1.-THE sodhouse of the Kansas and
Nebraska plains is following the buff
falo and antelope into the land of

of Topeka. "A good many of the
queer structures are still standing
and in some instances are used as
human habitatiOns, but most OF them
are used as stables for horses or cat

When ! first went west years ago.
my father took up the acres as far
as the eye could reach in what isnow
eastern Nebraska. There was not a
tree in sight Of the knoll he had Sc
lected as the spot upon which his resi-
dence should be erected, and the
nearest place lumber could be secured
was so miles away. He put up a
small tent in which to cook and eat.
The family slept in the wagons, and
with my brothers and hired man to
help set about making a house.
THE thick sod was cut from the
prairie in slabs about Q feet wide by
8 in length, and on the side OF the
knoll, where an excavation had been
made in it's side, these slabs were
placed one on top of the other until
the required height was reached. 1t
was arduous work, and / remember
what q lot of excitement there was
when my father and my brother

to go after the ridge pole and rafters
that were to support the roof. They
took only the running gear Of our
small wagon, and ] cried like q good
fellow when they started of, be-
cause I thought they had broken up
my pet vehicle.
They were gone nearly q week
and reached home In the middle of
one night after their journey of 100
miles. They had brought q long,
round piece Of timber, like a slender
telegraph pole, with numerous other
small pieces, and my mother nearly

ly displayed q door and two window
sashes, with q bundle of glass for the

when that ridge pole was put in place
and the rafters run down from it to
rest on the sod walls, and then came
the labcrious task of putting on the
sod roof so that it would keep out
the rain and snow.
AT last it was completed, and we
