Thirty of the 5-1 cheese factories scattered throughout the mountain regions turned out 481,000 pounds of Cheddar cheese. Silos modern dairy barns, and purebred dairy cows are becoming common. "Fifteen years ago dairying as an i industry had scarcely started in the j Southern States,'* said a specialist in ' the Dairy Division, United States De-1 partment of Agriculture. "The South ? probably has made more progress in t the last 13 years than any other sec- 1 tion of the country.

"Dairy development began in the Southern States shortly after 1906," said one of the specialists, "but the improvement was slow at first.

"From a local standpoint," writes one of the Federal agents of the Dairy Division, "the establishing of j dairying in the boll-weevil districts of Mississippi has been one of the' greatest achievements. Anyone . ac-1 quainted with the despondency of farmers in 1912 in southern Mississ-I ippi, and who was enabled later to see the change wrought by the dairy j cows, will agree that enthusiasm for dairying is well founded in a region that was floundering for some means of livelihood, now changed to a country in which the farmers are supplying whole milk for New Orleans and other points. This means good methods are being used." diamondsTni south africa Qramatic Incidents Attending First Discoveries of Fields. The recent discovery of a rich diamond field in the Orange Free State recalls the dramatic story of the first finding of diamonds in South Africa. One day, just 50 years ago, Van Wyk, a poor Boer farmer, saw one of his children picking out a pebble from the mud with which his rough, single-storied house was plastered. Upon looking at it, he found that it I was a tiny crystal which, in the sun's rays emitted vari-colored lights. An examination of the walls of his house revealed scores of simila> pebbles, which flashed back tin> rays of light from their dark setting. His curiosity was stimulated He picked out a few of the pebbles showed them to an expert, and discovered that his humble walls wen iitterally encrusterl with diamonds. Thus was revealed the secret ol one of South Africa's richest hidder treasures, soon to be famous throughout the world as the Dutoit span mine, and destined to yiek tons of millions of pounds' worth o diamonds within the compass of ; single generation. For every tin: pebble in Van Wyk's mud wain there were diamonds worth hur. dreds of thousands of pound awaiting discovery beneath the bar ren acres of his farm. N/t long ago Van Wyk had awak .Tied to the discovery that his wau were sprinkled with diamonds, > dramatic incident revealed the se crct uC a treasure equally rich a fev mWAYt a.

One blazing1 June day, so the stor..s told, a. young Englishman, named lawstornc, roaming over the veldt, run in hand, in search of sport lung himself down, exhausted by lis tramping and the fierce heat of he sun, for a siesta under the scans' shade of a thorn bush. I As he was playing idly with tlie and by his side, he discovered * jebble which flashed back the sun's avs in jets of fire. Even to his unvalued eye the stone thus brough* , > liglit was a d'amond of uncom* non luster as well as size, and his conviction was confirmed when, on lis return) he showed it to his host. Thus it was that a fortunate : iesa revealed the famous Kimberly nine, the riches of which have daasled the eyes of the world for a feneration. Within a few years after young Rawstorne's hunting trip the mine vas yielding an annual 7,000,000 jounds worth of diamonds. Claims ittle larger than many a drawin** room were changing hands for 15,000 pounds (.$5,000) and li,00i? pound($85,000) and the bare veldt on which he took his rest, and wh^h le could have purchased for a few ^hillings an acre, was worth almost uncountable millions. Nor was the tale of romantic discoveries bv anv means ended. Rid ing out one day at sundown to Diing in his horses from the veldt, i Boer farmer saw a small animal, called a meercat, industrially scraping earth from its hole. Some peculiarity of the ground so thrown up led the Dutchman to fill lis hankerchief with it, and after iie had stabled his horse by the light of a small lamp he examined the earth. To his astonishment he found i three-quarter carat diamond. Further search at the meercat's hole repealed other diamonds, and the secret of the Wesselton mine was discovered. A few months later 450,000 pounds ($1,250,000) was refused for thn small farm on which the Dutchman had made his accidental discovery. The De Beers company was glad to purchase a quarter of it for 175,000 pounds ($875,000) and since that Jay it has yielded many of the purest diamonds the world has known. De Beers, Dutoitspan, Bulfontein, Kimberly ami Wesselton, such are the world-famous mines which have been discovered within a few mile* i>f Van Wyk's mud-plastered "farmhouse. Within the memory of men who do not consider themselves old, a fovv Imnrlrpfi timmds at thf> mitsiflf! would have bought the land which for so long had hidden its treasures from the world's knowledge. Since that time these mines have yielded diamonds to the value of between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 pound; in a single year, and their output so far has exceeded 100,000,000 pounds ($500,000,000.) And all these riches have been the fruit of a sequence of accident almost absurd in their trivility!?London Answers.
