The RURAL. NEW-YORKER 
Memories of White Faced Cattle 
Will you inform mo where and when 
the original of that picture was photo¬ 
graphed that is on cover of The R. N.-Y. 
of January S. 1021? More than 40 years 
ago my husband, A. P. Freeman, intro¬ 
duced the Hereford cattle into Western 
Massachusetts by purchasing from Gov. 
Burleigh of Maine two imported heifers 
and bfill, registered pedigree. From them 
sprang all the “white faces” found today 
in Hampshire, Hampden and Franklin 
counties. Many of them, the majority, of 
course, are grades to the thirty-second de¬ 
gree, but they come true to type of “white 
faces” wherever found. 
My husband used to say the Ilerefords 
would be his monument in the years to 
come, but he did not live very long, and 
no doubt is forgotten by the present gen¬ 
eration. During the 11 years that he ex¬ 
hibited at fairs bis stock was awarded 
first prize, and at that time I knew every 
Hereford breeder in New England, and 
some in the Western States, having enter¬ 
tained in my home many of them ; nota¬ 
bly one was Senator Warren, the father- 
in-law of our Gen. Pershing. But the end 
came; the stock was sold and scattered, 
and nothing but a memory remains of 
those days. But when I saw that picture 
it recalled the past so vividly that it 
seemed I almost knew that old farmer, 
and perhaps I do. 
My home was in Huntington. Mass* 
and in that and all the adjoining towns 
the Ilerefords were the leading breed 
when I left there 24 years ago. I am an 
old woman now. and do not see much but 
automobiles. My son-in-law takes The 
R. X.-Y. and I am interested in reading 
it. and I wanted to know who still had ox 
teams, as in the “good old days.” It, is 
not curiosity so much as heart hunger 
that prompts me to write this letter to 
you. MBS. IIARKIET FREEMAN. 
Connecticut. 
R. N.-Y.—We have no doubt some of 
our readers in Western Massachusetts 
will remember Mrs. Freeman.
