Agriculture in State Schools.

About IS per cent. of our chill
dren never get beyond the country
school. Our greatest hope for pre-
pairing them to become useful citi-
zens and to live most completely. is
through our teachers.
Every county in our Eastern Dis
trict must be made a paying county.
able to support itself, and have the
ban of pauperism forever removed
Our average corn crop In Kentucky
is only eleven bushels per acre. We
can make it thirty by proper fertili-
zation, cultivation and selection Of
seed. Other crops can be made to
increase accordingly.
Our forests are nearly gone and
we must replace them by the forest
growing hybrid walnut trees, which.
on our cheap land. in the east, will
make us millions in just few
years. Our coal is fast disappearing,
but the soil, II properly cared for,
will always stay with us and be our
most trusted source of wealth.
The mu ntains OF our Eastern
District are admirably adapted TO
fruit raising, and may be made to
stand next to the lake region and
California in quantity and quality.
Apples, pears, peaches, plums,
ounces, berries and nuts. can be
produced in immense quantities
when they fail in other sections,
This, believe, will be one of our
greatest sources OF wealth for the
future, If properly managed.
Now, we buy our canned and
dried fruit from California, at a
good price. The peaches and apples
used in the Bluegrass region are
shipped in through Cincinnati, from
the North and West, and we pay
from $3.50 to $3.50 per bushel fol
them, while peaches with the fines
flavor in the world, and quality In
ferior to none, sell in the mountain
at so cents per bushel,
!. Apples, superior in quality 4
!. many shipped into the State, sol'
in the mountains this fall at Il
cents per bushel and other fruit
accordingly.
Any country or State which ship
out its raw products and ships Il
its manufactured articles and foo
supply. Is doomed sooner or late.
We can dry and preserve fruit, an
raise apples enough to supply nc
only our own State but the SUI
rounding States.
There is no question that this wi
increase our wealth but In orde
that 1t may be done we must DO th
: following:
/. Introduce the best qualities {
fruit from home nurseries.
2. Secure fruit adapted to OF
soil and climate.
.. Instruct our teachers in I'll
very best practical methods OF bu,
ding. grating, crossing, prunin
growing. shipping, drying, cannir
and spraying that this may be han

children.

hundred million dollars worth
fruit and other farm products d
stroyed in the United States ann

Dramatic Incident In the Career os
 General de GaIIifet.
 It was on that fatal day. Sept. 1. 1870, that General de Gallifet distin- yuished himself by commanding the cavalry charges intended to clear the elevation at lily, with the view of opening . passage toward Floing, where 1t was hoped the army might re- treat. The first charge overthrow the Eighty-third regiment of the Prussians and penetrated among the German troops, but the latter formed again Sapidly after the retirement of thu French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked if they could renew the charge with W ,at re- nained of the light cavalry anc hus sars, and then Gallifet answered iH the words that have become historic, "As often as you wish. general. as long as man remainsv' The second charge was not so successful as the first. Only few men, with their gen eral at their head, succeeded in pene trating the first ranks of the enemy It is known that the king of Prussia, who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee, exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, les braves gens"'
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat. tie. As Gallifet was returning with few survivors. their horses for the most part wounded or foundered, he passed before the Nassau regiment. The Prussian officers ordered their men to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns. The French sa- luted and shouted, "Vive pempereur!"' and the German officers acknowledged the salute, some of them applauding.- Westminster Gazette.
