The Farming Societies deser►e groat praise for the efforts

they will still encourage Hie (writers by wiring Awes to un-
der►tand that this Is the time for ref Kiwi. Unfortunately,
eac► is the temp,' of muse he.baadses, that the pressure of
Ibis inehrucholy year has pet' them out of humour. But it
should be considered that, according to an sncieut and steady
remark, she. matters are at the worst, they may fairly be
expected to change for the better, tad that the constest er•
cooragemeat which is afforded by those valuable Societies,

forget that it would be flying in the face of the Almighty
to repine at the profuse abundaoce which his great Wooly
has bestowed. However, plenty will not now please, sore
than famine; pace eo more than war. Men, unhappy

and salutary dispensations of Providence. Notwithstanding

sideratioes sliersW rouse our Irish to more industry. Indeed,
to give every nation its due merit, we can boast that, wit►
very little exception, the Irish ere is general industrious,
and well-conducted, partieuhrly that those in oar own dim•
Wet earnest be surpassed by say.
As it is new evident that t►e interference of Agricultural
Societies has been productive of many improvements, a
sincere friend of his country begs through this medians to re-
commend, that they should he this neighbourhood eudeavour
to improve the breed of horned cattle, as %ober districts have
dose. Thiry would -thus p►ssose wealth at home, and
cause strangers to attend our country fairs, in order to pur-
chase a good breed of stock. lastesd of that our district
abounds now with ordinary descriptioes of stuck, which ea■
scarcely be sustained without a loss. It cannot be denied
that oar wealthy fanner", when they want to purchase s
young meek, resort to tie county Westmeath for yearlings.
The fair of &Oysters is well attended by farmers frost the
comely Tipperary, Queer's county. King's county, i.e.;
and large sums of money from different counties are anus-
ally expended in October at the fair of Ballinaslee. These
sums meat hopeeeriek us; proper sweeties to the breed of
ear sleek woold prevent this loss. It is time for the wealthy
landlords to associate, and eadeevour to procure first-rate
bulls, rams, ke. offer premiums fur the heat stuck of each
description, as w, II as fur the produce of tillage, and give
all these premiums for the improvement of farms. By a
little trouble it is 'eldest, that if such measures be adopted
our stuck will improve, oar country will be resorted to, our
Farming Societies will gain renown, our fairs will be well
attended, our cattle and sheep will be purchased, our land-
lords will receive their rents, our country will be estriched„
and Ireland will be celebrated every where for her industry,
mid her breed of stock,
