of a cheap kind Of fuel: The man.
moth Russian sunflower makes the best
kind of fuel. / have been burning
turf for sixteen years, coal for twelve
years and sunflower for three years. |
prefer the sunflower to anything else.
| grow one acre of them every year, and
have plenty of fuel for one stove the
whole year round, and use some in an
other stoye besides. ] plant them in
hills the same as corn, only three seeds
in hill, and cultivate the same as corn.
cut them when the top flower is about
ripe, let them lie on the ground two or
three days. In that time / cut off all
the seed heads, which are put into an
open shed with "a floor the same as a
corn crib. The stalks are then hauled
home and packed i'll common shed
with a roof on. When cut in the right
time, the stalks when dry als as hard
as oak, and make a good hot fire, while
the seed heads with the seed in them
make a better fire than the best hard
coal. The seed being very rich in oil,
it will warm better and burn longer,
bushel for bushel, than hard coal. The
sunflower is very hard on land, and the
piece Of land selected to plant it on
should be highly enriched with ma
nure.n

it seems that the saloonkeeper aforesaid still
"holds' IL, or at least the "sports' cannot get
their hands on it. Some of them called on
him a few days ago for their wagers on sepa-
rate states and were dumfounded when told
by him that he had bet the money put in his
hands and lost il.
rhe men who are out Of pocket have no re-
dress, as there is no way In law by which
they can reach the saloonkeeper, but some
OF them are swearing vengeance, and say
that they will "take it out OF has hide The
betters say that he employed Que or two we'll
known men about town to go around and
make bets, he furnishing the money, tho
sum total OF the wagers always to be placed
i'm his hands TO hold until the result was

IT sometimes does appear that the
devil is not so black as he is painted.
VIM. ii. Vanderbilt has been compared
TO Shylock demanding the pound Of
flesh because of his holding mortgage
on all Of Gen. Grants possessions TO
secure his loan of Sl50,000. But public
opinion took different turn when Van
derbilt returned notes and mortgage as
a free gift to Mrs. Grant. To make it
mere interesting, Gen. Grant refuses to
accept the gift and declares the debt
shall be paid. There is some hope that
this congress may do tardy justice, and
put him Oh the retired list of the army.
