Giving calve. Good Care.

If allowed to run down in condition
during the fall. Flies and heat, In
company with short pasture, have
laid the foundation for more than one
runty yearling.
Give the calves ample cover, a dry
sheltered place to sleep when cold or
stormy and ample fresh pasture or .
little grain as shorter days come on.
When winter finally sets in see to It,
whatever neglect the older stock have
to take, that the calves are kept thrifty
and loose skinned until well started
into the winter, and then keep them
thriving. 1t costs very little to do this,
and 1t costs great deal to make pre-
sentable yearlings of them II neglected
first winters. ,ll..i

Al.ike clover.


Alsike should not he sown on high
dry land. 1t Is not adapted for that
purpose This is because 1t has a short
fibrous root system. It differs from
common red clover in this respect.
Both red and mammoth clovers have q
tap root which penetrates deeply into
the ground, enabling these plants to
gather moisture at lower level than
1t is possible for the roots Of alsike clo-
yer to do.
1t Is on account Of the long tap root
of red clover that 1t cannot thrive in
wet soils, whereas alsike clover with
Its hallow-growing, fbrous roots rev.
els in moist soils and fails to do well
on high dry areas. Those. who SOW
alsike clover for hay like 1t especially
well on account Of the fact that 1t ma
lures little later In the season than
red clover, and consequently ripens at
the same time as timothy does, thereby
making better crop to be grown with
timothy than red clover. s'l

Cane which has been sown broad-
cast can be handled best If It Is cut
with the mower and put up in small
shocks. Some prefer to cut 1t with n
harvester and bind 1t. If that is done
the cutting must be done early, for the
stalks soon get too large for binder
to handle; and then the stuff is diff
cult to dry out when 1t is bound up In
bundles.

Amongst the good things and advantages there arc in Nogales the Sisters Hospital here is per. haps not as widely known as it should he, in view of it's many con. venicnces. There is hardly any serious sickness, or case requiring operative treatment that cannot be treated here, to greater convent. ence, and at much less expense to the patient, than to go to California or more distant points. There is in the hospital a we'll fitted up modern operating room, with all necessary adjuncts and require ments; there are comfortable bed rooms; we'll prepared food, with dietary as prescribed; and the most kindly and ceaseless attention on the part of the good sisters; who as they get mighty little reward for their service in this world, 1t is to be hoped will get more in the next; and in regard to skilled medical attention, it can be said there are we'll experienced physicians and surgeons in Nogales. And although as already observed, the hospital and its advantages are not yet as widely known as they might be, yet one surgeon alone of this town, assisted by his confreres, has per- formed sixteen operations within the hospital, all under anesthesia, in about five months, the opera tions including the setting of com. plicated fractures, curetments, amputations; etc., one recent oper- ation being a complete removal of an enormous fibroid uterus with its diseased appendages, and the rapid recovery following, evidenced the skillful surgical technique, and that the subsequent good care in the hospital was equal to anything obtainable elsewhere.

New Steamer Line.

Visiting Guaymas at present are Mir. and Mrs. Joseph K Smith, from Seattle, Washington, and this is their first visit to the Sonora metropolis. Mr. Smith comes as the general manager for the British Coast Steamship Company, with headquarters at Victoria, British Columbia, which is arranging to establish q new line of steamers plying between Victoria and all points along the Pacific Coast, clear to Salina Cruz, the most southerly in Mexico, including Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, Mazatlan, Guaymas and other points. The steamships, which sail under the Norwegian flag, are two in number. They are the Thordis and the Transit, each of about 5000 tons burthen, in di- mensions 300 feet long, thirty feet beam and twenty feet depth of hold. They have a thorough ventilating system, for protection of fruit and cattle, with first class passenger accommodations. Each vessel has a speed of twelve knots per hour. They will ply between Victoria and Guaymas, via Mazatlan, touching at the ports named above, and at other intermediate places.
 The line to Salina Cruz will not be inaugurated until arrival of a new steamer now in course of con- struction in Norway, and building on lines adapted especially to service along the west coast of Mex. leo. The new vessel is to be named Viking" and will be of light draft, to enable entrance easily into shall low harbors, and 1t will be speedy, reaching a maximum of sixteen knots per hours. It will have first class passenger accommodations, and special refrigerating appara- tus, for preservation of tropical fruits, etc., in transit. The new steamer will ply between Guaymas and Salina Cruz, calling at all way ports, and making connection at Mazatlan with the other ships of the line plying in northern waters.

Misinformed.

Through what was considered reliable information THE OASIS stated last week that Doctor Fer guson, superintendent of the terri torial insane asylum at Phoenix, had gone insane from the effect of the injuries he had received at the hands of an insane patient at the asylum, who had not been consid- cred dangerous. The information was decidedly incorrect, and it is incumbent upon this paper to make admission that it was misin- formed. Tine following telegram from Phoenix is the first intima- tion the editor of THE OASIS has received of the error:
 PHGNIx, Ariz., Nov. 2. MR. BIRD,
 Editor THE OAsIs," Nogales.
 Doctor Ferguson is mentally in fine condition There is no truth about his being insane. Please correct statement in your paper of the 10th.
