Early Potatoes.

Every fsmily--in the country at least
have them plentifully by the frs,
OF August, and by taking some pains may
begin to use them by the Fourth Of July.
The first thing 10 be considered is the soil
II should be a comparatively dry and
sandy soil, rather than wet, black loan.
q fiesh or new soil is greatly preferable
one recently covered with grass, or what
10 still better, scrub oaks, sweet fern,
blackberry and huckleberry bushes,
Such soil, when well ploughed and hAr.
rowed, will be light, and will abound with
the atkalies and alkalide earths that the
potatoe requires. The situation selected
should be an open but warm one-along
the side Of an old fence or wall, where
bushes have been growing for century,
or less, and exposed to the morning sun.
On such soil and in such situation the
plants will start early and come to matur.

good one, the tubers grown will have a
sweet and agreeable Favor. II the ground
was not prepared las, fall, i. should be
made ready as soon as the frost is out, so
that i. can be ploughed six inches deep,
and the potatoes planted.
In order to facilitate the crop some per-
fons set barrel Of seed by the kitchen
stove about the middle Of March, where
they remain until sprouts have started
aalf an inch in length. In this case the
top of the, potatoes must be covered with
. loan or cloth to keep out the Light
Others lay bushel or two Of seed upon
grass ground, in some warm spot, and COW
er them with horse manure sufficiently
deep to keep them warm. They will sprout
readily in this condition if they are kept
moist and waam, and can be got at to
plant more easily than from barrel
Others still, who only require few, start
them in hot beds.
Planting should take place just as soon
as the soil is dry enough to admit of work.

How to Repair a Road.

The first requisite is to have dry bed
for the road. Without this, the super
structure of whatever material i. may be
composed, will soon become rough and un
even. Some soils are naturally drained
and the gravelly subsoil thrown upon the
surface aud rounded little makes as good
a path as need be. Others need draining
and no amount of gravel upon the surface
will make good he'd without it. We
frequently find bsd places upon hillside
where the water is always bursting out in
rainy seasons. A three inch tile drain
four feet deep just above those wet places
would make them dry up permanently land
save large exp enditurc every year. 1t
tiles are not available, stones or wood
should be used. There is no help for
these mud holes but in draining the bed
A. single dollor spent at the bottom is
worth ten at the top in gravel. Roads are
20 constantly in use aud the prosperity of
the farmer so much depends upon them,
tina. no pains should be spared to have
them of easy grade and as smooth as pos
sible. All classes in the community are
benefited by good roads, but the farmer

The ground of our complaint is this
that the Presiseit after insisting Upon it,
that Alabams has never been out of the
Union, and expressing his profound salts
faction with what that State has done in
order to secure the. success of his plan Of
reconstruction. should allow any inter-
ference on the part of military subor-
dinate, with the sSt-of the people of Mo
bile In choosing Mayor to suit themselves.
Plain DeaLeref Wednesday.
Here is the cloven foot of State Rights
as it has been exhibited at each step of the
Democracy during the war and since its
close. Alabama has not been out of the
Union, because Federal bayonets kept her
in, but she tried during four years war
to go out, and the newly-eleeted Mayor of
Mobile, General Withers, did all in his
power as an officer in the rebel army to
take her out. Now the Democracy de-
mand for him the right tc hold Office
without even fling an application for par
don. In the Dealers article on Monday
it denounced the President for exercising
jurisdiction" over the unpardoned No
bile Mayor; now it shifts the responsibility
to "a military >subordihats.p The bs1s'e'
is consistent in only ene thing, and that is
to everything loyal.

1t seems almost incredible that after all
that has been written and said about the
ratification of the Constitutional amend
ment, the editor of leading paper should
make so gross blunder as to assert that
the assent of the Legislatures of t'0O thirds
of the States to the amendment was suffi-
cient for its final adoption. Yet this blum
der is the base ofa leading editorial in the
Pittsburg Commercial. The managers of
that paper had better purchase copy of
