Seventeen Thousand New Farms
Started Within A Year.

Does any one know how many new
farms have been opened in the United
States and their Territories this year ;
how many new log cabins have been
built; how many acres Of virgin soil
plowed up fur the FIRST time !? 1t is not
probable that any one does know with
exactness, but there is little table in
the report Of the Secretary Of the Int.
rior. presented to Congress tho other
day. which furnishes the material for an
approximately correct answer to these
questions. During the year ending
with June last there were taken up
under the Homestead law 2.875, 909
acres. New land taken up under the
Homestead law is for actual cultiva
ton. and it is generally taken in lots
of 16O acres. 1t would appear, there.
fore, that more than II 900 new farms
were con- menced last year under the
Homestead law alone. But this is not
all. There we're sold during the gear
640.691 acres for cash, and 137 $40
acres were allotted on military land
warrants. 1t is no doubt true that u
portion Of the 778 33l acres we're
hought or entered by others than &C
tual settlers. by spectators or by per
sons who made investments Vi this
nature for future purposes 1t would
be fair TO estimate. however, that one
half Of the 1881 acres were par
chased or entered for the purpose Of
settlement and cultivation
and this calculation would give rs 2 432
more new farms Of 100 acres each

Fence Posts Top End Down.

A study Of vegetable physiology led
me to try several experiments, many
!ye:rs ago, to throw light upon this
question. The sap Of moisture goes
up in the sap wood from the roots to
the leaves Of the trees. found if the
post is butt end down. the pores are
open upward, and water can go up
aud thus keep the post moist between
wind and water, which must cause a
rapid decay. 1t appeared probably
that the pores were open only upward
and not downward in the tree. TO
test this, | cut small maple sapling,
two inches through in May, lea> ing
the limbs all on, and placed the butt
end in pail Of brine. In thirty six
hours the leaves we're saturated with
this brine, the taste Of the salt being
strong.
At the same time l had cut another
maple sapliuy. aud crt Of the top
branch. leaving the rest Of the limbs
on. After winding cloth around the
butt.end, to prevent evaporation, l
placed the top end in a pail Of brioe.
and allowed it to remain several days,
but no brine had been absorbed at the
top end. 1t had not penetrated the
pores as far as the end was immersed
in the brine, for if the bark was
|scraped. there was not the slightest
taste OF salt to be found. This being
the case in the green tree, how much
more must the pores Of the dry tree te
closed from the top end downwards !?
| have tried many similar experiments,
and think the question settled that ii
a post is placed top eud down, no mois.
ture can ascend from the button OF
the hole up the post to rot it; but
when the butt end is down, the moist.
ure eau ascend the prs very rapidly
if green, and slowly if dry. Seasoned
posts are found to last much longer.
because the pores are more or less
filled within tie seasoned wood. |
should also infer that placing the top
end down would make more difference
IN green than in dry pest. In
pursuance Of the fact that the pores
Of green timber have been often sat-
urated with different solutions to pre-
serve it, BY immersing the butt enc,
freshly cut. in the solution to be ab.
sorbed, it will also be noted that burn
ing or charriog the posts only closes
the pores and prevents the absorb
siou Of water.-[E. W. s. 10 Country
