Tbe general disiike for milking and attending to tbe details of dairying lu tbe south has contributed to slow de velopment In this industry. Any one who has traveled to any extent througn tbe more unfrequented part of tbe cen tral south at once recognises this fact, remarks Iowa Homestead. In a great many of tbe states a large portion of the dairy products used la brought In from neighboring states. It Is estimated that not "mere than • per fent of butter aiu1 cheese used in Ar kansas Is produced within tbe bounds- rise of tbe state. While the paucity of the homemade products Is probably grantor In thtt state than In any of those adjacent it nevertheless points to a good opportunity for the develop ment of good dairy herds and factories for the ruakiug of butter and cheese not only In Arkansas, bnt In a good part of the southwest.

The duratiOu of the flow of blood ap peared to be about one and a half seconds, and toward Its termination tbe force gradually diminished, as noted by s course of drops down tbe wall and along the floor to a position almost under the sjjot where tbe rep tile bad lieeu held.

Perhaps tbs greatest aid to ful fruit production today Is co-opera tion. Many small lots of good fruit are sacrificed in the wholesale market of our large cities became they ara lost sight of In the gnat bulk e< stuff arriving. Large consignments receive consideration that is scarcely, worth while to giro to a few odd boxes or packages. It would be a great advan tage In shipping If the growers at one point could co-operate and send their fruit not aa smaH Individual consign ments, but as car lots. Commission merchants are glad to come to the growers and buy at tbe railroad If they can buy from a company, society er exchange, but they have not the time to hunt up growers to buy small lota. An association of growers can employ an agent to keep in telegraphic touch with market prices, while few individ ual growers can. An association can secure uniform grades of fruit and can do a large business under a known Mg demand for eVen the byproduct* of ; brand. Baskets and fertilisers can be the dairy.
