What Bull to Buy.

The best way to work up herd OF
common COWS, into both deep and rich
mixers, is we think, to "douAle. work"
two good breeds upon it. First, never,
never, no never, use any but flu l.
blooded bull. Second, select for the
first cross, young Fresian bull of as
good family as you can aff,rd to buy.
Use him two years. His get will: be
mostly black and white, or IA dark red
and white. They will be Oh an average
large milk ers-some very much larger
mixers than their dams, and few or
none will be disappointing in this partic-
ular. Third, breed them at eighteen
months old, or older, to as good a
Guernsey buli as you can afford to buy
A Jersey will do very we'll, but the
Guernsey blood will cause less dim,nu

With the Congregational Assembly.
CHICAGO, Oct 16.-The Episcopal con-
vention was opened yesterday afternoon by
the reading of prayer by Rev. c. A. Rich.
ards, of Rhode Island. A message from
the House of Bishops stated that that body
did not deem it expedient to incur further
expense OIL foreign missions. The House
Bishops also returned communication
in reference TO the proposed resolution Of
the House of Deputies to the Congregational
Assembly, which, among other things, de-
clares: 1.-THE House of Bishops takes the
opportunity to assure the House Of
Deputies of its profound sympathy
with the spirit of their resolution. This
house declares lis hearty respect and ar.
lection for their fellow Christians assembled
in this city as a national council OF the Con-
gregational Churches in the United States;
This house also avOws is solemn purpose
under the gu.dance Of the Holy Spirit TO
promote with concurrence OF the House OF
Deputies some practical plan for bringing
before all fellow Christians in this land the
duty to our common Lord and Saviour and
of terminating the unhappy divisions which

the triumph upon the earth Of
Ills glorious Kingdom" The com.
munica,iOn states that the res
OIutiOn was returned with the foregoing
statement as reason for failure 10 approve

The Congregationalists.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.--The Congregations
Council proceeded with its third days work
yesterday morning, when Rev. DR.. JOSIAH
Strong, of Cleveland, presented the report
of the Committee on the American Mission
airy Society. The points dwelt upon were
the necessity of the evangelism of the for
eign population in large cities, the gerera
demands of the work all over the country
and the need of greater financial support
DR.. Walter Nj. BarrOws, of New York
read the report of tho Home Mission
ary Society, which had been on tria
for sixty years. In 1926 it's re
ceipts were $4,000, and in 1885 they
were $685., 5000. Three years ago there were
no German churches in any of the large
cities of the West. Now there were
churches in ST. Louis, Chicago, Omaha and
a promising mission in Kansas City. The

be accessible to religious influences. Suy'
gestions defining what means should be
employed relative to the standing of minis
tiers were submitted. In substance it was
held that the passage into the Con
gregational ministry was first IN or
dinaton and next in recognition by
the sisterhOOd Of churches that
ministerial standing should be lodged
in local association of churches;
that installing councils and councils of rec
Ognit;On should be encouraged, ard that the
distinction between pastors and acting
pastors should be dropped.

Changes OF the Constitutiop-TurnerL Look
ing After the Cash. :.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1S.-When the
general assembly of the Knights of Labor
resumed its session Saturday morning the
discussion of MIR. Dewey's plan for the
establishment of labor journal as the Or
gan of the Older was resumed. 1t was ex-
pected that the debate on the subject would
not be permitted TO continue long and the
reports of the committees on law and re-
vision of the constitution, action Oh which
had been interrupted by the election Of
general officers, would be again taken up.
1t was rull0red that the COMMITTEES
on law had changed its report Oh re-
vision Of the constitution as originally sub
mitted by the special COMMITTEES on the sub
ject so as TO preserve intact the district as
semblies as they exist at present, and thus
remove the objections raised against this
clause of the revised constitution.
At the afternoon session the cnnsidera-
ton of the report of the revision OF the
constitution as it came from the hands OF
committee On law was continued.
Section 1, relating to name, jurisdiction
and membership, was passed without &C
ton.
Section 2, treating Of meetings Of the
general assembly and representation, was
amended so as to change the basis OF repre-
SentatiOn from one delegate for each 1000
members to one for every QUO ami To
an allowance for mileage pay able by the
general assembly. and was then adopted.
Section 3, treating of the general as
scmbiy, was adopted after two clauses had
been amended SO as TO read: Amy geii-
eral officer, whether representative or
not, is eligible to election" and ANY rep.
reseutative or past representative to this
general assembly, or past general officer,
is eligible to election for any office in the
general assembly except that of general
master workman"
In the case of section 4, relating to the
duties Of officers, an amendment was made
by VIII 'ch, in case of the death or resigna-
ton or removal of tho general master work
man, the genera, worthy foreman should
succeed and perform all the duties of. and
become general master workman until tie
next session of the general assembly, when
there should be an election to ill the posi-
ton.
In section 0, relating to State assemblies,
amendments were adopted by which the
formation of State assemblies was made
optional Instead of compulsory. Further
amendments were adopted by winch the
jurisdiction Of existing district assemblies
should remain unchanged unless they them
selves should consent to change.
The general assembly also resolved not
to interfere with national trades districts.
and an amendment in the sections relating
to them was adopted providing that no
local assembly should be compelled to join
district assembly, thus permitting trade
local assemblies to retain their indepcnd-
ence.
Another amendment was adopted provsd-
ing for an interchange Of working cards
with trade unions agreeing to recirrOcato
by receiving Knight of Labor cards.
