Seventy Head of Cattle on Ono Estate
Killed by Eating Fruit Of Oak
Pheasants Thrive on Them.

London.-During the past few days
20 cattle belonging to ]. Bishop of
Haughton. Shropshire. have died
through eating acorns. The cattle
were grazing in a field in Aqualate
park, Staffordshire. belonging to Sir
William Boughey, where acorns were
very plentiful The loss to Mr. Bishop

shire and the Market Drayton district
Of Shropshire.
Cattle In many districts have died
from eating acorns. which are excep-
tionally plentiful this year. In few
districts sheep also have suffered, but,
on the other hand. many farmers have
found that both cattle and sheep have
fattened on daily rations Of acorns
1t has been found that the best
method is to let the cattle and sheep
have daily access to fields where there
are acorns. because the animals then
eat the acorns as they fall and cannot

On the other hand, If there is already
a store Of acorns under the trees. or
If excessive amounts of collected
acorns are given to the cattle. dfges-
tive troubles are at once set up and
in many cases the animals die.
1t is a curious fact in connection
with acorns as food for ducks. which
usually fatten rapidly on this food.
that this year they will not eat acorns.
The reason probably Is that the
acorns are OF such an enormous size.
and this fact may also have some infiu-
ence in causing the trouble with the
cattle Although ducks will not eat
acorns. pheasants are eating them.
