In replying to an address presented
to him recently at Westport, County

bishop of Tuam, made the following re-
marks on Temperance:

know that many respectable family

Heaven because either or both of the
parents INDUCED in the unholy vice of
intemperance. Many child living to-
day has reason to curse his fathers

the sacred laws of Temperance. While

Native Animals.

If there is one animal more than an
other which fits majority of uses, it
is the native. The native COW supplies
most of the milk, butter and cheese;
the native sheep supplies the mutton
and wool, and the Morgan horse, a
native originally, with but very little
blue blood in him, is the most useful for
the farm, the saddle and the road. The
special advocates of the various pure
breeds are entirely justified in their
claims for the excellences of their fa-
yorites, which have special uses. but
are not justified in their efforts to make
farmers believe that these animals are
suitable for every use and each is the
most valuable of all kinds. Much in
Jury has been done by too enthusiastic
claims of this kind, as many regretful
investors in Jersey cattle have found to
their cost. The amateur farmer who
can afford it may spend his money to
please his fancy, but the working farm
er should be carefui how he completes
