PROF. HU1fISTOS'S Pr TENT
We have from time to time published
articles in the ADVANCE upon the
Holland process and upon Prof. Hum
iston's invention for generating heat
and light. Elsewhere we publish an
other article upon the same subject
from the Chicago Tribune.
The correspondent, however, mixes
his facts q little. The new process was
not patented by DR.. Graham but by
Prof. Uumiston. We have before us a
circular headed "IIumiston's Apparat-
us for Generating Heat and Light
Patented by Il. +. llumiston, jane p,
1879. Adopted by the American Heat
and Light Company of Philadelphia.
The Holland apparatus used crude
oil and water both. The water coated
the pipes and prevented the success of
the process. Prot. Ilumiston invented
an apparatus in which he uses crude oil
alone
We arc glad to hear that the success
Of the Professors process is assured, and
we certainly wish him unbounded sue
cess. May lie make ten times as much
money as he SINK in the National Col
ony, and have the satisfaction of seeing
his process in general use. In prairie
country like our own, it would forever
settle the fuel question, and enable all
those who are now burning hay to be
Christians. Il thing which, we hear, is
impossible to any woman who has to
depend on hay for fuel.

We continue this week our series Of
articles on farming in Southwestern
Minnesota. We are satisfied that while
some have failed the past year to pro-
duce paying crop, owing to 3 variety
of causes, the great majority OF the
farmers in this part Of the State have
done we'll. Some have done exceeding
1y we'll and demonstrated ti1at there is
no surer road to Independence than in
cultivating our prairie lan;;s.

HOW To co IN TIE MACK f1ILLH
a correspondent Of the Sioux Cit,
journal writes up Fort Pierre for tina,
paper and tells thus how to Get al
the way to the fills:
The way to reach this famous gate
way to the Hills from the east or south
IS to take the Northwestern train at
kasota Junction, Mimi, on the Sioux
City and st. Paul road, better known
:s the "inona and St. Peter, which
leaves at breakfast time. At Dime,
time you must change cars again at
Tracy, for tho ''branch' or dakota
Central road. The afternoons ride
reaches Huron where o E'slceper' is
attached and the following morning
at day-breos you arrive st the present
terminus, Pierre.
And if yon want to go on to the
Hills, thus:
SO the ten;;erGoot that would 30
still nearer the setting sun say, that
Dea1wood, B. H., is 2G2 miles from
Pierre, that the stage makes the trip
in thirty-sM hours for the sum of $25;
that the coaches are iirst-class, as
also the eating honses on the vav
