Eli Spraque Nero.

Deacon Eli S. Nero died at his homo
on Green street in this city, Tuesday
morning at 5 o'clock. He had been
afflicted with heart disease for several
years, incapacitating him for continuous
or hard labor, and causing at times
considerable suffering and pain.
Deacon Nero was born in Union. in
this State, Dec. 10, 1922, and was there
fore in the S0th year of his life. In
his early years he learned the ship
carpenters trade, and continued to
work at it until his removal to Au-
gusta in 1862, when he became en-
ployed in the wood working depart
ment of the Portland & Kennebec
Railroad shops here. He was thus en-
ployed until the shops We're abandoned,
and the work transferred to the shops
at Waterville. He was married on the
2Sth of January, 1S47, to Miss Eliza
beth Libby Kalloch, who survives him,
being some two years younger than
her husband. He leaves two children,
Mr.. NJ H. Nero and Mrs. Hattie NJ.

WILL RAISE BUFFALO.
Amos Gerald to Breed Mixed Strai,
at Freeport Preserve.

Amos F. Gerald. who has done so
much for the State of Maine in deyel-
oping large districts through the build
ing OF trolley lines, and who is Just get
ting the Portland & Brunswick road
into condition, has made plans for ar
other enterprise of nearly equal i'm
portance to the interests of the State.
At the Bangor fair, last week, he ar
ranged for the purchase of q small herd
of Pooled Angus or Galway COWS, which
he will have shipped to his broad acres
in South Freeport to be crossed with
the full-blood buffalos in the enclosure
there. This means that Maine viii
have cross-bred herd such as has
been made famous by United States;
Senator Jones of Nebraska, and which
will serve to maintain the native bison
blood on the continent of North
America.
Mr. Gerald has several fine bison at
South Freeport, in the enclosure ad-
joining Castle Casco, the big new hotel
being erected by the Portland & Bruns-
wick Railroad on the shores of ,asco
bay. He has been making a criti cal
study of the case for some months with
the result above mentioned. When an
Advertiser reporter called on him,
Tuesday. Mr.. Gerald admitted the
truth of the report AND added:
Il intend to start herd here which
will make Maine famous in new way
The Polled Angus, originally Italian
stock, has been found after careful ex-
perimentation to be best suited to
crossing with the thoroughbred bison.
A halfbreed of this type gives marked
satisfaction, and three-quarters is a
complete success.
THE quarters animal retains
the vigorous physique of the COW, with
many of the physical characteristics of
the regular buffalo. In Nebraska, where
the experiments have been successfully
conducted the hair of the cross breed.
or .cattelo' as the new animal is pro-
fessionally termed, if found to be SUI
perior to that of the original bison, as
while it has all the original strength it
has a finer. silkier quality which great
ly increases its value"
Mr. Gerald has already secured some
of the cows, and has purchased the
others subject to delivery a the close
of the Maine fairs, where they are be-
ing exhibited for prizes. They are ex-
cepticnally fine animals and will be an
added object of interest at the grounds
of Castle Casco.
The buffalo, which will form the
foundation of the Maine herd, are
splendid animals. They are already at
South FreepOrt, in large enclosure
specially made for the Gerald herd.
