TOWN TOPICS

Mrs. Smith on Smith street just re- gently purchased a Square Rotary Vandergrift Washing Machine for $11.65. She is delighted with it's ope- ration; says it saves her work, and Mr. smith says she is not nearly so cross on wash days now.
 If the lady on Blank street who was recently kicking about high prices in Phoenix will stop trading at the credit stores and buy at DavidsOns' Cash stores she will notice quite a saving iiI the cost of her kitchen things. It pays to pay cash these days.
 A big fat woman stepped into Dav- idson's Cash Store the other day and asked for bottle of Blue Seal Vase line. Laying down dime she started out. Don't forget your change" cried the clerk "They ain't any change ' said the old lady, its ten cents isn't it?" "We sell it at five cents bottle, v replied the clerk. Whats the matter with ft?" said the woman, eyeing 1t critically. Nothing" replied the clerk five cents is our price," Well, I've always paid ten cents. I never do buy anything here but I save money. Guess I'll have to do all my trading here. It was warm, but she walked out smiling. "Got any tents here?" asked a man the other day as he stepped into Cash House Furnishing Goods store on West Washington street. "Yes, sir" replied the clerk. Well, I want two tents and a whole camping outfit, a steve and some cots. Here's the list want prices on. I've been around town for prices. but some one told me to come to Dav- idson's Cash Store and I'd save money" Later: Customer-"WeH, get the goods out on the walk, I'll be around to load them this afternoon some time" ''All right. sir said the clerk, at the same time signing up the sale. we will have your goods ready for you And thus another sale was made in com petition with the credit stores fer cash.
 It is noticeable fact that the cara ful shrewd buyers are supplying their needs at the cash stores more and more each year. The expense and losses attending the credit system rem der it imperative for the credit mer- chant to make those who are good pay bear the losses resulting from thos2 who never pay and it always rankles in the breast of q man who meets his bills to be taxed to keep up the dead beat and the delinquent.

WHY THE HOGS ROOT.
hrs Their Nature to Dig Up the Sof1
But They Can He Broken
of the Habit.

Many of our foremost hog growers
believe if hog is properly fed ON a
variety of nourishing food it will have
no inclination to root, though some
how we have doubts about this apply
ing to all hogs. Forrest Henry. of Min
nesota, is certainly a most successful
hog man, and for years has grown
them in large numbers, but he says his
hogs never root, and asks all doubling
Thomases to inspect his five and ten
year-old pastures, and assures us that
no signs of roofing can be found. Nor
are any artificial means employed to
prevent them from doing SO, other than
proper feeding A writer in Blooded
Stock answers the question, what
makes pigs root?" as follows:
1T is the hogs nature to root. and
nature. has provided them with moi
only the propensity, but the imple-
ments to indulge it. AS the wants of
the animal are supplied without root
Ing, the roofing portion of the pig be-
comes less suitable to the purpose, as
all the improved breeds are shortening
up in the nose and snout. Hogs root
Tor worms and tuDers or grass roots.
These not only aid as a ration of MAIN
tenance but as regulation and condi-
fioner of the system. The desire to
root at the present time is a symptom
usually that the stomach demands
something that IT is not receiving.
Hogs that are fed on dry corn or grain
,eed develop this desire for roofing.
Constipation is another cause for root
ing, as the hog endeavors to secure
that which will relieve it. To prevent
ms condition We would feed plenty of
or wood ashes, also a little
Oil meal, to get them into proper con-
dition. An animal that forms the
habit OF roofing will root regardless of
demands. 1t is as hard to break them
OF the habit as it is the chewing of
tobacco in the human race, and the
only preventive is some system of ring
Ing to prevent the use of the snout."
Selection of the breeding animals has
probably had much to do with the
up of the nose. A short
lever is stronger than long one. and
the short-nosed hog can demonstrate
that the shortening up process has by
no means deprived him of the ability
TO turn the soil or anything else up-

why Sell Young stocks

Have you considered whether It 10 to
your interest to sell the calves, colts OF
pigs at present prices or to keep them
to get the profit of the stockman-to
utilize the pastures, grain fields, and
odds and ends that would be lost, and
that can be made to enrich the farmer?
Would 1t not be better to feed that
feed to stock, both of which you have
been in the habit of selling unfed and
SO contributing to the other mans prof
its, and to the building up of the fer
tility Of his land instead of your own?
The calves might sell for from ten dol
lars to fifteen dollars at weaving time.
One year later they should weigh at
least seven hundred and fifty pounds,
which, at four cents, is $40. Now, to
make this weight very little grain is
required, just make use of the odd
pastures, the extra grazing of the corn
and small grain fields in the summer
and autumn, then the rye and wheat in
winter and early spring; also the fod-
der and straw that was previously vast
ed. These little odds and ends, if used,
add to your bank account. Colts

time, yet there is better money ir

able work stock. Match them well, take
extra pains in breaking, rub them up

Future of the Saddle Horse.

Good walking horses are in great re-
quest, and some fancy figures are be-
ing realized. Like all other kinds of
horse flesh, the saddle horse has been
neglected, resulting in scarcity of
good walking horses. There is bright
future for the breeder of high class
saddlers. Men in all kinds of avoca-
tions that require a lot of cross coun-
try riding want saddle horses, for the
running walk is the only gait that is
just fast enough and at the same time
easy Oh horse and rider-a gait that
can be kept up all day, covering many
miles, and the rider still feel rested
rather than tired cut The farmer
stockman and trader find no better
mounts when riding in quest of stock,
seeing to business on the farm, driv-
ing stock, and in many other such
places where the buggy is not handy,
The doctor finds the horse that can
saddle, just right for his business; in
fact, the country doctor regards him as
a necessity. All kinds of agents make
better time with saddle horse, and
visit homes that could not be reached
with buggy handy. Men of leisure
are very pround of their saddle horses,
and spend much of their time on the
road. Old gentlemen find an early
morning ride on a good horse the best
of tonics. No better mounts can be
found for women than the amblers, for
they travel at rate that is just right
for them.-Agricultural Epitomist.

REAL CORN MEAL.
why the ordinary Corn Meal Of
Commerce is Not as Good as the
Country Ground Meal.

The assertion that cornmeal made on
stones, with water as the motive pow
er, is superior TO meal made by the
best modern roIIer-milIs probably orig
mated in the following way:
Some cnterprising merchant while
sojourning in the country discovered
small water-mili using burrs and
making corn-meal. The novelty of the
situation interested him, and through
curiosity he procured sack of meal,
and taking it TO his boarding place, re-
quested the cook to prepare mush for
the evening meal-a dish of which he
was extremely fond.
=. II proved to be vastly different from
anything of the kind he had ever
eaten, and decidedly better. He was so
pleased with it that he Immediately
placed an order with the miller on the
water-mill for supply of the only
meal on earth, or, as he termed it,
underground meal"
Now, the facts are, he found a
fresh-ground meal, made from good,
sound corn, and a small country mill
is the only place where freshness and
quality in corn meal can be found.
Large mills buy corn the same as the
elevator people, just as 1t happens to
come to market-in large lots, sound,
unsound, good, bad and Indifferent. Or
the other hand, small mills get toll
corn selected by the farmers for their
own use. They also buy selected corn
in small lots, or by the load, with the
understanding that all damaged ears
are to be thrown out. Furthermore,
small mill usually buys ear corn and
shells it as it needs 1t, and in SO doing
selects the best.
Dealers who buy from large mills or
jobbers certainly can not count on get
ting fresh article at least, and the
chances are for a meal made from
bad mixture of corn.
Along this line it is well to bear in
mind that only ripe, sound corn makes
a sweet meal. If dealers could be in
duced to buy where the pure article
can he had, the public would be very
greatly benefited. | believe there are
tons of meal used in the cities that is
little better than feed: in fact, not as
good a feed in the shape of ground
corn as may be found at the average
country mill.
Thorough cleaning and the use of the |
purifier to produce clear meal will not,
however, give sweet favor unless the i
corn ia sound and ripe.-American Mil

Put lambs in uniform lots. They
will feed together better, will fatten
more evenly and sell to better advan

1t does not pay to keep a eve after
she begins to show signs of age unless

Pick out the lambs and wethers that

FARMER AND PLANTER.
LANDLORD AND TENANT.
satisfaction Betwec., Landlord
and Tenant In the South

The landlord of the south works land
IN three different systems: s:-For a stip-
1lated sum-either in money or cotton
ON shares,-when he takes part of the
crop in payment for use of land, and
sometimes stock and tools,-and the
wage system when he pays the laborer
so much per day, or month From the
landlords point of view, the wage sys-
tenn is of the most profit, because the
labor Is worked under a competent
manager, and the place will be better
Kept up and will not detoriorate. On
either of the other systems, the laborer
Is working the land for what profit
ne can make out of it, and he is not
liable TO look after the welfare of the
farm; besides frequently he will do
things just because he knows they will
injure the landlord. There is a feud
between the southern landlord and the
tenant; each seems to believe that the
other is trying to take the upper hand
OF him, and they try to get even, which
generally terminates in each doing all
he can to aggravate the other / have
known landlords to charge large sums
OF money to tenants because they failed
to cut the weeds in their crops, or be-
cause someone had taken a few Of

the tenant,-more because he was
tenant, than for anything else. The
southern tenant is an indolelt, happy
go-lucky fellow, and the majority of
them leave all their bookkeeping in
the hands of their employer; but if an
