RICH YOUNG MAN TO
HAVE BIC PIG FARM
Mrs. Frances A. Guthrie Buys
Long Island Property
for Son.
HE IS NOW A FARMLAND
Charles Lamson Lehman Pre-
fers the Pigsty to a
Career in the
City.
HE is NOW A FARMLAND

Scientific farming on big scale Is
going TO be tried by Charles Lamson
Lehman, youngest son of Mrs. Fran
ces A. Guthrie. Of No. S63 Park avenue,
who Is said to be worth a million In
her own light. lie intends To demon
strate numerically that pigs is pigs
and that the alluring high class sum-
mer colony district on the north shore
OF Long Island is most suitable place
for this experiment. His mother is in
terested, heart and soul, in the venture
and has bought the farm of Randolph
Soper. in the Dix Hills, about three and
one-half miles west Of the Huntington
station of the Long Island Railroad
The farm comprises 1873 acres and ad-
Joins several estates owned by well
known persons.
Young Lehman will start with fifty
carefully selected porkers, and expects
within two years to have pigstys occu-
pying a large part OF the farm.
Young Lehman is twenty-one years
old. q feet 3 inches I'm his stockings,
broad shouldered and athletic. He Is
quiet and unassumlng. When his
friends heard yesterday Of the pur-
chase OF the Long Island farm for the
raising Of pigs on a big scale they
laughed and said it was "a joke. Mr..
Lehman is in New Hampshire getting
i'm training for his chosen career, just
as he would do if he were scheduled to
appear at some athletic meet. He be-
gan this training about two months
ago, and each succeeding letter that
reaches the home OF his mother shows
that his fondness for agricultural pur-
suits is growing He gets up at 5
o'clock In the morning to nelp with the
chores, and 1t is not until s o'clock at
night that he is able to stretch his
tired body on his bed in the old-fash-
ioned farm cottage.
Works as a Farm Hand.
He is getting this practical expert
ence as a farmer on the Valley Farm.
which is known In grange circles as
one Of the most successful in New
Hampshire 1t Is devoted almost ex-
clusively to the breeding Of pigs. Many
of its pigs have won blue ribbons at
various shows. Because Of the scien-
tihc manner in which this farm is run
1t is considered by persons anxious to
get farming facts first hand a great
privilege to be permitted to work there.
When Lehman first asked to be per-
mitted to work and study there 1t wa0
intimated that there might be no place
for him. He wasn't to be put OF In
this manner and wrote again. telling
the proprietor OF the farm about his
yearning to engage in the pig raising
industry on his own account and that
he didn't want to begin without having
good practical foundation. BOOK
learning would not satisfy him as
safe way to begin to invest money In
farming. He was then invited to be-
come one of the workers at the farm.
