Homestead Settlers.

The following extract is taken
from the annual report of the Sec
retary of the Interior:
In connection with this great
expansion Of the public domain
for homestead settlement it is
gratifying to be able to report that
the claims Of settlers upon the
public lands have been most satis-
factorily disposed Of since the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1888.
In his annual report for that year
the then Secretary of the Interior
stated that upon thorough ex-
animation of the unfinished busi-
ness of the General Land Office
the information acquired carried
heavy reproach against the Gov
ernment;;" that of final entries there
were pending on June 80, 1888,
23G, ,156, and the number of such
entries made during the year was
70, 1858; that this latter number ex-
ceeded all the final entries dis
posed of by patent during the last
year, so that instead of a "dimin-
ishment" Of arrearages the aecum-
ulation of cases had increased; that
Of original entries there were on
hand June 80, 1888, 350,953, of
which 217,640 were for home
steads. And the Secretary states
Up. vii):
1t is obvious, however, that it is
of great Importance to all honest
and rightful claimants that the
evidence to their title should be
speedily issued. Yet how dreary
is the prospect opened to the set
tier by the figures now exhibited
by the arrears of business.
Instead of the ]amentation so
justly INDUCED in by the Secre-
tary under the preceding admins
tration, the present Commissioner
of the General Land Office predicts
''that, with the present office force,
the business of the Bureau will
practically be brought up abreast
with current work by the end of
the next fiscal year" He gives in
his report the facts and figures,
setting forth the excellent work
done the past years, on which his
judgment is based. The number
Of agricultural patents, which in
cludes those for homesteads, issued
for 1889 was 60,141; for 1890, Ill.,
247, and for 1891, l14,360; and
there were left Of final entries for
such lands at the end of the last
fiscal year, June so, 1891, only
84,172. These are results gratify-
ing and encouraging. They reach
benefcently our fellow citizens in
their homes far away from the
capital, and by placing in the
hands Of the pioneer the title paper
to his homestead prove that his
government is mindful of it's
promises and capable of living up
to it's professions.

Peanut Culture.

JE. Cox of Bloomington, Cal,
writes to the Rural Californian as
follows: I find that the best time
to plant the peanut in this country
is from the middle to the last of
May. Prepare the ground well;
have it good and mellow, then
mark out in rows four feet apart,
and unless the ground is very
moist, run a little water along the
row, sufficient to soak it up nicely.
After it dries off a little drop your
nuts, one kernel in a place, twenty
two inches apart. I triel placing
one, two, three and four in g place,
but found that the one had more
and larger nuts than either Of the
others. After having dropped the
nuts, cover with cultivator. Moth
ing more needs to be done until
they get up nicely. About three
weeks after they come up mark on
both sides with a shallow shovel
marker, one that throws the dirt
both ways. Mark just close enough
so as not to cover up the young
vines. Then irrigate until the
ground is thoroughly soaked.
After it is dry enough, cultivate,
throwing the dirt in close to the
vines. Continue this every three
weeks during the season; each
time mark a little further from
the row, and always when cultivat-
ing roll the dirt in close to the
vines; by so doing you will keep
the ground high and mellow, SO as
the vine spreads the little tender
spurs that shoot down can pene-
trate it and bear fruit. Do not
allow the water to run over the
row as it causes the ground to
bake and the nuts to be Of a dark
color. It is not the nuts that re-
quire the moisture but the tap
root Of the vine underneath the
nuts. Do not cover the blossom az

matter thorough during the season
Just closed. [ selected six rows
side by side; each received the
same amount of water and atten-
ton. Three Of these rows [ COW
cred up the blossoms as they made
their appearance, before sunrise in
the morning, with a little moist
dirt. When [ harvested these six
rows 1 found, to my satisfaction,
that the three rows not covered
had a third more nuts and con-
slderably larger in size. The idea
that the peanut ought not to be
irrigated in this country is all
bosh. J. f. G.
