structing fences OF bulldogs, by sla :h.
Ing. Clearing or in other ways prepar-
pairing the land for cultivation, by
planting orchard, or by otherwise
making the homestead habitable or
capable of production, said improve
ments to aggregate an amount each
year OF not less than $3.50 per acre."
In the case of the enlarged home.
steads Of 800 acres the yearly amount
per acre must aggregate but Is cents
per acre. This means that the home.
steader may spend $40 a year on the
improvements described, instead OF
