A Birds Eye View of the Towns Business.

a simple statement of the mercan-
tile business of place will give bet
ter idea of its advantages of location
than anything else.
Our citizens are not wanting in en-
ergy or enterprise and let no opportu-
nifty pass that opens the way to the
making of an honest livelihood The
surroundings OF the place may circum-
scribe somewhat the field of their op-
erations, but these do not abate the
energy of its citizens, as may be learn.
ed from the following statement
Shepherdstown can boast of no less
than twenty-four firms engaged in the
mercantile business in its various
branches. Six of these may be named
as groceries and feed stores; four car
nv a general line of merchandise, in
Guiding groceries and queensware /;
two carry ladies' dress goods, and one
of these carries only ladies' fine dress
goods, trimmings and millinery two
carry millinery and ladies' underwear
and notions one carries stoves and
hardware; one books, stationery and
newspapers; two carry large stocks Of
readymade clothing and gentlemen s
furnishing goods; two carry candies,
nuts and fruits there are several eat
ing saloons; two furniture stores; two
drug stores and six physicians there
are, also, several mantuamakers and
milliners; we have, too, several deal
ers in grain, coal and lumber.
Thus it may be seen that the town
is well supplied with the means to fill
the wants of the people of the COM
munity.
The Jefferson Savings Bank, located
here, is the agent through which our
merchants carry on their money
transactions with the city merchants.

THE GROUNDS

consist of four and 55-10O acres of
smooth, fertile limestone land, in shape
almost square, at the southern edge of
the town Gust outside of the corpora
ton limits, directly on the line of the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad, and ex-
tending from it on the west to the
Shepherdstown and Halltown Turn
pike on the east, very accessible To-
cation. The centre ofsthe grounds is
elevated, with gradual slope toward
both the railroad and pike, affording
desirable sites for cottages for the en-
ployees. The Manufacturing Co. has
railroad siding into its grounds, and
also water right to a small stream flow
ing through the southwest corner
thereof.

Dairy Farming in West Virginia.

The agricultural experiment sta
ton at Morgantown has undertaken
a work which deserves the hearty CO.
operation of the farmers of West Vir-
ginia. A late bulletin issued from the
station is entitled, The creamery
industry: Its adaptability to West
Virginia" Under this caption, the
bulletin describes the methods of con-
structing and operating creamery
and estimates the cost and profits on
the investment.
There are no more prosperous sec
tions of the Union than those that
are devoted to dairy products. The
rich farming districts of Central New
York have given up growing wheat
and raising cattle for the more profit
able investments of the dairy farm.
West Virginia is admirably adapted
for this industry. Our natural grasses
are as luxuriant and nourishing as
can be found anywhere. Our rivers.
creeks and springs furnish abundant
water supply. The market for dairy
products is reached easily and at a
minimum cost in transportation, and
with these advantages there is no rea-
son why the business could not be
made remunerative.
West Virginia farmers cannot pro-
duce wheat in competition with West
ern wheat Their corn, oats and rye
are raised for their home market and
to supply the wants of their neigh
bors. The introduction of dairy
farming would develop a market for
the coarser products of the farm, and
furnish new source OF income. Ii
one farmer is unable TO undertake
the enterprise, a society can be formed
by which it can be conducted and
each man will receive his share.
There is no reason why West Vir-
ginia should not be made dairy
farming State. Its dairy cattle could
be made to rival those of New York
and New Jersey. Our farmers have
an opportunity to go into the bust
ness intelligently. The agricultural
experiment station will furnish them
all the assistance and advice needed,
and they should at least make the
trial.

RS- The dozens of never-failing
springs near Shepherdstown--springs
where large volumes of cold limestone
water gush from the rocks--the cheap
sites that can be secured, the rich ag-
ricultural surroundings, the fine herds
of cattle owned by our progressive
farmers, the nearness of the city and
summer resort markets, the cheapness
and abundance of ice supplies, the
splendid blue grass pastures----all show
that Shepherdstown would make a
model location for a creamery. Its
advantages are unsurpassed. A small
amount of capital would yield great
returns. Who will be the first to take
advantage Of this great opportunity?
