A AREJUvENATED FIELD.
The Glenoe Stock Farm, owned
and operated by Thos. A. McIn-
tyre, Esq, of New York Produce
Exchange, is one of the show
places Of Tidewater, North Car
DINA. Located on high wooded
; bluff on New River, Onslow
county, and commanding nearly
two miles Of picturesque water
front, it is at all times a cOnspic-
uous object of interest, not only
because of its aesthetic beauty,
but because it is a living demon
stration Of what our ''old fields
are capable of when resuscitated
and intelligently treated, and it
stands out as a declaration of
faith in the traditions Of the
fathers.
ITS INFLUENCE.
It is of record that before the
war the South did some surpris-
ing things in raising racehorses,
thoroughbred cattle and grasses,
but the world has forgotten it,
The present generation has run
after strange illusions, and our
people have now to be converted
and terminated. Already the
State has instituted an Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in par
ity with other advanced States,
which is dispensing the gospel
. ing those industries which must
profit the investor; a Dairyman's S
Association has been formed to
promote the establishment of
creameries and cheese factories
after the pattern of Minnesota
and Vermont, and progressive
ranchmen propose to repeat here
in North Carolina the successes
of Colorado and Texas in estab-
fishing good strains Of beef cat
tie and caring for them on eco
nomic principles.
Unquestlonably individuals in
. isolated parts of the State have
done praiseworthy achievements is
in cheeze- making, and bettering
the grade of butter; but private
daries do not benefit communi-
ties like cooperative creameries,
which same are worth S0, 900, O0O
year to Minnesota alone. New
ertheless before the public is
ready and willing to accept the
boon of remunerative industries
which sagacious economists can
offer them, much pioneer mis-
sionary work has to be done in
preparing the way and making
the hidden paths plain. And for
this reason the advanced efforts
of such ShreWd finaucierS as Mr..
Mcintyre became invalua BILE to
laymen by inspiring confidence,
and stimulating the great work
, of recuperation and self-suste
nance. When operators like him
are willing to place their invest
: ments in the tide water section OF
North Carolina, no matter from
what personal motive, whether
/, for scientific experiment OF pure
emolument, others who have
been wavering and mistrustfu.
will be Influenced by his judg.
ment.
RESULTS SHOWING.
} Indeed, the effect of his mag
nificent work of Glenoe, already
, involving an expenditure Of over
S1OO, 900, has been to draw many
investors and much capital to the
vicinity of New River. An i'm
mense sawmill plant operated by
the Eccleston Lumber Company
has been located at Jacksonville
the county seat of Onslow, which
