SKILL IN NuTTlNG.
How the Expert Nutter opens the
Bur and shakes the Tree.

nuE anu AMN
Not few are the devices Of skilled
nuttlng. How often shall we see the
novice crushing the green bur with a
stone and the chestnut by the same
blow or with many pains from the
sharp spnes trying to open the bur
by hand. says outing.
The nutter who is better versed has
the trick not mastered until some
practice Of a peculiar quick tap Of the
heel, something between blow and a
cut, which at one deft side stroke lays
open the nuts for the hand. The old
device Of iarring by a heavy stone the
tree bOle. especially the slim secondary
trees of the deeper woods, may be trite,
but not its refinement Of taking a
somewhat smaller stone and by Sc
ries OF quick taps on the trunk "snap-
ping" the upper branches.
Less known and more effective is an
other plan, Its elements are a good
arm, ball of strong cord and, at
tached, a half pound stone, more or
less, according to the weight of the
string. The theory involves the casting
Of a weight over a bough Of the nut
tree and shaking it briskly when
looped by the cord. The practice is
that many a youngster who deems
himself n crack thrower on the ball
field viii find some lessons to be
learned i'm the precision Of looping" a
chestnut branch and in the retarding
power of an ascending cord tied to n
prOjectile.
Again. with usage comes the art Of
so releasing the cord from an upper
bough as to loop the bough below and
with acquired dexterity strip half a
dozen branches after a single cast

compel him to grant the company a
+ license to operate in Wis 5nsin. A TEN.
porary order fer , license was asked
but was not granted by Judge Stevens

March 80 to give the attorney general
an opportunity to prepare and file an
answer.
The National Casualty company is
the assigt ee Of the National Protec-
tive society, a company with a number
of agents in Wisconsin and a consider
able amount of Insurance written.
/ The officers Of The former company
hired the AGENTS to secure proxies Of
the policy holders, at five cents per
Proxy and when they had secured d
sufficient number voted to assign and
reinsure the business Of the company
in the new company with the very
similar name. The officers made the
sale to themselves as the officers of
the new company In the course Of
this transaction they made themselves
d present of $4,000 practically all the
surplus money of the old company. In
surance Commissioner Host protested
against this. calling it a simple pro
cess of substituting the proxy for the
burglars Jimmy, end refused to grant
/ d license to the new company to oper-
ate in Wisconsin The company now
brings action to compel him to do so
The plaintiff is represented by the law

tilted before the special grand jury,

against any publicity of what trans

learned last night that during almost
all of yesterdays session District At
torney Morrison sought evidence con
corning the price that retail dealers in
meats We're forced to ay the packers
and the price some packing concerns
had been paying cattle raisers for
beef on the hoof. The three most i'm
portant witnesses before the jury yes
terday along this line were r. C.
Howe, general manager of Armour &
Co. at Omaha; T. w Kelly. a retail
meat dealer at Cedar Rapids, Iowa;
Robert Hall, in the same business at
Kansas City. Kelly and Hall will con.
tinue their evidence today.
