Our amiable Carson contemporary
will have to live and learn a little
more on this subject. The first pine
nuts Of the season are gathered as soon
they are at all ripe, and before the
first frosts have interfered with them
in the least. The burrs are pulled or
broken from the trees while compare
lively green, and while yet the leaves
or thick layers Of the burr, between
which lie tho nuts, are tightly closed.
At that time the burrs are plentifully
covered with pitch, therefore they are
spread out OIL the ground In layers OF
six or eight inches deep and set on hre.
The pitch Is thus burned of clean, the
nuts cooked just right, aud the leaves
OF the burrs opened so that.a little
beating between stones causes the nuts
TO rattle out freely. The nice, ripe,
unroasted nuts are those whlch are
gathered about frost time, when the
6urrs are fully ripened aud dried on
the trees. At this time the leaves
gradually open and the exposed nuts
are easily shaken out or harvested by
means OF poles. II let alone they vii!
eventually all fall out aud become food
for squirrels, who eagerly gather them
up aud store them away In their holes
for Winter use.
TARGET SHOOTING MXTcu.-rhe En-
terprise Of this morning says: The
challenge by Dennis Nevin. Of the
Emmet Guard, to George Daily, or any
other member Of the National Guard
shooting detail, to shoot twenty shots
with Springfield breech-loading mus
kets, 200 yards range, was yesterday
morning taken up by II. c. Smith Of
the Nationals, and the match TOOK
place ut the shooting house OIL the
National Guard, rear the Julia works,
at | O'Clock, same day. About l,OO
persons were present, and the best Of
order was maintained, the silence only
being broken by the betting between
the friends Of the parties. OCCASION

The shooters seemed entirely uncon-
cerued, both being confident Of victory.
Following Is the result: Smith INA.

and coin by four points. Taxing Into
consideration the wind blowing at the
time, the shooting wa excellent. We
understand that although the detail
of the Nationals have Withdrawn their
challenge from the papers, 1t Is still
open for the acceptance OF the detail
OF the Emmett Guard. Several other
private matches between different
members of the rival companies are
on the tapis. We believe that last
evening a match was made up between
George Daily Of the Nationals anu
Miles Finlan Of the Emmets.
