encouragement of the Society. It requires a large amount of 

 thought, labor and capital to [)roduce and exhibit a good breed. 

 The cash profit may not always pay large for the effort, but the 

 pleasure of accomplishing something worthy of being exhibited 

 and seen, and the feeling that we are doing that which will make 

 the world of humanity more healthy and happy, by being better 

 clothed and fed, should amply compensate any one who has am- 

 bition and enterprise enough to engage in so honorable a calling. 

 Let us keep up the effort to produce and exhibit our stock*of 

 cattle to as great an extent as our means will warrant in doing 

 well, for in doing well whatever we undertake we make sure of 

 the greatest profit. 



James Comins, Chairman.
