The Farmers Shipping Co., COM
prised of Society of Equity members,
shipped carload Of hogs from this
station to the Chicago market last
Wednesday. The company has handled
a good many carloads of farmers stock
from Stoughton this season on 35 cent
per hundred commission basis. At these
figures almost any live stock dealer
would like to handle the farmers bust
ness, we imagine. Remove the uncer-
tainties of losing market and the dan
ger of loss in transit and 35c is quite
likely to be surer profit than the av-
erage stock dealer makes, at least that
is what men who have been in the bus
ness tell us.

season, and no one through any fault
of the agent shall be deprived of the

brance of friends. They are cautioned
to assist shippers in preparing consign-
ments in proper condition to stand
transportation, see they are properly
marked and dispatched promptly.
