Special to The State.
Anderson, March 80. About q
month ago Mr.. r. S. Ligou of
this city brought here from the
west carload of live hogs,
and they were attacked by chol-
era soon after reaching Anderson
The animals were at once quaran-
tined and Mr.. Ligon went to
work to cure them. Out of the
lot of 100, he now has 62 living;
the other 1O7 are a total loss. 1t
is said that many farmers living
in the county are troubled this
spring with cholera among their
hogs. Mr.. Ligon gave Your COR
respondent his remedy for the
disease, which he says, did more
good than anything else. 1t is
as follows:
Take one bushel of slaked
lime, one bushel of common salt,
one pound of pulverized copperas
and mix dry. Then put gallon
of mixture in five bushels of oats
and soak in water for 10 hours.
Then feed to the hogs. The hogs
MAY not eat it at first, but keep
other food from them and they
will soon eat it and like it. This
should be fed to the hogs two or
three times week If they are
threatened with cholera, aud of
tener if the disease has already
attacked them.

To Make A Town Grow.
A Set OF Rules Whose Efficacy
is Guaranteed.
Charleston Evening Post.

Mr.. S. A. Fishburn, secretary
OF the Commercial club, of Dal-
las Tex, has prepared a set of
rules for making a town grow.
lie guarantees their efficacy. Here
they are:
l. Join no organizations look
ing to the upbuilding of your
town. This will prove an en-
enlargement to those who give
their time and morey to sustain
such organizations.
2. Impugn the motives of
those who join and charge them
with desire to advertise them
selves. This inspires patriotic
men to work all the harder for
the public good.
8. Pour cold water on every
new home enterprise, predict its
early failure, and contribute to
that end by patronizing its rivals
In other towns. This will en-
courage others to put their money
in home enterprises.
4. When a committee calls on
you for a contribution to any
good cause, act like sore-hesd>
ed bear, and yield up what you
90 give as begrudgingly as poss-
ible. This lightens the burdens
of the committeeman and sends
them on their way rejoicing in
their work of love.
5. When strangers visit your
town let them wander around
alone and enlighten themselves
by reading the signs and pumping
the professional loafer. They
will carry away delightful re-
nembraDce of their visit and ad-
vertise the town where yer they
60.
6. "Cuss out" your public
officials Ito their backs, of course)
and accuse them of everythlp @
from petty larceny to high trea
son, no matter whether you can
substantiate your charges or not.
This will prove keen incentive
to the complete fulfillment of
their official obligations.
7. Whenever your town pa
pers differ in the slightest with
your ideas of public policy, de-
clare that it has been brought up
and promptly cut off your patron
age. The editor will turn the
other cheek and redouble his eff
forts in behalf of the town and its
'good people,"
8. Oppose any enterprise
which is not in exact accordance
with your own ideas. This will
be conducive to that spirit of
concession and unity which is nec-
essary to progress.
9. Give sparingly,lf at all, to
movements for the general good
OF the town, even if you are the
largest property cwner in it. This
will spur on to greater exertions
the public spirited citizens your
tewn now has and induce the
coming of others.
10. Observe these rules close
ly and there can be no doubt bout
the growth of your town. 1t will
grow and continue to grow-up
in weeds until it shall ultimate
ly become a fit habitation alone
for hats and owls.
We believe that some of our
people already understand and
employ the principles here formu-
lated but they are not enough to
make the system completely of,
fective. A wider employment of
the rules will accomplish some
thing definite. Now is the timo

Moons Vegetation.

Whether OF not there really is vege.
tation on the moons surface is a mat
ter of some dispute. Prof Pickering
believes that there Is. basing his belief
upon observations Of what he has
called variable spots portions which
exhibit a rapid darkening. beginning
shortly after sunrise, followed by an
equally rapid fading toward sunset. ac-
companied by a diminution in size as
they darken. From the peculiar char
acter Of the variation observed Prof
Pickering concludes that organic life
resembling vegetation is the only sim
pie explanation Of the changes which
he has observed. Considering the long
lunar day as a miniature terrestrial
year, the theory Of such life becomes
colorado. The vegetation, IL there be
any. shoots up, fourishes and dies in
a lunar day just as it Erows and with
ers on earth in a terrestrial year
