Thursday! evening a crowded house greeted Rev, j Hansford and listened with the closest attention to his fine address. The Music furnished by the male quartette Was very fine, and the song by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh was heartily encored. Although Friday was a rainy day, tho I church was filled with earnest workers | and eager listeners. Throughout the Convention the devotional exercises! wore spiritual, the papers excellent, I ifta discussions spirited and of great] benefit to us all, and we hope at soma future time wa may again have the pleasure of entertaining the McHsnry OonntyW, T.

N*iiiSt»ably there is less need df aftvi-1 •ing farmers to reduce their herds khan there has been for twenty-tire ] years. Still It is a matter of Impor­ tance. The drouth which led to the decrease of many herds during the last year, was/«Q4 entirely universal, *&d the temptatioih^gf low prices led some who were outside of the drouth | districts to buy more stock; and then 5 It Is possible that manyj carried over, I oven upon short feed, more cattle than they need. It used to be the rule to | . keep all the cattle that a farm would * carry, and we know how it worked. It | glutted the markets, and together] with some other causes, made cattle A growing a very unprofitable branch j of business. The® rule now certainly ought to be to keep tbe number of cattle withla reasonable limits, and the only way to do this Is for each one I to limit his own herd. But there are Buy herds whtch would be greatly benefited by being thlned out. I whether there are as many cattle as | the farm ought to have or not. Look •ver the berd and remorselessly sacrl- ] floee the poor animals, whether they are cows or bulls. What do the calvea I promiset If nothing, get rid of them a* soon as possible. An animal that gives no evidenoe of its ability to pay a profit on the food oonsumed Is good for nothing.-- Western Mural. Furniture! Furniture!!
