SAWYER Many of the towns along the southern border of the state are favorably situated with reference to agricultural success, on account of proximity to the excellent markets afforded by Massachusetts cities, prominent among which is Haverhill; and Atkinson, one of the best agricultural towns is Rockingham county, is particularly favored in that it adjoins this flourishing city whose market advantages are among the best. The leading farmer of Atkinson, and one of the most extensive milk producers in the state, is Herbert N. Sawyer, son of Jesse Augustus and Elizabeth B. (Noyes) Sawyer, who was born on the farm where he now resides, and which has ever been his home, July 6, 1860. This farm, which is located near the southern border of the town, about a mile and a half from the Academy village, and six miles from haverhill, was purchased by Mr. Sawyer's father, who was a native of Atkinson, reared on another of its excellent farms, in 1853, and has been materially improved since that time. The land had been brought into an excellent state of cultivation, and he buildings are among the most commodious and complete to be found upon any farm in the county. A substantial two-story house is connected by a ell with a spacious barn 40 x 120 feet. There are other necessary building, and a new dwelling, near by, occupied by the elder Mr. Sawyer since Herbert N. took charge of the farm work upon his marriage, Oct. 17, 1886, with Miss N. Grace Pettengill of Atkinson, an intelligent and accomplished young lady, who proves a most efficient and encouraging helpmeet. Mr. Sawyer was educated in the public schools and Atkinson academy, and his highest ambition has been to discover and apply the most intelligent methods in promoting agricultural success, while neglecting none of the obligations of citizenship or the just demands of society. Butter production was formerly the leading specialty of the farm, but milk for the Haverhill retail market has been found more profitable of late, and to this attention is mainly given. About sixty cows are kept, selected for their milking qualities, and eight horses are used for farm and marketing purposes. There are about one thousand and forty acres in the home farm, and another farm of seventy acres, near by, has been purchased by the young man. The hay crop reaches about one hundred tons, and about sixteen acres of corn are raised for fodder, which is cut and fed dry in preference to ensilage. A steam-engine furnishes power for cutting, also for unloading hay and fodder, sawing wood, pumping water, and other necessary work, the fine mechanical ingenuity of Mr. Sawyer devising means for applying the power to a great variety of uses. Mr. Sawyer is a Universalist in religious belief, and a Republican in politics. He was elected on the board of selectmen in 1895, '96 and '97, and has been a member of the school-board since the town system was adopted. He has been an active member of Atkinson Grange since 1890, and master for 1896 and 1897. he is also a member of Mizpah lodge, I.O.O.F., of Haverhill, Mass. For several years past, Mr. Sawyer has been an agent for the sale of Bradley's fertilizer and various agricultural implements, in his section of the state. Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer have two sons, Arthur Herbert, born March 8, 1889, ad Clifford Augustus, Aug. 30, 1894.
