Messrs. Douglas have made an experimental plantation near Trinidad in the Texan Pan Handle. They believe that the absence of trees from these places is as much from the tramping of buffaloes, and from fires, as from any obstacle nature presents, and have bravely undertaken to prove their faith by works. We have no doubt but they will succeed. Most of these dry lands hold water from the winter snows, and when once trees get their deep roots into the moist substratum, why should they not live?
