THE FORTY-EIGHTH STATE.

Arizona became q state yesterday, when
President Taft signed the proclamation adj
hitting it into the Union, Its entry Will
probably close The circle for many years to
come, since, excepting the District Of Column
bia and Alaska, there is now no territory left
in continental United States on which TO
draw for new commonwealth. No one out
side the federal district can think seriously
Of erecting it into q state, and Alnska'S de.
%Velopment is bound to be tedious and uncer-
tain. The territorial form Of government
will undoubtedly suffice for its need for two
or three more generations. There remains
the prospect that Texas may decide to take
advantage of the stipulation under which 1T
was annexed, which permits it to subdlYlde
into five states. But that prospect is remote,
since Texans have an intense prIde III the
immensely of their state and look for
ward to the day when it will be the most
populous and powerful commonwealth IN the
Union. Statehood for any Of the insular
possessions is a still remoter probability,
since such a step would involve II dangerous
modification Of national policy.
The forty-eighth state in order of admis-
sion ranks fifth in area. 1t covers ll3,O2O
square miles, less than half the area OF lex
as, with 265,780 miles, but we'll up to the
three next largest California, with loS $50;
Montana, with LAG, O8O, and New Mexico,
with 1872, $50. In population it ranked forty
fifth in 1910, with Delaware, Wyoming and
Nevada below it. It's growth etween 1900
and 1910 was unexpectedly rapid, the actual
gain in inhabitants being 81,423 and the
percentage of gain 6G.2. Arizona seems to
have passed safely the stage of stagnation
in which Nevada so long languished. As a
state it WIZ not be another Nevada, since its
population is now more than twice as large
as Neyada's and more than five times as
large as Nevadu's was thirty-hve years after
acquiring statehood.
The development of irrigation has turned
the deserts Of the Southwest into tlllable
land, only awaiting the coming of the water
bitches. Arizona is therefore not likely ever
to be classified as q ''sagebrush" state. 1t
will develop a substantial agricultural pros
perity Of its own and easily keep abreast OF
the general growth of the country. Like
Oklahoma, it has shown itself somewhat colt
ish in it's political ideas, but it will probably
soon steady down and become q credltable
and sanely progressive commonwealth-Nee0

MERITS or COCHIN VARIETY
Excellent Producers Of Eggs II Win
ter and Young Chickens Are
Fairly Good on the Table.

Cochins have certainly the merit Of
laying well ID winter, due probably to
their profuse feathering, which pre-
vents undue evaporation Of heat
Young chickens are fairly good on the
table. but when older they cannot be
regarded as even passable in that re-
spect. The flesh is at all times very
yellow, and more largely developed
on the thighs than the breast This
Is due to the fact that Cochins are not
flyers; they have only small wings,
whilst very large ones would be need
ed TO support such a heavy frame.
The weight which Cochins attain Is
very good indeed. AdElt cocks range
from twelve TO fifteen poundil. hens
eight to eleven pounds. and cockerels
and pullets two to three pounds less.
They are very hardy, and a stand
almost any place and soil, but they
do best on short, level grass. for the
foot feather is broken and spoiled
when on long grass or rough ground.
