LONG PRICE At SOLON
Some Excellent Cattle are owned ny
Joseph MatsOn, Secretary Oh
Scion Agri'l. Association

Joseph Matson of Scion has some
excellent Hereford stock at his farm
about three and one-half miles from
the village. He has recently sold
three Hereford heifers to Walter M
Eaton of Dexter, the same TO Dc
shown at the Bangor fair this week
The animals sold for long price
Heading the herd Is a Hereford pull
which MIR. Matson has been told on
good authority was decidedly the
fourth hest Hereford stock animal in
the state. He is five years old ana
his name is Moadne Bird, the register
number being 700331. Mr.. Matson
numbers among his valuable animals
a Hereford cow, Princess, bred by
Oscar Rand of Lakeport, n. II. when
he bought three years ago and from
which he has sold $4,000 worth OF
calves. The COW has another pro-
missing bull calf by her side that looks
like 800. A Hereford which Is IN.
cluded in the Matson herd was Dren
by Grant Witham of Emblem ana won
the blue ribbon at Scion and likewise
has been a winner at one or more
other fairs. Mr.. Matson has received
$3.50 from her offsprings. Evidently
Mr.. Matson is right when he says
there is quite a stir in the Hereford
circles "if you have something that
the other fellow wants
There are over two hundred acres
of land in the Matson farm and about
Az tons of hay were harvested there
this wear. The crops include one
tmn
fourth acres of ensilage corn, about
two acres of potatoes, and six acres
of oats. There Is a scarcity OF fruit
on the farm this year, although the
orchard blossomed well but apparent
ly the frosts caused considerable
blight. There is small flock, OF
Rhode Island Red and White Wyan-
dofte hens on the place and Mr.. Mat
son has five hogs of the White Chester
variety. There are also pair OF
work horses and a driver, weighing
around twelve hundred, although in
the summer the greater part of the
riding Is done in the family automo-
bile.
Butter is made and sold to custo-
mers in Bingham. Among the
cows on the place which have
not been referred to are two of the
American Cattle Club Jerseys which
were purchased from Ingraham
Pierce.
Mr.. Matson has always lived on the
farm where he now resides and his
father, Thomas Matson, eighty-two
wears old lives with him. The
younger man is a member Of Scion
Grange, has been connected with the
Farm Bureau and is the present
secretary of the Scion Agricultural

Daddy and | are going to the Grange
tonight and you can stay over TO the

songs, and told us stories, there down
on the braided rug before the big
open fireplace, we had popcorn and
roasted apples and always full sized
slice of bread and butter before We
went upstairs and was boosted up into

down and down into little nest,
thanking our lucky stars there was
such thing as Grange so we could
stay "oyer to the other house Lit
tie do boys and girls realize, the
happy days that are their to enjoy,
or how quickly they pass by. Our
school days at district No. were
pleasant ones. with skating and slid
ing parties thrown in, then the May
basket parties where in the shadows
of the trees here in the grove were
such excellent hiding places. Then
the lawn parties, as we grew older
came in as part of our enjoyment,
where we played real old fashioned
kissing games. We didn't know the
meaning of osculation and had never
heard of germs, but were happy and
hearty and healthy. But our play
time all too soon was over when one
by one we went out from the old
home to take our places in the world,
to make homes of our own and to
rear our families, but ever and anon
we return to this little nest here in
the white brches, some to regain
their health, some for rest and re-
creation and tho today this great con-
tinent separates us brothers and sis
ters yet each heart throbs as one in
memories Of AUD Lang Syne" again
