This statement j. made adviscdly. Mr. Morton's
stock OF 80 cows and bulls is the largest as well
as the finest herd in this or any other country
Every animal is registered, and the majority were
imported The foundation OF the herd was laid
in 1887 by the Importation of fifty nine head,
selected OH the Island of Guernsey, by Mr.. f.
Burnett, of Southboro, Mass, and since then, by
further importation, by breeding and by the pur
chase of the hest stock TO be found in this country
where the best GUcrnseys are now to be found, the
number of the herd has been increased to its
present size. This increase will continue until it
reaches 400 head, the capacity of the present

pounds, fifteen over 1000 pounds thirty-tlircc
over $500 pounds. The yearly average of butter
is one pound from little less than seventeen
pounds Of the mixed milk of the whole herd.
The cows have never been forced but are given
what grain they are able prolitably to turn into
butter. 4 composite sample Of the mixed milk
of the whole herd for eight milkngs just ANA

pertinent Station, shows 5.37 per cent fat, 800
per cent casein and 1918 per cent total solids.
Forty-two per cent Of the milk Is from cows that
have calvcd within the last three months.
Aside from the few bull calves that are sold
from time To time, the sole market product Of
the herd is butter, and buter-makin9 at Ellcrslie
is a most important department and most inter

A TALE OF BURIED TRAsuEE.-Nearly
every island along the Texas coast has its ira:
dtion Of treasure buried by pirates. Padre
Island is 10 exception. and for several weeks
u party headed by Henry Shannon, mer-
chant of Quintala. and Charles Newman, a
coast trader, have been making excavations
on the island. guided by an old chart, which
they say they found recently. Saturday they
dug up several old gold coins and medals at 4
place indicated OH the chart, aud arc now GER
tain that immense treasure is within their
grasp. The coins are dated from 1850 to
1850, but the finders keep the extent and
value of the find a secret. This discovery re-
calls the fact that an old shepherd on the
island. eighteen or twenty years ago, found
several hundred dollars in gold coins there
and took them to village on the Rio Grandc.
where he was robbed and mortally wounded
bS bandits. When found he said he had left
a wagon load Of gold and silver upon the
island, and he was in search of wagon to re-
move it when waylaid. A search was made
FOR the treasure then, but none was found.
