GR.Nrspupa WIS oct. 7. ISIS.

GRAETSBURG, WIS, OcJ. &, 1000.
The origin of the fire on the morning
of Oct. Sd at our marsh was from a large
camp-heater stove which was put up in the
house ~ save the cranberries from freez-
ing. At midnight the mercury had fallen
to IL and some of the berries in the lower
tier of bins were frozen.
The heater had no bottom nor legs, and
was set on sand enclosed in frame of
6-inch boards with six inches of sand
under the fire.
The men, Mr.. Mitchell (who had
charge of the place in my absence) and
Mr. Sandbarg built big fire in the stove,
and kept it up until about 2 o'clock. At
that time the sky was clouded over and
the wind and temperature both rising,
they stopped firing the stove and lay
down to get some rest. They slept about
an hour, when they awoke. The fire had
gone down to a handful of embers; the
stove and pipe were cold. After careful
examination of every part Of the house,
feeling sure that everything was safe
they went to the cook-house, about forty
rods distant from the dry-house, and
went to bed and to sleep. Mr.. Sandbarg
was awakened by some cause and dis
covered the dry-house mass OF flame,
but too late to do much in the way of
Va
berries.
The fire originated, l believe, by the
sand under the stove getting so dry and
fine from the intense heat of the fire in
the stove that it run through the cracks
in the floor (which was a single one)
thus letting the embers down on the
boards of the floor.
/ know that the rule when misfortune
comes is to hunt up scapegoat on whom
the blame is fastened. In this case
fail to find one. l cannot find the men
guilty of negligence in this matter. The
heater had been used in exactly the
same way for four years past in the cook
house, and they had seen it SO used every
season. l do not believe that one man
in a thousand would have thought OF
danger in the direction in which it lay.
Anybody can tell how an accident
could have been prevented after he
knows how it happened.
The loss to Mr.. Hume and myself, as
near as / can estimate, is 100000.

Farmers often deceive themselves
by thinking they cannot afford to buy
a horse blanket. When horses are
not blanketed in cold weather. il they
keep in good condition, they must eat
more to keep warm than horse
blanket would cost. When spring
comes a horse that has been blanketed
all winter is usually worth $50 to 500
more than one which has not been
blanketed. 1t is money in the FARM
er's pocket to blanket his horse. The
ga horse blanket manufacturers,
whose attractive advertisements are
appearing in our paper, are filling q
long felt want among farmers by max
ing strong horse blankets which wear
well. No cloth is more deceiving
than horse blanket cloth, for weak
blankets which will not wear can be
made to look as we'll as new ones.
This firm is wise in using printers ink
to tell farmers how they can buy
good blanket, and in selecting the
columns of this paper which has a
large circulation throughout the
county.

sulky plows, but when it comes to a
