Favorable Indications.

The people of the Southwest are bein
infused with he noble idea that Common
Schools and Railroads are essential to hap.
piness and prosperity. This is a favorable
indication, and all the more SO because the
people are practcing what they profess. In
this respect, Tennessee is leading the way;
and planting the foundations of her great
ness upon the rock of intelligence, she
promises to outstrip her sister States which
sill, iE measure, cling to the idea that
education fur the masses Is humbug. We
infer from the following inscriptions, ex.
hibited at the late Railroad Celebration in
Memphis. that the people of Tennessee are
right on the school question:"
"Use book as bee does flower"
"Publc Schools and Railroads-sure
guarantees OF greatness"
"Small boys-the Alphabet of America s
future.''
School Houses ssand Locomotives-the e
best guarantees of Union and Liberty"
"0ur Free Schools-the brightest jewels
in the city's crown"

How Potatoes are Grown in Cali
f0rnia.

]. A. Hobart, of San Pueblo, so says
the California Farmer, planted his potatoes
in July. and harvested them in January. The
yield was 200 sacks per acre. A sack is
$50 pounds, which, by our estimate, is two
and one-sixth bushels, orr nearly as mnch
as the average quantity sold here for bar
rel. 1t is equal to 4e0 bushels an acre;
and i, is stated that there were no small po-
tatoss in the crop. The whole would prob
ably, average one pound each.
How The GRoUSD WAS PREPARED -
The subsoD plow was used up to the beam
and the mold board plow as deep as could
be driven. five seperate plowings, SO that
the soil was stirred and pulverized about
two feet deep, and frequently exposed to the
atmosphere. The result was, that the land
produced crop worth $500 or $500 an a.
ere. Here is something for farmers to
think about.
