within week the father and the three
boys were AT work in the harvest field; the
mother became househeeper in wealthy
family, where she kept the younses; child
with her; the Oldest daughter was still
teaching at increased salary. 4 family
farm company was organized, il being TN
derstoOd that every possible collar went
toward the one purpose Of buying home
which all should OWE This was the
mothers plan. and It's eiTec; was marvel
lous. 1t made men OF the BOYS; il made
tine father forget his former losses; il
frightened the whole outlook. Every cent
saved was deposited where it drew interest.
Before long. some leading gentlemen OF the
town became interested in the home-buyin ing
plan, of whinh they had heard, and did
what they could 10 procure steady work
for the family. This, however, was sell
dom needed, Tor their steaGiness and
anxiety 20 earn their wages were Iemarka-
Die, and they were seol in constant de-
mand.
At the end of the first wear the hONe
purchasing company rade a creGitablc
showing. The daughter, teaching al $40
a month, had sent 500. The three sons
and their father had averaged $50 month
apiece besides their board, sEd they had
spent nothing they could help. SO ,ha,
81, 200 represented their pile; while the
mother added $3.50 These three items
aggregate together with the interest, 81 SIS.
The beginning was made.
-Four wears Of steady, accomplishing toll
followed. In 1876 their accumula,ions,
compounded semi-annually at seven per
c9ntum. amounted TO "a, 350.72. 1t would
have been more but for some sickness in the
family. They then chose quarter section
of good fertile land lying north Of San
Francisco Bay, in one of the CUas. Range
valleys. The price was 500 an acre, or
81, 600 in all. They paid $4,000 d)vn,
bought teams, moved on the place, paid
the balance in one year from crops and out
side work, AMI are making it one OF the
pre;tiest farms in that whole region.
This is Z truthful account of how farm
was lost and another gained in its place by
plucIiy American family. whose idea Of
= Lome-huying company" ought % be
remembered.

The recent fire at Kansas City illustrates
two things; The fac. that powdered starch
contains explosive qualities, and the cordl-
tons under which a starch explosion NAV
occur. 1t is not essential to an explosion
Of tbs kind that the puivcrized dust be dis
tribUted in explosive proportions through
the whole Of the air All that is necessary
is that a sufficient body Of the dust be ig-
nitcd to produce u volume OF flame. This
flame once started will fire tine remaining
dust scattered through ,he room. even ii
the quantity he small. The starch dust.
which created an explosion in the Wash
burn mill, was small in quantity, but when
once kiudicd, flashed through the dust Of
tina. entire portion of the mill Emyloycs
in all three instances, describe sudden
flash of light preceding the explosion. An
experiment in the matter may be easily
made. \ handful Of finely powdered
starch thrown bodily on the lire will not
produce an explosion: there will be only
ordinary combustion. But If similar
handful of starch powder be thrown up
ward and allowed to descend H ciObd,
on an intensely heated furnace, there will
be an instantaneous explosion; and if the
whole ROOM where the explosion occurs b.
filed with even very light cloud OF starch
dust, the explosion occurring at the furnace
will he extended throughout tie room, and if
there I've other adjoining roons in ike man
Ter charged with starch or -four dust ami
the doors be open, the explosion will ex-
tend through The whole building. These
facts are quite Sufficient 10 account for the
explosion in Kansas City, and now that the
matter is understood it only requires little
precaution to prevent the recurrence Of
such catastrophies. But il should be rc-
mcn.bcred that there is in 4 flour mill
danger similar to that which exists in Il
candy factory. H. each case there is likely
jo be q cloud OF starch dust which upon
the cJnCJ~rcncc Of the proper conditions
will produce disastrous explosion. Pull

be guarded against, as well rs puiverized

THE CENTRAL FAIR.

The citizens of Watertown and the
surrounding country are of course inter
ested in the coming fair of the Central
Wisconsin Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, which will be held OF the
fair grounds in this city from September
22nd to Goth inclusive. We deem it I'M
necessary to urge upon our citizens the
Importance of taking the necessary steps
to make the exhibition this year sue
cess far beyond any of its predecessors.
In this laudable undertaking they will
have the hearty cooperation of the of
ticers of the society who are determined
to leave nothing undone that will add to
the interest of the fair and the pleasure
of the exhibitors and visitors. The year
has been crowned with a bountiful har-
vestssand with an infusion of renewed ener-
gy in all branches of business there is no
reason why the Central fair should not
feel the impulse sufficiently to place it
foremost in point of success among the
exhibitions to be held this season. Let
all interested work for contamination of
this much desired result.

WE ARE SORRY.

It is the easiest thing in the world to
stir up the men who run the opposition
organ here. This is the way we intend
ed to start off, but the language is not
courteous enough to please our refined
neighbers 50 we will try again The gen
teel, refined and cultured gentlemen who

weekly with their graceful and facile
pens were aroused to as near anger as it
is possible for high-bred persons to be,
at the appearance in this paper two
weeks ago OF an article copied from
the Jefferson Independent 1t may
occur to some that the Independ-
ent intended the item in question as
a burlesque, especially SO far as it re-
ferred to the one mentioned for COVER
nor, &c. We confess it did look a little
like it, but this idea is dispelled when we
place that estimation on the young man
which he places on himself Then it
could be no burlesque as every one knows.
But enough of him. What surprises us
most is that the Independents candidate
for Lieut.. Governor, &C., should not be
pleased. with republication of the article.
He has had political aspirations for years,
and the height of his ambition seems to
be nothing more or less than to secure a
handle to his name. We all know that
a few years ago he came so near being
elected to the Assembly that he delighted
in the thought Of how surprised his
friends IN the old country would be to hear
OF his election to a legislative body in
America. We would add parenthetically
that his friends have survived all such
shocks up to date. Now, a man who
came so near being a member of as
sembly that he calculated the effect his
election would have on the old world
ought not to think it a burlesque to have
his name mentioned in connection with
the presiding officer of the senate.
together with several other offices of mi
nor importance. We shall not copy
anything from that naughty Independ-
ent again.

A PERVERTED STATEMENT.

The picture presented by The Demo-
GRAFT last week in connection with the I'M
ceremonious and almost heathenish burial
of Henry Emerson, better known as the
old broommaker, was one we'll worthy Of
rejecting on the good name of the COM
munity and faint on the Christianity of
the day; but we are happy to say the
whole story SO repulsively drawn as to
shock the sensibilities of every one pos
sessed of the least particle Of humanity
had no foundation whatever in fact the
writer having been either misinformed or
for some reason best known to himself
started story which could have no other
tendency than to bring the religious in
stincts of our place into ridicule and con-
tempt. To show how reliable The Demo-
crat is when it undertakes to chronicle
events as they occur, we would state that
no funeral of the deceased Henry Emer-
son was held here his remains being for
warded to Whitewater where he had re-
latives reside, and there were bnried in a
decent christian like manner. There
was no ''rattling of his bones over the
stones as asserted, everything connected
with the transportation of the body from
here to its place of interment being per-
formed in as quiet, kind and orderly man
ner as possible. Had the funeral of Mr..
Emerson been held here many of our
citizens stood ready and were prepared
to accord as fitting and proper obsequies
over the remains of the deceased as were
rendered at Whitewater.
