastened up in a barn
and he Imtiid the door like a ho d-
oml collision of a train, splitting
the plank. Tho goat became so
violent on last Thursday morning
that Mr. Henderson had to kill it.
The dog that bit it went on its
way and doubtless bit other ani
mals and hydrophobia may devel
op.
An old negro woman in Hars
mony Grove is jubilant oyer the
new vagrancy law, reports the
Jackson Herald. Shelias several
children, who have been persistent
heretofore in their rcfusol to work,
and in expressing her opinion of
tho law, she says: “Thank you,
boss, thank you, suh! Hat va
grancy law am do best law dat eb-
or was made in Georgy. Fore
dey passed it, liiv chillun wouldn’t
work. Now dey gits up fore day
and is in de cotton patch fore sun
up. Thunk you, boss; thank you,
sah!”
Speaking of the acquittal of Jim
Tillman, the Augusta Tribune
states the case in the following
true words: “But though Col.
Tillman has been declared not
guilty by a jury of his peers the
fact remains that lie killed his
enemy, and that he shot him down
when he was unarmed and unpre
pared to defend himself. To say
that this homicide was committed
in selfsdefenso, aud was made
necessary because the slayer’s own
life was in jeopardy at the time,
would bo an iusult to intelligence.”

Foley s Kidney Cure will positively cure any case of
Kidney or Bladder disease that is not beyond the
reach of medicine. No medicine can do more.
If you notice any irregularities, commence taking-
Foley's Kidney Cure at once and avoid a fatal malady.
A r.icrchcni Cucod After Having Given Up Hope.
Foley & Co., Chicago.
Gentlemen:—I was afflicted with Kidney and
Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous
preparations without getting any relief and had given
up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY’S KIDNEY
CURE was recommended to me. After using one
bottle I could feel the effect of it, and after taking
six fifty-cent bottles, I was cured of Kidney and
Bladder trouble and have not felt so well for the past
twenty years and I owe it to FOLEY’S KIDNEY
CURE. James Smith, Bentons Ferry, W. Va.
A Veteran of the Civil War Cured After Tan Years
of Sufforing.
R. A. Cray, J.P., of Oakville, Ind., writes:—
“Most of the time for ten years I was confined to my
bed with some disease of the kidneys. If was so
severe I could not move part of the time. I consulted
the best medical skill available, but got no relief until
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me.
I am grateful to be able to say that it entirely cured me.”

Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
Effected Cure.
Heart disease is curable, but in people of
advanced age it does net readily lend itself
to ordinary treatment. There is, however,
hope for all sufferers in l)r. Miles’ Heart
Cure, which we know from watching hun
dreds of cafes and from the letters of grateful
sufferers, will cure where all else has failed.
It is not only a wonderful cure for weak and
diseased hearts, but it is a blood tonic, a reg
ulator of the heart’s action and the most
effective treatment ever formulated for im
proving the circulation of the blood.
“During the Civil war I contracted heart
disease, and in 1S96, while living in the grand
old town of Lexington, Va., I grew so much
worse, 1 left there with my wile to visit my
sisterdn-law, Mrs. T. A. Kirby, at Roanoke,
Va. While I said nothing to anyone 1 never
expected to live to return to the dear old
town. On reaching Mrs. Kirby's she insisted
1 should try Dr. Sides’I feart Cure. I pro
cured a few bottles of it, also the Nervine
and Tonic. After using one or two bottles, I
could see no improvement, and I despaired
of ever being better, but my faithful wife in
sisted on keeping it up, which I did.. Im
provement soon began in earnest and I took
in all iifteen or sixteen bottles. I was re
stored to perfect health and while I am 70
years old, I am comparatively a boy. You
sir, are a benefactor, and I cheerfully recom
mend Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure to suffering
humanity.”—J. L. SLAUGHTER, Salem, Va.
