to him that certain breeds of cattle pro-
! duced great deal of high priced meat,
while another breed that was the most
snowy and attractive, produced great
quantities of meat that grew upon the
shoulders and the necks, meat that sold
for the very lowest sum. These lessons
made great impression upon the young
man, and when he determined to COM
mence breeding for himself, without
knowing the history or the general merits
of different breeds, he sought the old
fashioned Durhams, and with them won
a great many handsome premiums and
made good deal of clean money. He
early discovered that there were some
characteristics about the Hereford males
not possessed by the Durhams. So when
one of his neighbors expressed a desire
to own a Hereford bull he encouraged
him to go far enough to get a good one,
and by the use of this male on his Dur
ham cows he found that he could raise a
little the best show steers that could be
produced anywhere. So with his Durham
thoroughbreds and his grade steers he
was able to go into the show ring and
win anything he was after, and anybody
and everybody who wanted young, at
tractive beef cattle, went to consult with

if he didn't have them he knew just who
did. This business naturally conducted
with much shrewdness, has brought Mr..
Aver good returns, and as the twilight
of life begins to approach he can look
back with great satisfaction on the fact
that he and his good wife have been able
to rear up and educate a family of eight
children, and they now have eight grand
children, and all of them make merry
around the old family hearthstone during
the vacation days of July and August.
AS has been stated above, the farm now
comes into the hands of Rufus, the rep
resentative of the fourth generation,
and his father insists that he is much
better farmer than he ever was. And
surely the father ought to know best
about 1t. The young man is certainly a
credit to Maine agriculture and any
one could not look upon his thoroughly
constructed II foot driveway without
recognizing that the one who constructed
it believed in thorough work. This is
shown in several respects. For instance,
Rufus says that he never starts out with
a load without feeling certain that he has
team enough ahead of it to land it at his
destination, and in that respect it means
a great deal. He never puts on less than
four horses onto his disc harrow when he
wants to do his best work, and he is al
ways certain that the rigging" will hold
to go the route out, for he says no one
with heavy team can afford to have a
breakdown. AS safeguard against
these unfortunate occurrences he never
will buy an implement that doesn't have
duplicate parts with it, and he hasn't a
whiffietree, neck yoke or anything of
that sort but what he has duplicates of
it hanging up in the shed all ready for an
emergency. He uses the best and most
improved farm implements, and is always
in the market for a new one if it is any
improvement over what he has. When
he took over the place it was stocked
with a large dairy herd, but for some
reason milking stool never appealed to

Grand View Farm, Freedom.
I From Turf, Farm and Hone.]

On a beautiful June day it was the
Measure of the writer to reach the rail-
road station at Thorndike and there meet
an old-time friend in Mr.. Peter Aver,
Who drove us to his farm in Freedom.
Mr.. Aver for more than so years has re-
sr4ed on the old homestead, now known
as Grand View Farm. Forty years ago
Mn Aver was one of the foremost and
among the most influential agricultural
ISIS in Maine He was on the Board of
agriculture for number of years, was
comment in the activities of the Maine
State Fair, the New England Agricul-
-.ra Society, and the several local fair
associations of his native county. In all
--rse several relations he was among the
INST and foremost and one of the most
active officials. He was also a very
ur1minent and successful exhibitor at all
r.~e fairs, and was the first agent to
81 agricultural implements in Waldo

Mr.. Aver, Jr., at ALL and he declares
that he is going to keep up the fertility
OF this farm by keeping a good flock of
sheep, four or six horses, and small
dairy herd. He would like to have six
or eight thoroughbred Holstein COWS.
but nothing else. He is thorough be-
lever in potatoes, and has cleared up as
much as So, 900 in single year from this
crop alone. He has just purchased a new
seed drill, and is much pleased with it.
and believes that grain should be sown
IN 40 other. way. He isn't so old but
what he can learn from the experience
of others who have gone before and we
have seen no more beautiful sight than
in this household watching the confer
ence and exchange of opinion between
father and son. Neither of them seems
to be too old or too young to learn, and
both OF them, apparently, have great
Difference for the opinion of the other.
Surely an ideal condition.
Since our visit last June, Mr.. Aver has
not only finished his magnificent stone
driveway, but he is now at work on a
model potato house, located on a high
and dry piece of land near the buildings.
The foundation now going in is certain
to be Of the most modern construction
The building is SO feet long and AZ feet
wide. He is building a double wall on
three sides of very large sized stone at
bottom, and drawing in to two feet at
top, which will be ten feet high. Then a
double course of brick for sills to rest on.
Thus built there will be no need of tim
Der or boards inside, except for a parti-
ton at about IL feet from lower end.
This II feet will require a stove to keep
it fit for bagging before loading. There
will also be covered shed in front for
protection of teams while loading. With
this building Mr.. Aver will be able to
store his potatoes and hold them for an
advancing market, as late as he wishes,
regardless of the severity of the season.
And this addition is about the only thing
he needs to complete very unique and
convenient set of farm buildings.
While the picture gives fairly good
view of the buildings at Grand View, it
gives no idea of the real grandeur of the
scene that greets the eye on a pleasant
day from this charming hilltop. One can
see six or eight different towns, sew
eral good sized ponds, and from the
cupola on the barn can all but see Belfast
harbor 16 miles away. Several years ago
the old historic ancestral homestead was
rebuilt and refurnished, so that now what
was once plain, unpretentious frame
dwelling is an up-to-date rural home,
possessing all the modern improvements
that go to make life so well worth the
living. Mrs. Aver is charming hostess,
possessing as she does rare literary tastes
and being ready writer of most charm
ing verse. She is most accomplished
member of the Grange, and several liter
airy societies and is easily one of the first
in very large circle of warm, devoted
personal friends. The household is con-
genial, attractive and united, and one of
the most pleasing to visit that it has ever
been our good fortune to tarry with.

Press worlds of gladness to your lip.

And weighted down with words of love.
And here unfolds one blessing more.
SURPRISING much that makes life sweet
And reads that softly on your floor
You hear the pat of toddling feet.
For wife who never gladly felt
Her own sweet babe upon her heart
Wnlch makes the icest bosom melt.
