The Farm Lands of this Country.


Some interesting facts may be
gathered from the recent report OF
the Agricultural Bureau with refer
ence to the comparative acres of farm
lands, improved and unimproved, and
waste lands, in the different States OF
the Union. For,,example the South
ern States exhibit an area of nearl y
three hundred million acres of wild
or waste lands, two hundred million
acres of farm lands unimproved-that
is, untilled-and only about seventy
million acres nominally improved,
more than half of which is not in
actual cultivation. The extreme
West shows nearly the same ratio of
improved and unimproved agricultu
raj territory.
Tie number of farms and their
size vary curiously in different States,
and the relative amounts of titled and
untitled lands are also very different.
The largest farms are found in
| California, where the average size OF
eighteen thousand farms is 666 acres.
Massachusetts,, with thirty eight
thousand farms, average only "a
acres to a farm, being in this respect
the most infinitely divided of all the
States in the Union.
The largest number Of farms is
found IN New York, which has 1885,
900, averaging LOG acres, and the
next largest in Ohio, which numbers
10000, averaging ia acres. Ne
vada, as vet, has only 81 farms, which
average 611 acres.
The greatest area of wild land is
found in Texas, which has no less
than one hundred and twenty. six
million acres of this Improbable ter
ritory to set against less than three
million acres Of land in nominal cul-
tivation, and California comes next,
with one hundred and twelve million
acres of waste, against little over
two millions cultivated.
Rhode Island, with little more than
three hundred thousand acres of
waste territory, has over five thou
sand farms, averaging SO acres, be-
sides one hundred and eight thousand
acres of farm lands unimproved
The totalarfa of Congress lands"
in all the STATE amount to eight hun
dred and forty million acres, the to-
tai number of farms in cultivation to
two million and,thirty four thousand
acres, and the aggregate OF average
size to 102 acres The above figures
are given in round numbers only, but
made near as possible to the exact
amounts stated in the report.
1t will he seen that there is still
vast room for agricultural improve
ment, and that the territory still lying
open to cultivation is sufficient to
provide for an almost unlimited i'm
migration through very many years
to come
The term awild or waste land"
used in the report, is not meant to
signify land unfit for farming pur-
poses, but only that which still re-
mains unenclosed and unappropriat.
ed, IN a state of virgin forest, prairie
or plain. Some of this is, of course,
sterile, but very much OF it only needs
the hand of inustry to make it
blossom into fruitfulness.--Farmer' S
Chronicle

fellow citizens to come up the Capital
OF the State in large delegations, CON-
posed of the sages and young men OF
the party, who sustained the country
in the hour of its trial, the veterans
and soldiers who fought and bled in
Its defense, to organize for thorough
and brilliant campaign.
The recent glorious struggle in the
Eighth Congressional District, which
resulted in the triumphant election
of General Beatty, assures US that
the current of defeat has been hap
PLY and successfully checked. Let
the reaction be further encouraged
and promoted by the assemblage Of
large numbers of the friends Of the
country from every county in the
State ON the day named, to secure a
! borough and efficient organization
of our forces, backed by a hearty de-
termination that victory no less glo-
rious than that of 1863 shall again
rejoice loyal hearts all over the land.

All delegations, however numerous,
will be entitled 10 seats in the Con-

A joyous time may be expected,
one that will rejoice the heart OF

peace and prosperity to the whole

cratic doctrine
We are pleased to see movements
commenced for Democratic organiza.
sion in the South. 1t is important
that this should be done early and
well. Every Southern State should
be fully represented in the Democratic
National Convention by its soundest
and truest men.
Let not the votes of the Southern
delegates be cast for men who through
either cowerdice, venality, or lack ol
principle, aided and abetted the
most gigantic wrong of modern
days.
And whatever may be the progress
or condition Of mongrel reconstruc-
tion-let your States be organized
into black States, or stand as they do
now, in state of political chaos
you, men of the South, must record
your votes, and they must be coun.
ted, and as that vote shall show to.
gether with the votes cast by the
white men of the North, a majority
for or against our candidates, SO
shall the result be declared, and so
shall it stand and be carried out,
If this brings bloodshed then let
blood flow!
If this carries war into the manu-
featuring districts and commercial
cities OF the North if the torch
which has blazed through the South,
leaving nothing but desolate hearth
stones and blackened ruins, visits
the grand structures and costly ma
chinery of Lowell made prosperous
by tribute wrung from the poor mans
hard earnings, and levels with the
dust the proud and boasted palaces
of Stewart and others, who arrogate
the title of "Merchant Princes" in
our land, then let the torch blaze and
eonfagration run riot!
4
Then we say to all Democrats
both North and South: Be firm, be
true, Be brave :. The destinies,
the fate, the hopes Of our white race
are in your hands, and you can, ye
must We 'oill, save and restore and
re- establish it in power and su-
premacy in all this land.
1t is for us to restore its beauty,
recall its peaceful happiness, make
glad its sore and troubled hearts,
and kill the accursed serpent which
has been the author of so much
wrong, and suffering and bereave
ment.
Then kill and spare not!
Then strike and let every blow
cut deep into the heart of the mon
ster!
Do this, and victory! victory.
shall be your watch word and re-
ward.
