enough TO attend were loud in their
praise of the ability OF the company,
Mr.. Mcdonnell was al excellent Othello,
while Mr.. o ven was fairly in his element
in the role OF "Iago." The remainder OF
the company did SO we'll in their several
parts that it would be Unfair to make
special mention OF any particular one. A
large number OF the high school at the
Atlantic who are at present reading
shakespeare attended the play and it
will help them consider ably in their read

sured that in attending Mr.. Ovens en-
tertsinments they will get their moneys
worth. for his company Is one OF the best
that has ever come TO this district.

NUT TREES.

Plant the Nuts, and the Trees Will Grow
After Awhile.
The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends on the care given
to the trees. Some authorities state that
10 or 20 years are necessary to bring
them into full bearing from the time
the nut is planted. This is mistake,
as trees that have been we'll cared for
should bear bushel Of nuts in ten years,
and the quantity will increase rapidly
each year after that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising these
trees from seed. To be sure it is rather
slow process, but it is interesting
work. When planting the nuts, if they
have thin shells be perfectly sure that
they have not dried out at all. The best
plan is to get them as soon as they ripen
and plant them at once. When this is
not possible, keep them in moist sand or
in sawdust until they can be started.
Butternuts, walnuts, hickory nuts and
filberts, being hard shelled, will keep in
growing condition much longer, but
should be planted in the fall, as they
terminate better when allowed to freeze,
as that cracks the she'll.
The fall planting is natures own
plan, and the nearer we follow her ways
the better results we may expect. An
other thing, do not plant the nuts deep.
Nature drops them on the surface and
gives them thick covering of leaves in
which the dirt catches as it blows about,
then the snow covers all and helps the
leaves to decay and form a covering Of
leaf mold for the tree to grow in.
1t is not practicable for any Of us to
try to raise all these kinds Of nuts, but
select the ones most likely to succeed in
our climate, and by proper care and at
tention make q success of it. We may
not reap the benefit of our labors, but
our children will and theirs after them.
