TAMA FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Successful Three Days Meeting Held
in Traer.

Special to Times Republican.
Traer, Feb. 1.-THE Tama county
farmers institute which has just closed
a three days session here, was the
most successful institute ever held in
this county More real enthusiasm
among the farmers has been aroused
than has ever been displayed; more
fine exhibits and a better program.
Plans for next years meeting are all
ready we'll enough Formulated to give
evidence of one of the pest farmers
gatherings in northern Iowa. The farm
ers in Tama county seem to be
awakening to the fact that they are
now conducting the biggest business on
the face of the globe and generally
with the least scientific knowledge.
They are eager to learn and are COM
ing to the front in large numbers with
financial aid which heretofore has
largely been borne by the towns in
which these institutes are held. Every
thing points to a big institute next
year.

HERE'S A FISH STORY.
Tons Of Bull Heads Clog Tile Terni-

Special to Times Republican.
Clarion, Feb. AT Elm lake. five
miles northeast Of this place, a rather
peculiar situation exists. For the past
four years the local nimrods have been
trying to stock the lake with game fish.
This city heretofore has depended on
Elm lake for its ice supply, but this
year none was taken out and the fish
have no air except where drain tile
empties in the lake, and these places
have become literally clogged with bull
heads. There has been at least ten
wagon loads of these fish scooped out
and piled up on the shore. In this way
they expect to get rid of at least a lot
of the bull heads and give the game
fish air and chance for their lives.

Biggest Year
for Building
City Has Seen
Total Cost 81, 204,14O, as Against
81, 590,650 for the Activi-
ties of 1908.

Greatest in the history OF the city is the
record OF the permits issued by City Build
ing Inspector Withheld during 1909. The
total cost Of buildings this year is S2.613, 400
in excess of the total for 1908, being yI.2O, 40
against 1850, $50. OF
This may be called the year of store and
office buildings and apartment houses. For
the former the value of permits this year
is $2,I2,575, against a value OF similar per-
mits in 1908 of only Sl22, 800. In the apart
ment house column this year the number of
buildings, is almost exactly doubled. while
the cost is set down at S293,OO0, against
sos. 500 in 1908.
The record for dwelling houses is bettered
both in number and cost over 1908. Per-
mits were taken out in 1909 for LO92 houses,
at a total cost of $2,7S1, 435, while last year
the number was 1000, at a cost Of 81, GAS, 1855,
In the natter of new buildings the present
year fades 1908 into dlmness. Last year the
total number erected was LIE, this year
1885. Total cost of new construction this
year 6,916, $50, against $4,S03,OoO last year.

BIG GAIN IN SHEEP RECEIPTS

The years record in the live stock bust
ness in South Omaha, as indicated by the
tabulatlons of the Union stock Yards com
pany. has been a good one. According to
General Manager Everett Buckingham, all
the interests seem satisfied.
we nave had what ! call a rafting
good year" he says. while we nave not
broken the record for cattle or sheep, we
have crowded so close behind that the
practical results are the same. We have
lost about 2S9, 600 in the number Of hogs re-
ceived, but, at that. South Omaha has the
best comparative record OF any of the
markets. The decreased number OF hogs
received, owing to the high prices, makes
the years output of hog products even
greater in value than in 190S.'
The actual receipts of cattle at the Union
stock yards at the close of business Fri
day, December 81, 1909, was 1.124.61S, while
the record year is 1907 with 1,15S,716 The
receipts for 1908 were low, being 1,O36,5 $40.
During the year 2,229, Ol6 hogs were re-
ceived, a decrease Of 2S9, 1858 over 1905, which
was the record year. Receipts Of sheep
for the year amounted to 2,167,O Ola, an in
crease Of 62,065 over 1908. This figure
breaks all previous records.
The highest price ever paid for hogs in
South Omaha was paid in the month of
December, when $3.50 was paid.
The following tables form the basis OF
the above computations:

that next years output will show a big in
