- Having tried every variety of fuel
out West, the Minnesoteans have finally
hit on an entirely novel one. Wood is
not to be thought of, as the country is
entirely prairie, and vii! not grow it well,
and coal comes too expensive and is not
to be had at all off the line of the rail-
ROADS. During last winter corn was used
by many persons, and a large number of
firms dealt in it as fuel. It is now dis
covered that the best substitute for wood
is sunaowere. They grow rapidly and
luxuriantly, aud when dried, burn we'll.

I planted their extra land in sunhowera

lies, residing but short distance from
Sternette, becoming alarmed at their
small supply of wood, came over to his
house, and it was agreed that all three
families should pool their fuel, aud thus
try to weather the winter. Notwith-
standing this combination, their fuel ran
out, and they used all the railroad ties
and telegraph poles they could dig out of
the snow; then the houses of the other
two families were, little by little, torn
down and burned, and nearly ali their
furniture went the same way. Another
family had lived como time on soup made
of an OK hide.
