MARKETING HOGS PROFITABLY Last fall wheii the "slump" occur red this paper, with the assistance of Mr. T. J. W. Broom, the county farm demonstrator, sought to impress upon the farmers of this section the fact that there are many ways of making money on the farm besides the culti vation of cotton. The raising of hoes was especially urged, but people were skeptical of this venture, claiming that the local butcheis were always over-supplied with meat, and would Offer but little more, if as much, as the bin packers were p;iyiru. They lost Bight of the fact that there are ways of preparing pioduce for the market that considerably enhance their value, resulting in many pass. tig vp the opportunil.' foi nvemie thus afforded. But others v r. not so ea sily discouraged. A Vi;-:: i.i ve:....u Was Oil.'

Dressed they might bring as high as He but the shipping charges would be even greater than as live weight. When I suggested belling them on the local market ev er one said it could not be done. We are in the country, with only country tow us nearby where every one raises thnr own fresh meat still we had to ell 'em. "A woman alone on a farm with three little folks to care for can't af ford to lose, so 1 had one killed, rut it mvt-lr into neat cut such as the Northern butchers use. saving all the craps for lard and sausage, making as much as possible into sausage which I packed neatly into one pound prints using butter paper to wrap them. ' "Then I racked the cuts of meat and sausate into a clean box, armed myself with a generous sample of sausage and went to one of the -v.o meat markets in a town near i s. Taking my sample in I asked the butcher to have it cooked and try it the sausage I knew was good, be ing made Just as it would be for our on table. The neat packages and the quantity of the sausage together w ith the careful trimming of the meat sold my first lot in spite of the fact that the town was flooded with both sau-, sage and meat of inferior quality or J r-irlr ! ; "Every week since then brings an-: 'other and larger order, and each of. i those 10c pigs has brought home. from 22c to 25c a pound. I have re ceived more than the packers price per pound, though I was told I could i not compete with the big companies." j ' Gasoline Tax Now Effective, j (From the Statesville Landmark ! . The tax of a half cent the gallon; ion gasoline, imposed by the last Leg-; iislature for road purposes, is now ef fective. The autolst should not object i to the half cent additional for road' purposes, seeing how necessary good ; roads ate for the automobile. But he . mi itrotmhlv allege and believe that' the gas dealers will use the tax as an ; excuse to boost the price. The auto owner will also pay a little more li-j cense tax this year, which isn't cause for complaint, seeing that it is used; for his benefit. In this conenction , even auto-owner who believes in the! rqua're deal should constitute himself) .a committee of one to report every auto-owner who drives with an out-of-date license tag; al-o those who try to get by with dealers" taus. It is' bad enough to evade tax laws on general principles, but an owner who! tries to dodge the road tax has some-, thine coining to him and she should i get It.

' Mr. M'ule" Ai"er to IVobleni- To the Kditor of The Journal: My attention has been invited to a mathematical problem published in your issue of the 22nd instant, en titled "A hard nut to crack." aud was requested to write a solution of It (or publication. The solviug of the prob lem is not a very difficult matter, but it properly requirei the employment of the rudimeuts of elementary alge-! bra. and bavins been informed that you haven't proper type for settlnj up t an algebraic demonstration, I am loath to undertake the task of com-: plying w ith the request. I shall, how-: ever, endeavor to write an intelligible j solution without using the algebraic symbols. ' If $22. SO Is the annual premium paid on three-fourths of the value of, both buildings, then in the same pro-' portion. 130.00 would be the prem ium paid on their full value. ' Then 25 times the value of the house plus 100 times two-seventh.; thereof, equals 300,000 (converting decimals into whole numbers). Then clearing the fraction two sevenths, and dividing both side) '. the equation by 25. we have 15 times the value of the house equals JM"1''' and one-tifte nth of $S4oOO Is 5fi"' the full value of the house. Two-seveuths of $56;U Is $1600 the full value of the stable. Three-fourths of 500 is 4200, and 4200 multiplied by 25 cents oer hun dred, equals $10.50 the premium paid, on the house. ' Three-fourths of $100 Is $12e0. and $1200 muhiplied by one dollar j per hundred equals $16.00 the prem ium paid the stable. Then for an ' answer we have: ! Value of house. $"600.0fr; Value of stable. $1600.00; Premium on house. $10.50: and 1'remium on stable. $12.00.
