Answer know of no reason why you
should not clear up the ground at any
time that may suit your convenience, or
by any method that will be most conven-
lent to you. The best time to do the
work is the latter part of August. The
limbs may then be cut off the trees and
they will die at once, and the trees will
stand several years. and when they fall
or shall be cut down. they will burn
readily when dry. But at this season Of
the year you will find it difficult to get
rid of the stems and limbs of the trees,
unless you can utilize them for fuel,

Answer.-The question whether nux
vomica, or strychnine will kill hawks
and will not kill chickens has been pretty
fully discussed in these columns-ln De-
tober ard November. 1901. and it seems
to be as far from satisfactory solution
as ever. Most of people have been bred
up in the belief that the poison will Kill
hawks and not kin chickens. and are not
going to give it up without a struggle. 1

SHIELDING CORN.

W. T. c.. Rome. Gal have Just stu

with your tests as to the value of

| fully ripe and shocked until fall, and
then shredded. do for seed?
Answcr.-Corn cut and shocked at the
proper time is not affected in regard to
its terminating properties or any other
quality. It makes just as good corn for
any purpose ana just as much of it as If
! the stalks were allowed to mature in
the usual way You say when the fod

time when the fodder is ripe. We are
not governed so much by the condition
of the fodder as by the condition of the

| the time or little later. when farmers
would originally pull fodder" and most
| farmers at least the most intelligent
farmers. are governed in pulling fodder
by the condition of the ear of corn, and
not by the condition Of the blades
Will say that we cut and shock all of
our corn every year, and we use it freely
for seed and for all other purposes for
which we require the best quality Of
corn II there is any difference a all
between the corn from the shocks and
that from the stalks ripeued In the usual
way 1t IS in favor of the corn from the
shocks.
You need not hesitate to cut and shock
the corn. After a years experience, if
you shred the stalks properly you will
no doubt admit it has proved to he the
greatest Improvement you have ever

Why Is II :?
 THAT PEOPLE TRADE
 AT A CASH STORE. Because People Fir:d

that the goods sold in a cash store averages cheaper than they do at the credit stores. Cash stores always have and always will save their customers money. The credit stores of Phoenix are not extortionate in their prices. None of them have grown very rich selling merchandise. They get no higher prices than they must 10 pay the expenses of doing business and a reasonable rate of interest on their in- vestment. But it is reasonable and sure that with the inevitable losses they sustain resulting from the credit ;ys1 em, the extra eXre 1se oi hook . keepers, collectors and capital invested in book accounts compels them to get mcle for their goods. The elimination Of these expenses and these losses en- ables the cash store to sell hundreds of useful articIes at lower prices.
