 MT. W. E. Matthews of Huntsville the owner of Signal Lilly Flag, the champion cow of the world, told of the character of food given her, treatment etc., and the gentlemen listened to him with very great interest, each one hoping to some time raise Lilly Flag and make himself famous in the stock world.
 At 1 o'clock the association adjourned to meet again at 3, occupying the interval by inspecting a patent air process churn made by St. Louis concern.
 At the afternoon session no business of importance was transacted, though some of the discussions gone into by the mem bers were very instructive and calcu- lated to be of immense benefit.
 "The butter industry of the United States is of immense importance. In round numbers there are from $5, 000, 900 to s15, 900 worth sold annually in each state. In 1890 Illinois produced 95,000,000 pounds, worth about $20,000. .000; Wiscon- sin 45,000,0O0 pounds, worth $9,000000; Iowa 10O000.000 pounds, worth $21,000- 900; Minnesota 42,000,000 pounds, worth $S,000,0O0; Michigan 4O,000,00O pounds. worth $7,500,000.
 'The capital of all the national (and registereO banks in 1885 was $64O 100000. while the assessed value of the cows of the country was $700,000000.
 'It is estimated that there were 1,200,- 000 900 pounds of butter manufactured in the United States during 1890. The an- nual dairy product exceeds in value that of the lumber, wheat and iron interests combined"
 The above clipping from the Farmers Bulletin was read by member, who, in commenting on 1t, called attention to the fact that not one southern state was mentioned, and gave 1t as his opinion that in the dairying and stock-raising industry lay the fortune of the southern farmer and the death of King Cotton.
 The following resolution was offered by Chairman Scott and adopted by the association:
 Resolved, That the thanks of this, the Alabama Dairy association, be given to fho Pif-r1inphan1 ARn-Hlral6 M0nfQOnn- cry Advertiser and the Southern Agri- culturist and their representatives. who are so literally aiding us."
