READERS TAKE NOTE -- Seeking Issues of Turf, Farm and Home -- The Portland Press

During the last ten days I have been reviewing issues of the Turf, Farm and Home newspaper. These newspaper provide us with the life and times of Maine's horseman between the late 1880s through 1912. In 1892, Turf, Farm and Home absorbed J.W. Thompson's Maine Horse Breeders' Monthly. In 1912 Turf, Farm and Home was absorbed by The Maine Press that was published in Portland, Maine. The Maine Press may have ceased operation in 1910. The Fogler Library at the University of Maine in Orono has copies of The Maine Press from 1912 to 1920. It appears that there are very few issues of Turf, Farm, and Home in public collections.

To do our research we would certainly entertain reviewing any of these newspapers. However, we are interested in the following issues of Turf, Farm and Home -- all issues in December of 1909 and January of 1910. We are also interested in issues of The Maine Press from March and April of 1915.
