Money il Hogs.

The farmers of Anderson are learn.
ing that they can make money in
many other ways besides raising cot
ton. We know man who is max
ing lot of money raising hogs. He
kills the hogs on his farm; several
miles out in the country, and brings
the dressed meat into the city, selling
it readily to butchers and direct to
consumers at cents per pound. He
has killed 35 or 40 pigs and shoats
this spring, and has thus realized a
nice sum of money at time of year
when money is usually scarcest with
the farmers. The cost of raising
hogs is not very great, and with the
market that now exists for fresh
meats and the like, the wonder is that
more of our farmers have not seen
the opportunity and engaged in rails
ing hogs for sale Anderson Mail.

Pay Up Or Marry.

In the Argentine Republic they
have solved to their own satisfaction
the "bachelor problem' by the simple
method of making it cost an unmar-
ried man as much money to live In
unmarried bliss as it would cost him
to marry. A man is manageable in
Argentine when he is twenty. If
from that date and until he passes
his twenty-eighth birthday he wishes
to remain single, he must pay SIS a
month to the state. For the next
five years the tax increases 100 per
cent. Between thirty. five and fifty,
the bachelor is mulcted to the tune
of $40 month. From his fifteenth
year to seventy-fve, $50 a month is
the tax, but having reached the
seventy-ffth year, the tax is reduced
to $40 year. After eighty, man
can remain single without paying
anything. There is paragraph re-
lating to widowera, who are given

An interesting experiment has been
carried on at the artillery ranges at
Steinfeld, says the Chicago Journal.
It is commonly known that a balloon
is extremely difficult to hit. A balloon
was anchored at the height Of $500
yards, the gunners being kept in
ignorance of the range. It took
twenty-five shots to get the approx
mate range, but it was not till the
sixty-fourth round the balloon was
hit, and then only slightly. How
ever, the small tear was sufficient to
bring it slowly to the ground.
