To THE EDITOR: = Is there any
good reason why farmers living near
Mineral Point, some only two and a
half or three miles away, should
market their hogs in Dodgeville? [
met yesterday on my way to Dodge
vile three of the Lavertys return
ing home after selling their hogs in
Dodgeville, and l met O'Hare in
Dodgeville, having just sold there.
Feeling interested in the matter, |
asked one of the parties why they
went to Dodgeville, and was inform
ed that it was because the Mineral
Point buyers docked them improp-
erly. 1t seems to me that this mat
ter is of sufficient interest to the
merchants of Mineral Point to in
duce them to correct the abuse. 1t
can easily be done by putting a
buyer in the market who will deal
as fairly with the farmers as the
Dodgeville buyers deal. If the trade
that Mineral Point commands Is to
be still further reduced the prospect
is discouraging. The same reasons
that operate to send this trade to
Dodgeville, operate also to send
other portions of it which naturally
belong to Mineral Point, to Darling
ton. T. SCOTT ANsLEY.
