Re-Forest Slopes of Pike's Peak

EVERY day was Arbor Day high up on the slopes of Pike’s Peak last spring. Government forestry officials replanted a vast area, which was fireswept more than 50 years ago. '* Hundreds of thousands of pine seed and young trees were planted on barren slopes, marking the first important step toward reforesting the entire Rocky Mountain Range—or so much thereof as is Included in the National Forests. With the denuded areas on the slopes of the Rockies covered with a sturdy growth of young trees, the snowfall ih the mountains will be much slower ih melting. This will hold back the waters which now rush to the Mississippi Valley from the Rocky Mountain watershed in April and May. These late floods have done the most damage this season, as their addition to streams already bank full has proved too great a strain for levees to bear. A force of more than 50 men were employed in the Pike’s Peak region for several weeks, planting seed or young trees, according to the demands of the situation. The area that is being reclaimed Is typical of millions of acres of once heavily wooded land In the National forests. After being swept by fire, many years ago, the reseeding process of nature has proved very slow, and the land has become more barren every year. The soil soil has been washed down the mountainside by rains, until In many places only rocks are to be seen where once there was a goodly covering of earth. Charred and rotting trunks of trees are to be seen on every hand, and nothing could be more desolate or hopeless than these scarred mountain slopes. The campaign against desolation has been waged adroitly. No point has been overlooked by the forestry experts in carrying on the battle. If snow fell, the planters were set to work broadcasting seed In certain parts of the plantation, where such a method of planting seemed modt advisable. Broadcasting on the snow is one of the most effective methods of planting under certain conditions, and most of such work is done on horseback, ,as the seed, cast from a great height, will Imbed Itself deeply in the snow and Is not likely to be blown away. Requires Great Care.

Every day a thin line of skirmishers climbed up and down the rockiest slopes, each man carrying a bagful of seed at his side and a small pick in his hand. A hole was dug, with one blow of the instrument, and a seed Inserted in the shallow covering of the soil, or In the earth-filled crevice between two stones. The men always work In a line and become so expert at this method of planting that they climb up and down the mountainsides in almost perfect formation, and with incredible rapidity, planting as they go. In another part of the plantation, where it had been decided that seedplanting was not best, another line of skirmishers planted young trees. In these places the resources of the Forestry Department were called upon. The Pike National Forest has a splendid nursery of several hundred acres in the foothills at Monument, Col., where hundreds of thousands of -young trees are bejng reared for planting purposes. From the Monument nursery'the young trees were shipped In crates, with their roots carefully protected. The roots for a or 2-year-old.pine are so sensitive that contact with the air for a few seconds will spoil them. Wet moss is used forkeeping the roots protected from the air, and in this way the young trees arrive for planting. Though they are only a few inches high, their vitality is something amazing, and there is less loss from planting by this method than any other. » Generally the crates of young trees were replanted, close to the scene of operations, In some gully where they kept damp. As they were wanted they were repacked into wire baskets, which were slung across the shoulders of carriers. These carriers took the trees to the planters, who were busy with their mattocks. The carriers passed up and down the line of planters. As each hole was dug a tree was quickly trust in to avoid the contact of air with the roots, and a couple st sticks or stones placed beside the young pine to shelter it from the wind until it becomes firmly rooted in its pew home. The general attitude of the Western

WHERE SEEDLINGS WERE PLANTED

public may be summed up in the words of a grizzled old prospector, who, on seeing a line of tree planters at work on the Cascade plantation in the Pike’s Peak region, exclaimed: “Well, it looks doggone good to see soinebody traveling through these hills building things up instead of cutting down and destroying!” Bare and Forbidding. I The work of reforesting the Pike’s Peak region is in charge of Forest Supervisor C. WaFltzgerald and Forest Expert H. G. Relnlsch. Both are young men, but have made notable names for themselves in forestry work In this country. Mr. Fitzgerald spends much of this time In the saddle, looking after affairs in the Pike National Forest, a domain of 1,300,000 acres. Mr, Relnsch has had experience in forestry in Germany as well as In this country, and is an authority on sowing and planting. “These trees are my children,” said the young German enthusiastically, as he watched the planters at work. ’.T have 350,000 of them growing now, and In ten years you will never recognize these mountain slopes. Things could not be more bare and forbidding than they are today. They would get worse, as the natural , re-seeding process seems to be very slow here, but once let our young trees get a start, and things will be vastly different. See that slope across theret" he continued, pointing across to a hill, the upper part of which seemed solid granite. “We have planted only on the lower part of that slope, where there is more soil. But In time, when our trees have grown, the winds will blow the seeds to the upper slopes, and the hill will be covered with trees to the very top. That is our main object—to assist nature In her work. “We are planting western yellow pine and Douglas fir here. The yellow pine does well on the dry, sunny slopes, s and the Douglas fir is planted on the more shaded slopes, as that trees requires more moisture. But there are many questions to be determined before planting—questions of the timber that will prove the most salable and the most accessible. As a general rule we follow the footsteps of nature as closely as possible In planting, but sometimes the timber that nature has planted on a slope will not prove merchantable so something else is substituted.”

SIGNS OF NERVE TROUBLE

Disposition to Make Much of Little Things Means That System Is Out of Gear. When the system is strained other people’s faults and falling are magnified by the unfortunate person who sees everything out of proportion. A trivial mistake or stupidity on the part of a maid causes such a tumult in the breast of her nervy mistress that it appears a terrible disaster. Self-control is lost, high words are exchanged, and notice is probably given. When the fit of nerves has passed things again resume their right proportion, but the mischief is done, and then matters cannot be readjusted. Your children can hardly be expected to know when you are strung up. Their spirits are high, and when all ie normal you join In their fun. Then suddenly they/ become unbearable. Really it is not their fault that you see their antics out of focus, as it were. Instead of snapping at them, it would be far wiser to explain aad enlist their sympathy. Take them into your confidence. Tell them you think that you may be unreasonably cross If they are much with you, for you are not feeling well. Train your daughter to minister to you when the strain of household worries makes you feel as though you must break down. ' • Bring up your boys to sympathise and understand that you do not mean to be cross and only want them, to keep out of your way till your nerves have had the opportunity to calm down. - ' Try to take a little rest-cure when yoi> feel “jumpy” and “snappy” over trfftes. Recline upon your bed in a darkened room, indulge in a little nap, if possible, and things will look brighter when you emerge from your solitude. At the same time battle with a strong will against seeing things out of proportion.—Exchange,

ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP

Lebanon, O—“My eczema started on my thigh with a small pimple. It also came on my scalp. It began to Itch and I began to scratch. For eighteen or twenty years I could not tell what I passed through with that awful itching. I would scratch until the blood would soak through my underwear, and I couldn’t talk to my friends on the street but I would be digging and punching that spot, until I was very much ashamed. The itching was so intense I could not sleep after once In bed and warm. I certainly suffered torment with that eczema for many years. “I chased after everything I ever heard of, but all to no avail. I saw the advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample. Imagine my delight when I applied the first dose awful Itching fire on- my leg and scalp, in less than a minute the itching on both places ceased. I got some more Cuticura Soap and Ointment After the second day I never had another itching spell, and Cuticura Soap and Ointment completely cured me. I was troubled with awful dandruff all over my scalp. The Cuticura Soap has cured that trouble.” (Signed) L R. Fink, Jan. 22, 1512. Cuticura Soap find Ointment sold throughout the world.

t Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightfiil. We can hardly trpJlzg that;of all the children bom in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty seven per cent, or more 1 than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these’ infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, dr morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons/ Tn any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.

PATHOS IN CHILD’S BRAVERY

Fortitude Shown by Little Sufferer In Hospital Touched Lady Henry Somerset. Lady Henry Somerset, whose labors in behalf of the children of the London slums are constant and earnest tells this affecting story of the way in which her interest in these little ones was aroused: s I was moved in that direction by the rare patience and imagination of one little hoy. His example convinced me that patience wha one of the qualities I needed most, and in seeking it I grew into that work. I was in a hospital on visiting day, while the doctors were changing a plaster cast which held the crippled boy’s limb. The operation was exceedingly painful, I was told. To my surprise, the little sufferer neither stirred nor winced, but made a curious buzzing sound with his mouth. After the doctors left I said to him: “How could you possibly stand it?” “That’s nothing," he answered. ••Why, I just made believe that a bee was stingin* me. Bees don’t hurt very much, you know. And I kept buzzin’ because I was afraid I’d forget about its being a bee if I didn’t” —Youth’s Companion.
