In 1885 Mrs lldwnrds cnmo to Fremont with her family and Imnlld husband. She owned n plcco of land Just cast of the city , nnd was possessed of some means , the sal vage from n business w recked In New York stnto. Casting ubout for emploiinent bi which the slender stock of cash could bo made lo servo the requirements of the fiiintli , her nutui.il "piedlh'ctioti for flue stock led her to choose breeding. There is cow no question ns to her success. Her Ilrst venture pioved dlMistious. She bought a drove of vvlmt vvcio loprosentcd to bo Ihoroughbred Poland-China hogs. These she gave fateful attention till they vvcro the fdcal of her piidcin nppeatanco. Then she sought to sell them. A bu.\cr appeared mid n handsome price was flxrd At the last moment It wan discovered the hogs wcro not reglstcu-d , nnd the sevcnti-Ilvo beauties , on whom their owner hud expended so much care , went to the butcher. 1 Ixud u High Stniidnnl. On drilling tno man from whom she bought the drove for his duplicity , Mis Kdwards was told ho would give her his personal gnuitinty that the swlno were thorough breds Hut she said flrmlj she wanted no poisonal guiranty ; she would deal in noth ing that WHS not icglstercd in the herd book , and to that diitorinlnallon she hns ) \ \ inly held , With this high standard and Indomitable courage she began again to make tlie Hast Grove lierd of sboit horn cattle and I'oland-Cnlnu hogs She suc ceeded , nnd the fnnio of the herd Is now es tablished. Mrs IMwurds stopped at noth ing short of the fountiln head of excellence To succeed she i easoned slio must have the best to begin vvllh. In this view she pur chased cattle from the famous shoit horn herd of Amos Crulcksliunk of Aberdeen shno , Scnilnnd. This is only ono Instance of her methods In the languugo of Peter , "Nothing common or unclean" could enter her herd Kast and west she sought and secured the best blood. And thai she has been successful is at tested by the fact that wheiover she h.is exhibited her animals they have been dccor- uted promlseuousl.v with the red und blue emblems of supoiiorily Newspaper wrilors and line slock crllics have luuded her suc cesses to the sides , but tlioy have never ex- nggciated.
