Rules on Egg Keeping
Town Admirer.
Mr, Editor
Having been a visitor to your town
for several weeke, during which time
I have thoroughly enjoyed myself
baying been so fortunate as to have
my home while here at the Brunswick
Rotel which I without hesitation pre-
nounee one of the best kept houses in
Canada, the foams being large and
r sl
airy and kept ecupFuou y clean,
while the dining -room is equal to the
bast to be found in large cities.
1 must congratulate tbe citizens of
Wingham on the very tidy way that
-everyone keeps the residences and
grounds, which with the beautiful
shade trees to be seen on all the re-
sidential streets made Wingham a
very charming place to live in. Mr
other thing I Could not help admire is
your beautiful Churches, especially the
Methodist, which is one of the most
up -to date I have yet seen in any town
of the size of Wingham in Canada, and
which I certainly will advise any con-
gregation thinking of building to see
before deciding what kind to build.
I did visit the Presbyterian Church on
Sunday evening, June 28tb, where I
was given to understand a red hot
'sermon was to be preached on the
subject of 'Belisle the Bar', which sure
enough proved to be correct, in con-
sequence of which I did not think to
pay any attention to what the church
looked like inside, only to notice that
it the same as the Methodist was a
O:edit to the town.
I have also found the citizens of
Wingham to be a very superior class
of people, so unlike those in the large
cities where there are so many foreign-
ers. Only one tbing that I being a
Grit was very eorry to see namely,
that there were so many of three very
bad Tories in town and throughout
the county, as I know the way they
treated the Bolish the Bar candidate
must have nearly killed the Presby-
terian parson. I must not fail to tell
you about a very narrow escape I had
of losing my life during my stay.
Cn the morning of the 29th, although
I was standing in front of my name-
akes Mr. Mill's store, talking to Mr.
Moore and Mr. Young when I without
looking up to see who he spoke to
beard the new comer say be had not
yet made up his mind who he was
going to vote for which caused me to
make the remark that I supposed be
was waiting to see which side was
paying the highest price for votes,
which caused the great big long legged
individual to go up like a cork out of
a pop bottle, who immediately gave
me to understand that he would not
allow any body to hint that be would
sell his vote. As I had not taken any
lessons in the manly art of self de-
fence since I was a bey hest no time in
assuring him that I would not for one
moment think of such a thing as that
a fine looking gentleman as he would
do such a naughty thing as to eell his
vote. The story of Pat and the bear
came into my mind, which says that
one time when Pat was out in the
woods he saw a bear coming for him
so that something had to be done
mighty quick so as Mr. Bear had his
mouth wide open Pat shoved his hand
down the bear's throat, caught him by
the tail and jerked him inside out.
In Hamilton when a man is so batty
that he cannot take a joke he is gen-
erally put up in the Bug bouse on the
mountain. I thought that such a
thing might be as that the cranky
individual might have been doing
some tippling, as you very seldom find
a sane, sober man acting as he did,
but as I hear he is a temperate man,
I will refrain from making any further
rentatks concerning him.
Now lastly, as the preachers say I
notice that you haye your front street
very nicely paved which adds greatly
to the appearance of the town, I also
notice that the owner of a couple cf
red cows instead of having them
brought home on one of the back
streets allows them to be driven in
each morning and evening to be milk
ed right over the nice paved street,
which makes the pavement look like
a star spangled banner and dangerous
for citizens to crow; even in daylight
unless they have very good eyesight.
Thanking you for the valuable srace
t:ekenup. Iam
An admirer of your town.

The Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture has for some time been con-
ducting a campaign of education on
the egg question. Mr. A. H. Wilford,
Produce Dealer of Wingham says
that as a result spoiled eggs are at a
minimum. During the hot weather
in July out of one lot of 450 dozen
which he received there were only
0 spoiled in all. Mr. Wilford says
that the campaign of the el gricultural
Department through the literature,
which they issue and the publicity
given to same through the press has
worked greatly to the advantage of
the producer and consumer. The
following are some of the rules which
the department have laid down :-
1, Provide plenty Of clean, dry
nests for
your our hens.
2. Gather the eggs daily in cool
weather and twice a day in hot or
rainy weather.
3. Do not wash eggs. Use the
dirty, email, very long and grass
stained eggs at home,
4. Keep eggs in . a cool, dry place,
which is free from odors.
5. Market your eggs twice a week
if possible.
6. D.tn't sell eggs which were found
in a stolen nest.
7. Keep the eggs out of the eon
when taking them to town.
8. Don't keep eggs near oil, onions,
etc., as they readily absor b odors.
9. Don't sell eggs known to be bad
or which have been in an incubator.
It is dishonest.
10, Male birds should not bo allow-•
ed with hens, except for breeding pur-
poses. After that period, kill roosters,
save feed, and improve your egg pro-
duct.

Mere Worry For the C. N. R.
For its right-of-way through the
Don Valley the Canadian Northern
railway has been ordered by the
Privy Council to pay $332,803 to the
owners of the brick works there. It
is to be hoped that this heavy judg-
ment will not interfere with the
completion of the trust deed which
must be signed before the issue of
the bondsguaranteed by Parliament
last session, As Messrs, R. B. Ben-
nett, M. P., and W. F. Nickle, M. P.,
explained the C. N. R. deal, the coun-
try in return for the use of its credit
received about a fourth mortgage on
all the assests of the railway and a
gilt-edged first mortgage on all its
liabilities.
At the time the bill was put through
probably neither Sir Robert Borden
nor Hon. Arthur Meighen figured on
Metiers. Mackenzie and Mann having
to pay out over three hundred thou-
sand dollars for Tright -of -way in the
Don Valley, In order that those two
statesmen may carry out to the full
their noble and philantbpopic work on
behalf of the two impecunious railway
contractors, it is to be hoped that
while the agreement is still under
review, the country will be eneured
the privilege of putting its shoulders
under this new burden of 0. N. R.
indebtedness. Sir Robert is logically
bound to see to it that Sir William
and Sir Donald are not embarrased by
the decision of the Privy Council. If
they had seen there would be need
for this $330,000 the two knights
would certainly have asked for it on
top of the $45,000,000 deal. No high-
minded statesman should profit by
'their inadvertence. -- (Toronto Tele-

Plants Of The Bible,.
-
(By the Rey. R, Tbynne, M. A., of
Palmerston, Ont.)
Having been ached by the editor of
the "Advance" to write a few articles
that might be of some interest to the
readers of the Advance, the writer
proposes to contribute a series of
articles on the Plants of the Bible,
probably one each month, which may
prove both interesting and instructive.
The plants mentioned in the 014 and
New Testaments will be treated in an
alphabetical order.
THE ALGUM OR ALMUG TREE.
Our translators have taken the
names here as they stand in the
original. The plant is named almug
1* Kings and algum in Chronicles, in
the same way that in the one passage
we have Riram and in the other
Huram ; the difference is one merely
involving letters and the same plant
(like the came individual) is alluded
to in both cases, The tree is only
mentioned three times in Scripture. In
1st Kings we are told that "the navy
also of Hiramthat brought gold from
Ophir, brought in from Ophir great
plenty of Almug trees and precious
stones, And the King made of the
Almug-trees pillars for the house ;of
the Lord and for the King's house,
harps also and and psalteries for sing-
ers." In the second book of Chron-
icles, the same statement is given,
the Algum-trees are described as com-
ing from Ophir, and the same asser-
tion is made in both passages tbat
"there were none such seen before in
the land of Judah." In the second
Chapter of the second book of Chron•
ictes, Solomon in his emhassage to
Huram for workmen and provision of
stuff foreerecting "a:temple unto the
Lord," seems to admit that a sort of
Algum-tree was found nearer than
Ophir, for, among other things order-
ed, he says, "Send me also cedar -trees,
fir -trees and algum-trees, out of Leb
anon (for I know that thy servants
can skill to cut timber in Lebanon)
and behold my servants shall be with
thy servants," From the circumstance
of the algum-tree being supposed to be
found in Lebanon, and it being ad
witted that musical instruments were
made of the wood of it, some com-
mentators have supposed that it trust
have been a sort of pine -tree, probably
the pinus deodara of India, which
affords a very beautiful wood of great
fragrance. We are told that "all the
most sacred and valuable works in the
peninsula of India are made of this
sacred wood—and aot unworthily—for
such is the odour, hardness, and veiny
oolourations of the wood, that tbose
who have seen articles of furniture
manufactured from it cannot wonder
at the preference." The mistake com-
mitted here is that of supposing that
the algum tree did grow in Lebanon.
Solomon only sent a requeet to Huram
to have such articles ; and in the
answer, the King of Tyre promises to
cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as
he would need ;" but he doesenot pro.
mise to send algum trees from Leban-
on ; but on the contrary, we are ex-
pressly assured (rings 10 : 11 12 and 2
Chronicles 0 : 10 11) that these were
brought from Ophir. Solomon, when
he wrote to Hiram had not seen the
alinug-tree, for, "there came no such
almug-treee, nor were seen unto this
day." The lsraelites were not a com-
mercial people, but, like the Egyptians
hated and dreaded the sea, But the
i -ire
Tyriane knew the alms g e and
where it was to be found and instead
of seeking for it in Lebanon, brought it
from Ophir in the East Indies. In
bringing'home this precious wood, and
other objects of value, we learn that
"Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to
Blatt), at the sea -side in the laud of
Edam," (on the Eastern gulph of the
red Sia)" and Huram Bent him by the
hands of his servants, ships and
servants that had knowledge of the
sea." From these ports on the Red
Sea, the expedition sailed direct to
Ophir in the Hast Indies,from whence
they returned with gold, algom-trees,
and precious stones, and aleo with
apes and peacocks, There seems no
reason therefore for departing from
the opinion now generally entertained,
that, by tbe aigum-tree, we are to
understand tbe Pterocarpus santolinus
of modern botanists, or the Red sand-
ers wood of the English, This is a
lofty tree, having alternate branches,
which, like the trunk, are covered
'n
with bark resemblr g that of the
common Alder -tree. The leaves are in
threes, roundish, very smooth, and
rolled back at the edges. The wood is
dark red, with black veins, capable of
taking a high polish, is close -grained,
and so heavy as to sink in the water.
Like many of the red Indian woods, it
transudes a blood ed 3ut

however, is obtained for another

Deports Of Pulp Decrease,
According to the egotiai bulletin on
pulpwood consumption issued by the
Forestry Branch at Ottawa, the
consumption of pulpwood by Canadian
pulp -mills has increased by 281 per
cent in the past year. The manufac•
ture of pulp bas increased and the ex-
ports to the United. States, Great
Britain and China have decreased.
While the imports have also increased,
these fern but a small part of the
total consumption ofpulp.
Canada still exports almost half of
the pulpwood she produces in the raw
state, although these exports are
being checked by regulations enacted
in
tbe different provinces which forbid
the export of raw, or unmanufactured
timber cut on Crown lande, The
recent legislation in the province of
Quebec which also forbids the export
of:'raw' timber from lands granted to
railway companies will tend to further
decrease this economic waste.
Altogether, 48 firms operate 65 pulp-

Old Boy's Reunion.
Defeated Orangeville.
The Wingham stick-handiers went
to Orangeville on Wednesday of last
week and defeated the Dufferins by 6
to 4. The Orangeville team played
the game well but the rabble of spec-
tators exhibited barbaric rowdyism
and at three different times rushed
into the field to mob Referee Fleming.
The Mayor of the town bad to escort
the Referee to his hotel. It is too bad
that Orangeville citizens acted so con-
temptibly. The Orangeville boys will
play here on July 29.h and we know
our citizens will show them bow spec•
tators should act, so that when they
return to their home town the team
can serve as missionaries among the
cannibals of the Orangeville region.

The Advance has repeatedly striven
to show the advantages of a Wingham
Old Boys Reunion, The Council of
last year endorsed the idea but noth-
ing more was done. Our town fathers
can give Wingham a continent wide
advertisement by beginning now to
hold a monster reunion in August, 1915,
Tbis paper would be pleased to receive
letters from the citizens approving or
disapproving of the scheme. Every
town around has been holding same
not only once but many times.
