Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old.
fashioned remedy for con.
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's Emulsionisthemod.

the consumptivc. Pork is too

SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but

Preliminary Examination.

preliminary tSdninduon.
The preliminary examination of
Jerry Sheehy, the rancher, charged
with the murder of Dick Harrison
at Lochiel, on Friday afternoon of
last week, was held before the
Justice of the Peace Childers of
Washington Camp on Tuesday
morning of this week. District
Attorney Frank ]. Duffy was pre-
sent on behalf OF the prosecution,
the defendants attorney being Mr..
w. P. wage, of Patagonia.
Twelve witnesses were examined
for the prosecution, Sheehy alone
testifying for the defense.
The facts of the case adduced by
the examination of the different
witness were given to THE OASIS as
follows:
On the day of the killing, Fri
day January fifteenth, round up
was being held in the valley, and
same was attended by both Harri~
son and Sheehy. Jerry Sheehy
was engaged in conversation with
man named Roth when
Dick Harrison rode mp on his
horse and began questioning him
relative TO certain matters pertain
ing to their ranches which are adj
joining. Sheehy answered Harri-
sons inquiries about the water
rights, fences and so on whereupon
Harrison swore at Sheehy and rode
up alongside of the latter's horse
which was headed in the opposite
direction. Sheehy cautioned him
to stop and to be cool, To this adj
vice Harrison paid no attention
but rode up to Sheehy and struck
him in the face with his fist several
times, Sheehy not retaliating.
Both men carried revolvers with
them at the time. Harrison then
spurred his horse past Sheehy and
behind him. Sheehy turned his
horse around so as to face Harri-
son who was following him, and
when they became parallel, both
horses running fast about fifteen
feet apart Harrison being to the
right OF Sheehy, the latter shot at
Harrison twice in quick succession,
the first shot not taking effect
Harrison fell off his horse i'm
mediately after the second shot
was fired The time between the
separation of the men and the
firing Of the shots was between
four and five seconds.
When Harrison fell to the
ground he cried out: Jerry has
killed me-"
All OF the foregoing evidence was
agreed upon in every particular by
all the witnesses called, there being
no contradictory evidence offered.
Justice Childers bound Sheehy
over to the next Grand Jury on the
charge of murder in the second de-
gree, bail being fixed in the sun Of
ten thousand dollars.
Sheriff Turner brought the pris-
oner to Nogales Tuesday night and
he is now in Jail. The case will
come up before the June term of the
District Court of the First Judicial
District at Nogales.

Injury to the boil is also easily recog-

ALFALFA FIELDS.
Conditions That Suit Alfalfa to Per-
fectiOn-WiIl Not Grow ON Acid Soil.

fectiOn-Wiu Not Grow on Acid Soil.
BY A. S. HITCHCOCK.
Alfalfa requires a well drained soil
and fairly good supply of water but
will not endure an excess of standing
water near the surface. It thrives best
where summers are hot and dry and
winters not too cold. 1t will withstand
Il moderate amount of alkali in the soil
In the north it is not usually successful
above an altitude of $500 or 5000 feet
1t can be grown without irrigation in
comparatively few localities in the
northwest, but under irrigation it is ex-
.tenSiyely grown in all the states of
this region and reaches it's perfection
in the hot, dry valleys Of California,
where the summer season is long, the
water supply abundant and the soil
we'll drained. Alfalfa will not succeed
on acid soils, but these are of rare Oc-
currence in the western part of the
United States.
Being 4 legume, it gathers nitrogen
from the air by means of it's root nod
ules and hence acts as a soil renovator.
Although alfalfa is a perennial, q field
usually deteriorates after few years
from various causes. Fields in Califor-
mia as much as tWenty-seven and in
Nevada from thirty-ive to forty years
old are reported, but in most cases
they require renewing much earlier.
Some Specially Troublesome Weeds.
Often the alfalfa fields become in
tested with weeds. The squirrel tail
grass (HOrdeum jubatum) also called
foxtail in Wyoming, barley grass in
Utah and tickle grass in Nevada, is
common in alfalfa fields of the great
basin and Wyoming plateau region,
and wild barley (Hordeum murinum),
also called barley grass and foXtail,
on the Pacific slope.
These two grasses are especially
troublesome on account of the long
bristleS attached to the chaff When
mature they cause serious irritation
in the mouths of animals eating hay
containing the weed. In the Cache
valley and in western Wyoming the
common dandeliOn is very troublesome.
It thrives along irrigation bitches and
invades the alfalfa fields to such an
extent that usually the fields are plow
ed up in from five to eight years and
renewed This is done in the fall and
oats are sown the following spring,
after which the fields are again seeded
down to alfalfa.
The Renewal of a Field.
Alfalfa will scarcely survive stand
ing water longer than forty-eight
hours. When alfalfa dies it's place is
likely to be taken by the before men
toned pernicious weeds.
Some growers renew their fields by
dislzing the bare spots in the spring
and sowing seeds thereon. or even
disking the whole field. Disking is to
be recommended, as it cuts the crown
vertically and causes them to send GU,

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
A Better Adjustment of Some Incon-
venfences Probable In the Future.

1t is not surprising that the rural
mail delivery system should evoke
some opposition. Such a revolution as
it has worked in the distribution of
mail In the country could not be made
without some degree of inconvenience
to some people. But, remarks National
StOckman in commenting upon this
situation, things usually become better
adjusted after a time, and it has been
the general experience that the new
plan is more in favor after the people
have had more experience with it. Our
postal service is not yet perfect; our
rural service, being comparatively new,
Is far from perfection. But there is
little reason to doubt that it is based
on the principle of the greatest good
to the greatest number.
One of the greatest inconvenience is
the fact that the number of money or
der Offices has been reduced so that
they are not so accessible to the people
as before. An effort to remedy this by
allowing carriers to execute commits
sions for money orders has not been
altogether satisfactory either.
But in the course of time this incon-
venience will be partially overcome by
more experienced patrons and carriers,
and we have hopes of legislation that
will make these orders unnecessary
and place in the hands of everybody a
safe and easy plan Of RENTING.
Let those who condemn the rural de-
livery system try it awhile longer.
Most of the complaints come from new
routes, where the change has certainly
not been to the advantage Of part of
the people.

injured in Texas. Damage was eSpe
cially felt in some of the north Tex,
as counties, as Fannin, Lamar, Delta,
Hunt, Hopkins, Kaufman and Van
Zandt. and also in the central Texas
counties-NavarrO, Henderson, Lime
stone, Falls, Bell and RObertSOn-the
loss in each of these counties being
variOuSly estimated at from 20 to 80
per cent of the crop.
According to the estimate of Profess
or Mally, bollworm injury in Texas in
1902 amounted to approximately ST.
100000 and the area most seriously
ravaged comedies rather closely with
that injured in 1908. 1t may also be
said that the shaded portion of the map
marks approximately the area of great
est corn production, and the simple ro-
tation of corn with cotton, so largely
practiced has undoubtedly contributed
to the seriousness of the bollwOrm sit
uation at the present time.
The bollworn occurs throughout most
of the United States and is reported
from many localities in Central and
South America and the West Indies.
1t is recorded from various countries
Of Europe and the orient and from Ha-
