Of Interest to Farmers.—Say what we will, the Southern Pacific is putting forth great effort to help the people of California. Its fourth annual demonstration train left Sacramento November 13, stopping on its initial trip of ten days in thirty-one communities. The train consists of six passenger-coaches, containing exhibits of different branches of husbandry, a baggage-car also for exhibits, a sleeper, diner, and baggage-car for those in charge, who are experts in various lines from the State university. The expenses, apart from the installation of the exhibits and the salaries of the experts, is wholly borne by the railroad company, and will amount to about $10,000 a year. The towns visited this trip are north of San Francisco; later other parts will be visited. Such education as this is of great value to the rural population if they will but improve the opportunity.
