Shock Hands with Abraham Lincoln

On Monday forenoon, Mrs. Isaiah
Crowell received very pleasant call
from Mrs. ]. l.. Herrin and daugh-
ters, the Misses Edith and Hazel Her
rim OF East Skowhegan, river road,
and their guests, George w. Herrin
and son-in-law Joseph Christopher of
the Christopher Publishing House,
Boston, Mass Mr. Herrin was born
in East Skowhegan in 1870, where
there were several Herrin families
lived. The later Alonzo Herrin, a
Civil War veteran was relative.
When a boy he lived for several years
with an uncle, Henry Herrin in Ca
naan on Herrin hill. At the begin
ming of the Civil War he wanted to
enlist but after a short period of
training was rejected on account of
lameness of the knee. but his ardor
would not let him give it up and he
followed q soldier friend as assistant
and saw considerable of army life
and the horrors of war, staying until
civilians were not any longer al
lowed. But he remained near, in
Washington, ID. O., much of the time,
and was familiar with and saw much
of the great leaders of that day.
Shook hands with President Abra-
ham Lincoln and his cabinet. and was
near many of the battle grounds, as
sistlng whenever he could When
the war was over and he married, he
went west into that new country and
spent many years in Colorado and
Montana, later in life has been re-
turning east. spending some time with
his son in Chicago. Since the death
of his wife a few years ago he has
made his home with his daughter and
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. Christopher
in Boston, Mass, who accompanied
him on this trip to Maine, to visit the
scenes of his youth, and few re-
naming relatives.
Mr.. Herrin is remarkably we'll pre-
served, and looks much younger than
his eighty-four years. He Is very
interesting and entertaining man tC
meet even though stranger and his
friends regret that his stay in town
must be so short.
Mr.. Herrin said while on his wish
to Skowhegan he had renewed his
subscription to the Independent-Re
porter which he prizes highly as 8
source of keeping track of friends il
this vicinity, though like many Other
older people who have been a long
time away from the state, fail tt
find so much of interest. as time has
made so many changes both in names
and places OF business. Still hi

Who's Ready to Undertake a Reef
Demonstration

Through the courtesy of Philip r.
Park of the firm of Park & Pollard,
the Independent Reporter has heen
informed of a very interesting pro-
position which is open to some farm
er in this section Mr.. Park. aside
from his connection with the widely
known firm just mentioned, is the
proprietor of the Jefferson Farms
where the raising of Angus cattle for
beef, Is being carried on with every
reference to both scientific and prac-
teal results. Mr. Park is thorough
ly in sympathy with the now common
ly accepted idea that animal husband
ry must be looked to to rescue the
farmers of Maine, in the present
emergency. He has all the enthus-
iasm in the world for the dairy indus
try but he is frank in saying that the
raising of beef, in any situation is
free from some disadvantages per-
tanning to the production of milk and
butter He also sees clearly that,
for farmer located outside of the
convenient milk and cream market
area, the beef proposition is especial
ly attractive.
He is anxious to get in touch with
one or more progressive farmers VINO
would be interested in undertaking a
beef raising demonstration. The In
ependent-Reporter Is sufficiently ia
miliar with the details to assure its
readers that the opportunity is unus-
ual. Any farmer correctly situated,
possessing good pasturage and silo,
who is willing to follow faithfully the
latest plan of feeding, will do well to
investigate this offer. Little or no
expense will be involved and the re-
suit can hardly fail to be interesting
and profitable. Further details may
be learned by addressing Mr.. Park at
Jefferson, Maine,

Ladies' Farm Bureau at Hartlaad

Hartland Ladies Farm Bureau met
with Mrs. Bertha Haseltine at her
camp 1.-THE White Birches' in Rip
ley. August 10. Nine members and
eight visitors besides the children
were present. Miss Atherton, the
new home demonstrators met with the
ladies' for the first time, and in a
quiet unassuming manner made a
very pleasing impression. bust
ness meeting was held and reports
of committees and project leaders
were listened to with interest, and
plans for the coming year were
mapped out. At noon bountiful
dinner was served consisting of po-
tato salad. salmon loaf, string beans,
cucumbers, home made bread, fancy
cakes, lemon and pineapple sherbet,
and lemonade. Eating at the long
table built outdoor under the white
birches gave each one an appetite for
more This was certainly an ideal
day and beautiful spot for a meet
ing place and when members will
journey ten miles for a regular meet
ing, one may rest assured Hartland
ladies' Farm Bureau is right on the
map. The next meeting will be held
with Mrs. Richard Goodrich at her
farm home on the Pittsfield road.
Everybody come and bring a picnic
dinner.

Wateryille Fair Commences Next
Monday

Every day will be "Children's Day.
at the Central Maine Fair this year,
as hy vote of the directors all child
rem under II years of age will be adj
mitted free all four days. 1t is
planned that the children will have
the hest time ever as there will be
more rides on the midway than have
eyere been seen at a fair in Maine.
There will be the ferris wheel, the
whip. merry go-rounds, the airplanes
and everyone of them will be espe-
cially adapted to the pleasure of the
children. The exhibits in the grounds
will also interest them, and the clown
race in the afternoon between the
trained horses is certain to be big
feature for the little folks. Every
effort will be made to make the fair
one gala week for the young people
and they will be watched over and
cared for in the best possible manner.
But it is not only the children that
are going to have good time for
there will be many things to amuse
and instruct the other folks. The
exhibit of cattle Is expected to be
the largest ever shown at a Maine
fair. In every class there will be
competition this year and the result
rs that the owners and breeders of
high Grade cattle. and those who like
to see these animals will have real
treat in store for them. The horse
exhibit also will be exceptionally
large and the fair officials are al
ready put to it to find places for all
the animals that have been entered,
but they promise that everyone will
be given good chance.
There will be something going on
from 10 o'clock in the morning until
10 O'Clock at night each day, and the
last day will be the same as the 9th
ers as none of the exhibits will be
released until 10 o'clock Thursday
night, and all persons taking booths
have agreed to keep them open until
that time.

Egg Production Might Be Improved

Everyone who keeps hens knows
that all do not lay the same number
of eggs but many pOultrymen have
not noticed that there is a consider
able difference in the external char
acteristics of a hen which has layed
we'll and one which has not. These
differences are especially true during
the summer and fall months after a
hen has passed thru the laying year
Based upon these differences 1t is not
difficult 10 pick out the high produc-
ers from the low producers during the
summer and fall months. This is
what the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice of the College of Agriculture
taught 3S1 people at As demonstra-
lions last year. Through the local
committee of the Farm Bureau ar
rangements were made for demon
stration TO be held at the home of a
poultryman in the community. Using
the hens from this poultryman's
flock. the county agent explained and
showed those present the points in
dicating high production and those
indicating low production. Follow
ing this instruction those present as
sisted the county agent in picking out
the highest producing hens to be kept
over the next year to breed from.
If any progress is to be made in
increasing the egg production of a
flock, first OF all attention must be
given to the egg production of the
mems used as breeders. 1t is not pos
sible for the average farmer to trap
nest his hens but considerable i'm
proyement can be made without trap
nesting if careful attention will only
be given to the selection of the hens
used as breeders The difference
between a high producing hen and a
low producing hen is very obvious
when the points to look for are once
learned and few minutes time spent
at one of these demonstrations will
well repay any poultryman who
wants to improve the quality of his
poultry A large number of selec
ton of breeders demonstrations have
been arranged in the various COM
The dates and places of
these meetings will be announced by
the county agents and the poultry
committeeman of the Farm Bureau.
