Dear Sir: Business men always take a business magazine or paper. It keeps them up-to-date in their business; tells them what others are doing; keeps them posted in all matters of interest, and saves thRm monpv. Farming today is as much a business as any other. Farmers need a paper like The Farmer's Advocate. It keeps them up-to-date in farming methods; fells them what others are doing; keeps them posted in all matters of interest, and saves them money. Out of one issue of The Farmer's Advocate you can get information and good sound, practical advice that will repay you many times the price of your subscription. This paper is a friend of the farmer. It is exactly what the name iurpliee___Farmer's Advocate—the advocate of the farmer's interests, first, Iast and all the time, For this one reason alone every farmer in Canada should be a subscriber. We have no other aim but to serve the farmer and protect and promote his best interests, and nothing can turn us aside from this aim. The Farmer's Advocate bas no political preference, is free, tearless and independent of all outside control. Its proprietors are farm men, Its editors are farm bred, and it owns a model farm of 187 acres four miles from where the paper is printed and published. These are things no other farm paper in the country can claim, and with you, as a farmer, we know they will have weight. Consider this! Nearly all our readers send in their sub- criptions each year OF THEIR OWN ACCORD. This fact alone will tell you how valuable The Farmer's Advocate must be, and there are over thirty thousand good Canadian farmers reading It week by week. Farmers' wives and children are not overlooked either in its make-up. Our Home department is in itself wo h the money to farm women, and its wholesome influence gas been felt in thousands of farmers' homes throughout the land. We will gladly mail you a sample copy, and you will lines, that the same high standard is liiaititained in the paper week- by eek-by week. Let us send the Farmer'e Advocate into YOUR home every week for a year.

The dates for this year's fair are, as most of our readers know, Thursday and Friday, Sept, 28th and 29th. This year's fair will excels all previous years by way of special attractions and as the Fair needs only the support of every citizen of Wiugham and the surrounding town- ships to make it au unparelelled success. The Winghaut•Fair belongs to the peo- ple and upon their interest and loyalty it depends for a large measure of its success. The directors are putting forth every effort possible this year and trust that the'snembers will not be indifferent but will boost it. The horse races and the extra large list of special attractions will themselves draw a huge crowd, and the exhibits of cattle, roots and veget- ables will also be greater this year. We believe the people of this district are be- coming alive to the benefits of a good exhibition of the products of the farm and factory in such a central business locality as Wingham. With the richest and most fertile farming district sur- rounding it for a distance of twenty miles on either side Wingham should, and will, we trust in future hold a very high place in the fall exhibitions of the province. The Fall Fair is something for the people to work for and to mike the fac- tor that it 18 iutended to be in the life of the district. that it serves, 11 is a grave mistake to suppose that the of- ficers and directors of the society are the only persons interested in the success of the fair. Primarily Fall Fairs were or- ganized for the purpose of affording the fanners an opportunity to conte together to compare their stock and farm produce 'Willi the object of bringing about an im- provement in breeding and quality. This purpose has never been lost sight of and With the increase in their wealth, the improvement of their herds and the change in farm methods, farmers have it iu their power to take a greater part iu the affairs of the Agricultural Society than heretofore. Its success is perhaps more dependent upon their 0 -operation than at any time iu the past and if they co-operate in the proper spirit they can assuredly make a bigger success of the hal$ Fair than has heretofore been pos- sible. To encourage farmers to take this larger interest the premium lists of the Wingham Fall Fair has been amend- ed from year to year in keeping with the improvements and changes in the meth- ods and character of the agrioultural in- dustry of this district. Members of the Society—particularly those who are en- gaged in farming—would do well to re- member that suggestions looking to the further improvement of the prize list will always be welcomed by the Directors, The district which Wingham Pall Fair serves has made substantial progress in. stock raising iu the last ten or twelve years. There are many splendidly bred horses, herds of fine cattle, well-bred sheep and pigs on the farms in the town- ships served by ' inghant Fair—many more indeed, than there were ten years ago. This progress should be reflected in the improvement in the livestock ex- hibits at the Pair. This improvement will be seen only where farmers recog- nize that the Fall Pair is thefts and it is up to them to co-operate in making it a success. They have the stock, the grain and the field roots, vegetables and fruit to make au exhibit unsurpassed by any other Fair in Cauada. Let every farm- er, thea, who has some good horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, field roots, vegetables or fruit bring them in next week. By doing so he will help the Fair ea, if he has not heretofore exhibited, will find au interest and a satisfaction that have hitherto been uakuowu to him. While much of the foregoing has re- ferred to the part farmers have in making the Fair a success, it is not to be under- stood that the farmers are the only peo- pie who should take en interest in the Fair.
