A Letter From Sandy 
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 20, 1913. 
“Nebraska’s game and fish laws as they are 
to-day need little taampering with. We have a 
reasonable open season for upland plover and 
turtle doves to break the monotony in midsum¬ 
mer, and that is about all that is to be desired. 
The laws as they are enforced are excellent.” 
A Sioux City reader of the Forest and 
Stream, who had seen my story published in one 
of the magazines about the Aquatic Rabbits, 
writes me that while up at Stoney Lake, Minne¬ 
sota, fishing last summer, he met with the follow¬ 
ing experience: “I was fishing by hand line for 
walleyed pike, out some hundred of yards in the 
lake, when I saw what I took for a young duck 
of some kind, in the water a few dozen yards 
away, playing and diving and having all kinds of 
fun. I had my companion pull up and anchor 
and I pulled over toward it, to see just what it 
was. Well, it wasn’t a bird, or a duck of any 
kind, but a mouse. We succeeded in catching it 
after a lot of chasing, and it was shiney gray in 
color, with a bunch of hair on the end of a rather 
long tail, and with long, rounded cup-like ears. It 
was a dandy mouse, all right, and not in the least 
frightened at our handling it. We, of course, let 
it go. It ran along the bottom of the boat, then 
jumped on the gunwales, and, after wiping its 
face, with its little, pink paws a second or two, 
gave us a parting glance, and went overboard, 
just like a diver. But, mouse, as it was, it was 
just as much at home in the water as any duck, 
and after it had swum off and gained the shore, 
I was sorry that we had not kept it, if for noth¬ 
ing more than to have had it identified. I have 
been a visitor to the Minnesota woods for many 
years, but this is the first mouse of the kind I 
have ever seen or heard of.” 
In regard to an inquiry in a recent issue of 
the Forest and Stream, asking about the planting 
and sowing of wild celery, about transplanting 
and the cultivation of the plant, with the view of 
attracting wild fowl, I would say, that while I 
cannot give detail directions, I really think that 
transplanting is the most feasible way of repro¬ 
ducing the plant. 
It grows in rather generous quantities in 
many of the chain lakes, two hundred miles west 
of here in this state, where the canvasback, red¬ 
head widgeon, bluebill and other ducks resort in 
great numbers, both fall and spring, to live and 
fatten on the nutritious roots of this plant. The 
seed blossom is produced on a small spiral stem 
and floats upon the surface of the water, but I 
think seeds cannot very well be gathered in con¬ 
dition or quantity for sowing. But as it grows 
annually from its roots these can be gathered in 
almost any quantity desired, and no doubt would 
readily grow and spread if transplanted in suit¬ 
able places. The bulb of the wild celery is a hardy 
growth and will keep for several years, if stored 
in a dry place. The water, where it should be 
planted, may be from six inches to six feet in 
depth over a mud deposit of at least two or three 
inches deep above the clay or hard bottom where 
the plant is made. It should be planted in the 
fall, after they have matured, but before ice is 
formed—somewhere between the first of October 
and the middle of November, and another fall I 
intend to gather a quantity of the roots, pack 
them in moss and keep them to supply parties who 
desire to experiment with the transplanting. 
There will be no expense outside the packing and 
shipment. Later on I will let you hear from me 
again on the subject. It is really strange how 
few sportsmen there are who are able to distin¬ 
guish wild celery from dozens of others of our 
aquatic plants.
