During the funeral services over
the remains of Mrs. Mary Kamm, at
Toledo, Ohio, May 18th, the drivers
of the carriages struck and refused
to work because the hearse was
driven by a non-union man. The
officiating undertakers filled the
strikers places just as the oasket
containing the remains was being
taken to the hearse.

A mule belonging to Henry Walker,
of Appleton, S. c., came to his death in
an unusual way two days ago. He was
drawing plow in the field when a queen
bee, plotting swarm of the Industrious
singers, took fancy to the ears of his
muleship and alighted on the tip of one
of these unstable appendages. The
whole swarm followed the queen and
was soon settled over the head of the
unfortunate animal. His efforts to free
himself from the undesirable propin-
guilty but enraged the bees, which stung
him to such in extent that he died.

Secretary Wilson, in talking to the
Cane Growers Convention, said that the
South could not conceal her great re-
sources. We have not tried very hard,
but we are glad to note the fact that he
says with much assurance of faith that
the world will soon find out about us,
and that the Southern farmer will soon
come into his own. This will be great
inheritance, for we are told that the
meek shall inherit the earth, and the
Southern farmer has certainly been
meek. Like lamb before the shearer
he has been dumb.-Florence Times.

WHAT NEBRASKA HAS DONE
TO RECLAIM DESERT LAND
BY FOSTERING NEW FORESTS

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 30.-The death
knell of the sand hills of Nebraska,
that immense, mysterious section in
the northwestern part of the State,
comprising several million acres. has
been sounded by the Government, and
in years to come instead OF that sec.
ton being spoken of as the sand
hills" II will be known as the pine for.
est section" OF Nebraska.
One hundred million trees will be
made to grow where today there is not
one tree to the 10000 acres. and al
ready the work is well under way. a
large number of foresters are daily en-.
rloycd in planting trees on the barren,
sandy hills. and during the month Of
June, 1908, one Of these bodies of men
planted 10000 young pine trees in one
reserve near the Dismal river, in
Blaine and Thomas counties.
This reserve contains about 10000
acres, and another containing $4,000
acres Is located between the Snake
and Nebraska rivers. in Cherry coun.
~. Cherry county Is slightly larger
than Connecticut and Rhode Island
combined and contains more than 2.
100000 acres of public lands subject
to entry under the homestead laws. It

men having the work in charge that

will be- planted in the hills that year
In ten years the work will be cOmplct'
ed. and 100000, 900 trees will flourish
and make an immense forest over the
lands which gave the name Of the
Great American Desert" to almost all
the trans.Missouri country.
This great and expensive work on
the part or the Government has moi
been undertaken thoughtlessly, but foI
ten years preparations have been un

been examining into the proposition
for that length Of time.
Fertile Soil Under the Sand.
The idea was first brought fOrwarC
when the clamor about the destruction
of Americas great forests was started

In efforts to find trees best suited to
the sand hills climate and conditions.
Professor Braniff OF the Yale School
of Forestry, one of the foremost au.
thorities of the nation, says: I'm the
sand hills the bull pine has shown a
rapid growth, and promises to develop
into a fine tree" In addition to hun.
dreds of thousands Of bull pine, West.
ern yellow pine. red cedar, and Jack
pine, have also Lcen planted in great
numbers, and in the nurseries which
have been established by the forestry
bureau thousands of pounds Of seed
from those trees have been sown. In
time the sprouts will be transplantcd
to the places where they will finally
become large trees.
The first nursery established for this
work was at Halsey, Neb.. near the
Middle Loup and Dismal rivers, and
Captain w. II. Mast was placed in
charge. Arterward another nursery
was established over on the Niobrara,
which Is much larger than the Dismal
reserve. From both Of these nurseries
forestry bands are now working. and,

able growths in the sand hills. Seeds
planted in 1892 today are trees from
eighteen to twenty-five feet high. As
these in turn have dropped their nee.
dies and seeds, other trees have shot
up, until thick growth has formed,
and there are probably ten times as
mauy trees to the acre as were Origi

undertook to create fuel for their fu

There are times during the year when
from a distance, instead of appearing
as barren sand. the hills appear as
green as Eastern meadow land. But
as fall approaches, the grass becomes
brown and dies down altogether, leav.
ing the bare sand cleaning. Then
when tho winters winds come the par.
ticles of sand are blown in all direc.
tiuns. and deep "blow-outs" occur, the
sand being secured out of the hill
sides and scattered over the roots OF
the grass to such depths that the grass
never succeeds in pushing its way to
the surface again. A few weeks often
changes the appearance of the hills.
so much that cowboys frequently be.
come lost and sometimes perish in at.
tempts to find their way out. Small
lakes and smaller streams. which
abound in the hills. are filled with sand
ond new ones created in other sec.
tions.
But the Department of Agriculture
expects to change this into a heavily
wooded country, which, enriched by
the falling pine needles, will support
grass and other vegetation. while the
roots Of the trees are expected to help
retain the moisture which falls, aud,
while preventing floods in eastern Ne
braska. to furnish enough water to
maintain the streams and rivers at a
more even stage, and in this manner
increase the crops of the State.
The work of transforming the sand
hills into forests Is one of the largest
tasks ever undertaken by the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, but when success.
fully completed the benefits secured
to the State will be practically untold.
Forestry experts everywhere are deep.
ly Interested in the work, and every
move Of those in charge is closely fol.
lowed and commented upon by those
Interested in forestry, both in America
and Europe.
To Benefit Whole State.
With forests again covering the
sand hills in the northwestern part
OF the state, it is claimed by the OK.
pcrts of the Agricultural Department
that there will be natural protection
against drought in Nebraska. The trees
will not only restore the soil, but hold
