Farming In Arizona

The census furnishes some in- teresting information concerning farming in Arizona which every farmer should know. According to it's figures, irrigation was pra- cticed on slightly more than one half of the farms in Arizona in 1909, being g 5 per cent to be accurate. In 1889 the proportion of irrigated farms among those outside of Indian reservations was 73.8 per cent while is 1889 in was 75.4 4 per cent. It is thus evident that between 1889 and 1909 the num- berof unirrigated farms increased more rapidly than the number of irrigated farms, while the differ ence in favor of the irrigated farms has been even more mark ed during the last decade.
 In five out of the thirteen counties of the state more than half the farms are irrigated; in three the proportion is between 25 and 40 per cent. In the re- maining counties, Apache, Maya jo, and Coconino, less than one fourth of the farms are irrigated. These latter counties are in the northeastern portion of the state. where a large percentage of the the farms reported are cattle ranches, on which the raising of crops is of but secondary import ance. Pinal county shows the largest per cent. of irrigated farms, BPS per cent, and Ora ham county the next largest, 86.1 l per cent.
 From 1889 to 1909 the increase in the number of irrigated farms in Arizona outside of those supp lied by the Indian service enter prises, was 39.8 per cent. This percentage of increase was ex- ceeded in five counties, all but one of which are in the southern part of the state. The highest rates of gain being 1925 per cent in Cochise county, 110 per cent in Yuma county, aud 64.1 per cent in Graham county. In five counties decreases Tn the number of farms irrigated are shown, while in one county the number of irrigated farms re- mains the same. For three of the five counties which show de- creases in the number of irrigat- ed farms increases in the Irrigat- ed acreage were reported. from which an increase in the acreage irrigated per farm IS apparent.
 In 1910 existing enterprises were ready to supply water to 387. .655 acres, or 67, acres more than were irrigated in 1910.
 It is probable that after allow ance is made for an increase in

n LAIN mutton stew under its
 French name of ragout may be
 a trif1e more ornamental on the bill of fare. but it tastes no better.
 Mutton stew is one of the cheapest and most wholesome dishes we have. The neck or breast makes good and in- expensive stews. Cut the mutton into pieces before cooking.
 With Cereal.
 Mutton with Rice.-After the mutton has been stewed stir in three or four tablespoonfuls of chopped onion and salt and pepper to taste. After cook ing for several minutes add half a dozen carrots and herbs to flavor. The herbs may include parsley. thyme and bay. Cook the mutton and vegetables in quart of water for an hour more. Then stir in half pound of rice. Pour q little boiling water over the rice and let it cook about a half hour longer.
 Highly FIaVorod.
 Mutton with Herbs.-Take two pounds of neck of mutton, an ounce and half of four, two ounces of drip pings. a large onion. a pint and half of stock. one carrot, one turnip. herbs in season. two sticks of celery. a to- mato. two teaspoonfuls of red currant jelly and salt and pepper to taste.
 Divide the mutton into outlets and remove all but narrow rim of fat from each. Melt the dripping in saucepan. lay in the pieces of meat and fry them quickly until each side Is Drowned.
 Lift the meat out on to plate. Put the flour into the dripping and fry this carefully until it is a light brown. Stir it now and then lest it burn and give the gravy bitter taste. Next add the stock and stir the gravy untilN boils. Put back the meat and add the bunch of parsley. thyme and marjoram, the sliced celery. onion and quartered car rot, turnip and tomato.

The recount OF votes in Massachus-
etts reveals not a few interesting
things 1t has been supposed that
the difference in results as between
the preference vote and the election
OF delegates was due to the extra
candidate on the Taft side. but In
North Adams the recount shows that
S2 men in that city voted for the
Roosevelt delegates at large and
failed to register choice in the pre-.
ference column. This more than of.
sets the votes thrown out on account
of the Seibedlich candidacy in that
city and tends TO show that quite a
number of voters thought they had
done their full duty when they voted
for the delegates pledged for the can
didate they desired to support. Sc
far as we have noted by the printed
returns. there was not much cutting
of Senator Crane and his associates
by men who voted for Taft on the
preference ballot. II looks from THU
distance as though the Crane buga
boo in Massachusetts were being over
worked by the Democratic newspap
ers OF the Bay state.

Discusses Scheme With Land
Commissioner Judd-Basis
of New Proposition.

Another extensive homesteading
proposition, with pineapples as the prob.
able basis, was discussed yesterday by
Governor Frear and Land Commissioner
Judd, with the result that surveyors
will prepare for the opening of lands
of Waipouli, Kauai, adjoining the Ka-
paa tract which was opened some time
ago and nearly all taken.
There are as yet no definite applica-
tions for this particular land, but there
are numerous inquiries which have led
the administration to decide to get
| ready to offer the lands. In fact there
are a couple of the adjoining Kappa
tract lots not yet taken, but it is
thought that some of the landseekers
will want these and will also want
lots in the Waipouli tract.
The 'Waipoui tract. is an extensive
one, and will probably not be offered
all at once. Surveyors will be sent out
to prepare for the opening of enough
of it to meet any demands likely to be
made in the near future.
There are plans utidar way for the
establishment of pineapple cannery
on Kauai to handle thaRrpduct of the
Kappa settlers, and II will also prob
ably handle the product of the Other
prospective pineapple farmers.
