The ratio of area required to be broken, planted, etc., in all entries under the act of June 14th, 1878, is one- sixteenth of the land embraced in the entry, except where the entered tract is less than forty acres, in which case It isone sixteenth of that quantity. The party making an entry of a quarter section or one hundred and sixty acres. Is required to break or plow live acres covered thereby during the first yeir, and five acres in addition during the second year. The five acres broken or plowed during the first year he is re­ quired to cultivate by raising a crop, or otherwise, during the second year, and to plant In timber, seeds, or cut­ tings during the third year. The five acres broken or plowed during the serond year he is required to cultivate byraUingacrop. or otherwise during the third year, and to plant in timber, seeds, or cuttings, during the fourth year. The tracts embraced in entries Of a less quantity than one quarter sec­ tion are required to be broken or plowed, cultivated or planted in trees, tree-seeds, or cuttings during the same periods and to the same extent, in pro­ portion to their total areas, as are pro- Tided for in entries of a quarter seo- tion. Provision is made in-the act for an extension of time in case the trees seeds or cuttings planted should be destroyed by grasshoppers or by ex­ treme and unusual drought. 5. If, at the expiration of eight years from the date of entry, or at any tine within five years thereafter, ^ the per­ son making the entry, or if he be dead, bis heirs or legal representative?, shall prove by two credible witnesses, the planting, cultivating and protecting of the timber for not less than eight years, according to the provisions of the act of June 14th, 1878. he, or they, will be entitled to a patent for the land embraced in the entry. 8. If. any time after one year from V fbe date of entry, and prior to the 1«iue of a patent therefor, the claim­ ant shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of that act, then, and in that event, such entry will become liable to a contest in the manner pro­ vided in homestead cases,- and upon due proof of such failure the entry will be canceled, and tho land become again subject ta entry under the home stead laws, or by some other person wider the act of June 14th, 1878. T. No land acquired under the pro­ visions ot the act of June 14,1878. will In any event become liable to the sat­ isfaction of any debt or debts contract­ ed prior to the Issuing of the final cer­ tificate therefor. 8. The fees for entries under the act ef June 14.1878, ye 910 if the tract ap­ plied for Is more than eighty acres; and 96 if It Is eighty acres or less; and the commissions of register* and; re­ ceivers on all entries, (irrespective of aroa) are «4 to each) at tke date of entry and a like sum at the date of ? final proof. S ®* No distinctions are mads, as to area, or the amount of fee and com­ missions, between minimum and double minimum lands. A party may enter 180 acres of either on payment of the prescribed lee and commissions. 10, The fifth section of the act ap- ; proved March 3,1867, entitled "An Act In addition to an act to punish crimes against the United States, and for other purposes," is extended to all • oaths, affirmations and affidavits re- . quired or anthorizec£]by the act of Jan* 14th. 1878. „ tin OUTFIT furni»h«d free with all in.
