Friendly Birds.
The Canadian Horticnitntist says..
The fruit grower is rightly indignant
when at length after many years of
careful cultivation and patient wait.
ing he sees his first crop of beautiful
cherries devoured by the Cedar Wax-
wing; but when he considers the bene-
fit these birds confer, he should "for-
give and forget." We should rather
plant cherry trees purposely to grow
food for them, and thus encourage
them as helpers in our industry; for
although they destroy great quantities
of cherries,they are chiefly engaged
in destroying insects, which if allowed
to increfise'would be still more harm-
ful. 'I"orbes, in the report of Michigan

Peat.
The Stratford Herald reports that
the Collegiate Institute there has se-
cured peat for fuel, In the absence of a
supply of coal. The test has been by
no means a thorough one, but so far
it seems to have given fair satisfac-
tion, The Herald says—Of the possi-
bilities of peat production on alarge
scale there, there -a o Ua no.. -daubs.
There' are said to ire two thousand
acres of peatdeposits in Ellice contig-
uous to the railway, the deposit being
five feet thick on an average, and out
of that depth capable of producing
1,000 tons of peat to the acre. That
means a deposit of e,Q0Q,QQ0 tons ready
to be taken out asci marketed,
when the niachinery is a.t hand
to put it in rnerketahle form quickly
and cheaply. But Stratford has no
mortgage on the product, applications
for which are flowing in from ail di,
rectiona, and the company propose to
fill orders in their turn. What am-
ount of peat Stratford will be able to
have supplied to it one can only guess
at. Apparently the only way an
appreciable supply can be secured
would be through the city contract.
ing for the entire output, The Ellice
peat is said to be the puiest of all so
far discovered in Ontario, having only
0 to 7 per cent of ash or non -combust•
ible components. The Advance gives
this item to suggest to those having
peat in the vicinity of Wingham, to
"do something" in the way of develop.

A New Comet,
The leading astronomers thus des-
cribe the new comet, that will soon
be visible to the unaided vision u --The
comet discovered at the observatory
on Mount Httttritton, California, on the
morning of September 1st is rapidly
approaching the earth and becoming
brighter every night. Its position in
the heavens is exceptionally favorable
for observation, and the object is visi-
ble during the whole night and will
continue to be well displayed during
the present and following months.
It travel northwest about one and a -
half degrees per day, and will increase
its velocity until it plunges down the
western sky towards the sun's place.
The comet will reach the nearest
point in its orbit to the sun on Novem-
ber 23rd. 1't is di#ficuit to say what
definite increase will occur in the
comet's lustre and form. It is now
invisible to the naked eye, but will pro-
bably be seen without instrumental aid
early in October, becoming much mote
conspicuous during ensuing weeks.
It is only rarely that a comet appears
which is so favorably presented in our
sky as the present one. It is now ap-
proaching us at the rate of three mil-
lion miles a day, Its tail will be many
million miles long. The longest tail

tion, The pastor, Rev. D. Perrie chose
as his text—Song of Solomon 2 ; 15—
"Take us the foxes, the little foxes,
that spoil the vines, for our vines have
tender grapes," Among the little foxes
endangering the tender grapes, Mr.
Perele mentioned—neglect to obey, ly-
ing, excuses, bad company and bad
literature, Against these the child-
ren were warned, and if they heed
the faithful admonitions of their pastor
they will have no cause to regret doing
so in the years to come. The. church
was prettily decorated, Little Lillian
Ross sang several verses as a solo, the
school joining in the chorus.

Millinery Openings.
Tuesday evening, selected for Wing -
ham millinery openings, was, unfortu-
nately, rather disagreeable on account
of unfavorable weather. Nevertheless,
a large number of ladies thronged the
shops, eager to see the new styles.
Our space is so taken up, that we are
obliged to curtail our remarks, and
content ourselves with brief references
and express the sincere thanks of the
milliners to those who called to see
their display. Beginning at the north
end, Mrs. Aley had many callers, who
were delighted with the line display of
stylish head -wear, so neatly trimmed
with excellent taste and skill, Mrs.
Aley's business is steadily . growing,
and she is pleased to welcome all who
wish to see the latest styles. Though
Miss Boyd was unable to make the us-
ual display, there is no lack of the pop-
ular styles and choice materials in
stock, and she will quickly place them
in -position to suit the taste of her cus-
tomers. At Miss Macpherson's the
display was exceedingly pretty and
varied, embracing the latest designs
and show taste and skill in arrange-
ment. Miss Macpherson's display is
always pretty. At Mrs. Green's ladies
found another pretty and attractive
display waiting the gage of the lovers

The Fell Pair, '
Turnberry Fall Fair was favored
with suitable weather, and the attend
anee was about as usual. The inside
exhibit was smaller that) last year;
several who generally exhibit largely
were not represented this year, The
quality of the articles shown, however,
was good. In the outside, the horses
and sheep were numerous and very
good. The orchestra failed to appear
in playing trim, which was a disap.
pointment to many. The Advance
wishes the Agrictlltllral Society sue-
sess, but at the same time, even at the
risk of offending those who think they
"know it- all," we consider that there
is abundant room for improvement,
With Wingharn as a centre, and a fine
agricult;ral country sur'r'ounding it,
we should have the best fair in the
county. That it is not as popular as it
should be, is generally acknowledged.
The Advance was taken to task two
years ago for daring to suggest that
there might be improvement; neysr-
theiess we dare to make the sante seg-
gestion, because we want to see every-
thing connected with our town a suc-
cess. But the Institution has got into
a rut, and a bad one at that. Let ev-
erybody lend a hand to lift it out and
make Wingbam Fall Fair the best in
the county. It can be done, but to do
it will require a thorough reconstitute -
tion and the complete and perpetual
banishment of all favoritism, social,
political or otherwise. It is the only
way to make a success of it. It will
never ha 'chat it ought to be under
present conditions. Lift it out of the
rut, gentlemen, if it Ita.s to he turned

Promptly at 12.30, as the wedding
march was being played by Miss
Houghton, the contracting parties pre-
sented themselves before Rev. Wm.
Lowe, who, with the impressive ritual
of the English church, tied the nuptial
knot. The bride was prettily gowned,
and was attended only by her little
niece, Dorothy Heath, as flower girl.
The bride will be missed in the old
home, and also in St. Paul's church,
where her work was appreciated. She
received many mementos of esteem,
among them a pretty card -receiver

Crown Huron Ranges.
At the Fall Pair on Friday last, the
first Huron Range turned out by the
Western Foundry Co„ Wingham, was
on exhibition. The first cast was only
made on Wednesday, and fortunately
it was successful, so that by hard work
a range was finished for the Fair. It
was a centre of attraction, and re-
ceived many
words of commendation.
So far as we can judge, it has many
points of excellence; it is fitted for
either coal or wood, should be econom-
ical in fuel, a good bakes', and is alse.
very 'pretty in appearance. The lids
are of new design with advantages ap-
parent to the eye. A prominent fact
too, is that the price is very reason-
able. This range is evidently going to
be a leader, and already orders are
coming in. A traveller commenced on
Monday and hooked orders from every
town visited, while enquiries by mail
are conning by the dozen for price
lists. One order for 25 is booked for
Toronto, and we are informed that the
difficulty now will be to keep tip with
the orders, with the present capacity
of the works, The Advance is pleased
to see the prospects for success so
bright. Every Winghamite will be
giad to know (after the brass, bun -
fireworks and flzele of 1901)

very different institution, and we be-
lieve its success is assured. The first
