Stock Raising.

How to farm with greater profit is a con
sideration worthy the attention of every farm
er. Said farmer, few days since, the
farmers of Carroll county ought to raise more
horses and feed more cattle. Thousands OF
dollars are annually spent for horses and mules
in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky,
which might as well be Kept at home by breed
ing more horses here. Feeding cattle is more
profitable than selling grain. Cattle are high
and grain is low. The grain produced on q
farm, if fed to stock, is returned to the soil
and keeps the farm in productive condition.
If sold, at the present low prices, it impoy-
erishes the farm and the farmer too. If fed
and sold in the form of beef, it brings the
farmer more money, and fertilizes his farm
besides. Our most successful farmers are
those who feed the greatest number of cattle.

Manchester Items.

The prospects for active business operations
in Manchester this summer are very hattering
at this time. 1t is currently reported that
nine new firms will spring into existence be-
fore the LIST of April, which will engage in
different industrial pursuits. Manchester does
not enjoy the advantages of railroad facilities
that other towns can boast of, but her citizens
enjoy many blessings which other towns do
not, and there are many industries which can
be carried on as successfully here as else
where. All that is wanted is capital and en-
terprising men.
Geiger Missionary Society elected Rev.
VIM. Rupp president; Dr. I. a. Shower, vice
president; Jacob H. Sherman, secretary; Ed,
ward G. Sellers, treasurer, for the current
year.
The Manchester Band has decided to have
carnival and trades display on Whit Mon.
day. The display last year was a creditable
affair, and all was gotten up in about three
days. The matter was decided just in time
to have it noticed in the local items, in the
ADVOCATE, and through it became known to
almost every individual within radius Of
many miles. This time they are allowing
themselves ample time, and no doubt the dis.
play will compare favorably with those Of
more pretentious towns.

Notwithstanding it has been announced
that Mr.. Blaine will not be candidate for the
Republican nomination for the presidency,
his friends in Pennsylvania are actively at
work in the effort to secure delegation from
that State favorable to his nomination. Sew
eral counties have declared for him, the latest
county to declare for him being Washington,
his native county, the Republican committee
of which almost una .limously expressed a
preference for him. 1t is said the Camerons
are becoming alarmed at the strength Blaine
is developing in Pennsylvania, and arranging
to put Senator Logan forward as the man
most likely to turn the tide.
