them. A pride in this direction is
commendable, and always meets the

NEBRASKA BROWN FRONTS.
BY PROF. j. d. BUTLER.
LINCOLN, Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Nebraska.
The last United States census of
Nebraska farms showed one acre of
woodland for every three under tillage.
Nevertheless large portion of that
State is timberless. South of the
Platte River lumber for buildings is
chiefly obtained from Chicago or the
Mississippi River, via the railroad run
ming westward from Burlington. But
such lumber is expensive, one-third
more so than in New England, and
many \ pioneer has no money, or next
to none. How then can a poor man
obtain house2 He can build sod
house himself, incurring no expense
whatever except for door and win
dow, which he can buy ready made for
81 at any railroad station.
The sod-house builder finds his ma
teral ready to his hand, in every fur.
row of the virgin prairie his plow
turns up. The sods, compacted by
the tramp of buffaloes and bound to-
gether by the roots of the "devil's
shoe-string" and every other vegetable
product, form better bricks than the
Hebrews could have furnished Pharaoh
even before he denied them straw. Out
of this prairie quarry about nine DAYS
labor of one man sufiices to complete
a sod-house fifteen feet square on the
inside,-a dwelling warmer in winter
and cooler in summer than any frame
house. have seen such an abode
nine years old, yet still in good repair.
Many dwellers in houses of this sort
have assured me that they have suffer-
ed nothing from dampness, even when
they had no floors, no ceilings no plas-
tering nor paper hangings. But all
these four additions soon garnish the
original simplicity of many sod
houses.
The very roofs of sod houses are
often made of sods supported by poles,
which the settler can cut along the
banks of every water course. But if
he lives near no stream he must buy
at least rafters, aDd perhaps boards
and shingles for covering his house
top. Sod roofs are warmer, lumber
roofs are less likely to leak. This nov
ell style Of architecture is increasingly
popular and prevalent in Central Ne
braska. A majority of the dwellings
on the homesteads in Saline and York
counties, along the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad as it pushes
west from Lincoln, are sod-houses. No
doubt those in other counties are so
too. So are the inhabitants of many
among 1000 buyers of railroad land Of
the Burlington and Missouri River
Railroad Company.
In weeks ride just now through
the sod-house REGION calling
at many doors and entering not few,
i have found no man, no woman, no
child, home-sick for the land they
came from. On the other hand, all
were full of heart and hope,-assured
that by becoming landlords they were
about to become lords of the land. AS
the Homestead Bill give them free
farms, 80 the sods give them free
houses; and they are doubtful which
is the better boon.
The railroad lands above mentioned
have been bought on ten years credit,
six per cent interest, and on purchases
made since 1872, nothing of the prin-
cipal is payable until the end of four
years, while twenty per cent. is thrown
off from land prices for prompt pay
ment.
