FARMERS ELEVATOR
Fort Dodge May Be the Location For a
New Cooperative Grain Concern
Great Western to Aid the Project.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge. Dec. 21.-A farmers
elevator is being strongly talked of for
Fort Dodge, and the probabilities are
that there will such an institution To-
Gated here within the next few months.
Already a dozen of the leading far
mers of this vicinity have come to-
gether to talk the matter up, and they
are all very much in favor OF it. Gen.
eral Freight Newell, Of the Great Wes-
tern, has promised that his company
will donate the ground; and also vol
unteers to send an elevator man to this
city to meet with the farmers who ex-
pect to organize, and be prepared to
show them plans and specifications Of
elevators that will supply the needs Of
the projectors.
e. j. Larson who has been one of the
prime movers In the matter said to a
newspaper reporter:
IAN elevator is surely one of the
greatest needs of the city Of Fort
Dodge. At the present time there is
scarcely one thing to draw the farmers
to this city. There is no buyer of hogs
or cattle here, and there is no sale of
corn with the exception of what the
feed stores of the city take.
"On my way from Des Moines some
time ago, there was slight freight
wreck which delayed the passenger at
Gowrie for about three hours. While
1 was waiting there saw great strings
of farmers coming into the city from
all directions, and each had big load
of grain. 1t was all due to the far
mers' elevator located at that place.
II took note of what was going on
in that place and then thought OF con-
ditions in Fort Dodge, where there is
only an occasional load brought IN to
the feed stores. 1t struck me very for
chilly that it is time this city provided
some sort of market for farm pro-
duce. The Farmers elevator, OF all
others, is the best idea.

Cattle Feeding Light.
rT;,vo,+o.1. vxron1d1

There is no census to tell US how
many cattle are on feed at any particu-
lar time and figures are purely guess
work, based on the supplies sent out
from various market points and from
information CLEANED from shippers. 1t
has been shown in the past that re-
ports of this character are not reliable.
In fact, shippers from the same neigh
borhood do not tell the same story in
many cases. It is only a surmise at
best but the general opinion is that the
feeding now is very much short Of
what it was a year ago. There are
many cattle feeders Of the jump-in and
jnmp-out kind who are generally in
and out at the wrong time. Last win
ter many feeders lost money but it does
not necessarily follow that the same
fellows would lose money this winter
for conditions are different. yet most
of them are staying out. Low prices
for all except the choice cattle is a
boyle to large number of spasmodic
feeders.

The Horse Market.

No change is noted in condition of
the horse market. The best sellers are
those with quality and weight, while
common kinds, such as farm chunks,
are weak. The general market, how
ever, is quite up to expectations, and
decidedly better than this time last
year. The close of the year usually
finds orders restricted to actual needs
and everything of speculative nature
is eliminated. The same holds true
now, but urgent orders are more liber-
al. Reports from the eastern mar
kets are to the effect that trade is on
a steady basis, with Indications for a
good strong market after the holidays.

weak cables wheat here today develop

How to Market the Rutter.

Those who possess the knack Of max
ing butter that has that fragrant
flavor that distinguishes the produce OF
many farm dairies, often make the mis-
take Of keeping the butter on hand too
long after it is made before marketing
it. 1t will be found that however pal
atable it may be. and however good
the flavor it possesses when first made,
1t will have escaped after too long
keeping. Even when transported long
distances it loses its distinctiveness
while in transit. In fact, it seems that
butter which possesses to Il large de-
gree this much desired flavor deterio-
rates much quicker than an inferior
kind. AS consequence Of this. the
farmers wife who makes a superior
article which has local reputation for
excellence should endeayor to dispose
Of the product to local trade. or at
least sell it so near home that it will
be but day or two between the churn
and the customer. This can be easily
managed in almost any locality where
there Is market for 1t by securing a
list of private customers and furnish
it to them direct as they need it, This
class Of patrons are much more profit
able year in and year out than the city
hotels or the commission houses or
those customers who buy in the gen.
eral market

A SIBERIAN BLIZZARD.


A blizzard on the Siberian desert Is
a dreadful thing. The author Of I'm
Search OF Siberian Klondike" tells
of being overtaken by severe snow
storm. The dogs lost sight OF the
trail, and the snow came down so
heavily they could hardly see the lead
ing dogs, and 1t was deemed the safest
thing to stop and endeavOr to protect
themselves as much as possible from
the storm.
With our snOwshOes we dug down
six feet to the ground. making an exca-
walton about eight feet square. Placing
the three sledges round the edge OF
the hole, we banked them in with
snow. Then we took a tarpaulin from
one Of the sledges. and with walrus
hide rope improvised sort Of roof
over our dugout.
The dogs dug holes In the snow and
settled down comfortably to sleep.
They were almost Immediately covered
with snow.
At this time the thermometer stood
thirty-five degrees below zero. We
could not tell whether 1t was actually
showing or whether the snow was only
being driven by the wind; but at any
rate the air was filed with 1t. and
the prospect was anything hut exhil-
arating. We lined the bottom Of the
hole with furs, got out our sleeping
bags. and prepared for a long siege.
wifi
to eat cold food. Frozen reindeer meat
taken raw is not an appetizing dish,
but this, together with hard bread and
pounded soup ball. formed our diet for
the next few days. In this snowy pris-
on we were held for four days. and we
were obliged to climb out every three
or four hours and relieve the tar
paulin of the weight Of snow. Our
furs were damp caused by our breath.
which CONCEALED. and thawed again
from the warmth Of the body. To say
the very least, we were extremely UNI
comfortable.
AT last 1t got so bad that ! gave Or
ders to burn one of the sledges, and
that day we Toasted on hot tea.
To while away the tedious hours l
gave my arctic friends some lessons In
astronomy, using snOwhalls as object
lessons. On the side of our excavation
! made a rough bas-relief of the great
Masonic Temple In Chicago. They
looked at it very politely, but | could
see that they took me for the past mas
ter Of lying.
