 Editor of The Bee: While being entertained at the pleasant home of John A. Waldron of New Fairfield on January 16, with his magnificent Edison photograph and 150 of the choicest records, he presented the writer with three apples, one grown in 1908, one in 1907 and one in1 9O6. They were English russets and had kept in first-class condition except for the one three years old, which had somewhat lost it's flavor. In fact, John keeps everything in first-class shape. On small farm he keeps six COWS, three horses and the best pair of Devon oxen in New Fairfield. He does most of his. work without hired help using the Bmodern up-to-date tools, cutting his feed and saving his wood with 3-horsepower gasolene engine. All he is lacking is a mill to grind his grain, which he is about to install. MT Waldron finds farming a most pleasant and profitable occupa- tion when attended to on business principles. At the same time he finds quite little time for sports such as hunting, and fishing, of which he is very fond. His neighbornood is an ideal spot for one who loves nature and good neighbors. Certainly any one could not help put enjoy life and live to good old age under such cir cumstances. Truly yours,-[F. w. Knowles.
