HICKORY NUTS ARE SCARCE
Boy From Small Indiana Town Mar.
vels at Chicago Prices and Re-
calls 8oyhood Experiences.

Chicago.--'I tried to buy some hick-
DRY nuts the other day and what do
you suppose they wanted for them?
Five dollars a bushel. Goodness!
They ought to be as plentiful in some
parts of the country as ever. and as
it used to be you couldn't sell them"
A south side resident expressed his
opinion OF the annual fall nut crop
recently. He has not lived in Chi
cago long, having come here about
eight years ago from small Indiana
town.
why, we used to go out every fall"
he continued, land we would get all
the nuts we could carry home. Shell
bark hickories, walnuts, hazel nuts,
chestnuts and 'chinkapins' used to be
so plentiful in my locality that we had
a good store OF them every year. But
ternuts were not so thick, and We
priced them moro than all on that &C
count. Southwest of my home town
there was a grove known as "Hinck-
ley's woods and the boys from town
would tramp out there after the first
frost and carry back grain bags filled
with the fruit Of the big trees.
81 like walnuts best of those we
could get easiest, and my brother and
would take q small wagon out to
the woods and bring it back loaded
with the green barked goodies. Then
would come the hulling.
There, is only one way to hull wal
nuts and that is to lay the nut down
on q brick, hit it with a mallet or ham
mer and then peel off the hull with
bare hands We did not deign to
wear gloves, as only 'sisies' did that.
and we gloried in the beautiful black
stain our hands used to have until al
most Christmas. The boys would see
who could have the blacklist hands
during nutting time"

ACORN DIET PROVES FATAL
s-veot, Head Of Cattle on One Estate
Killed by Eating Fruit of Oak
Fheasants Thrive on Them.

London.-During the past few days
20 cattle belonging TO ]. Bishop OF
Hsugh o.. Shropshire. have died
through eating acorns. The cattle
were grazing in field in Aqualate
park, Staffordshire. belonging TO Sir
William Boughey. where acorus were
very plentiful. The loss to Mr.. Bishop
is estimated at nearly $1,000. Sew.
eral COWS belonging 70 other farmers
in the neighborhood have died from
the same cause.
From the Henley-on- Thames district,
where a number OF cattle died through
eating scorns, further cases were re-
ported. One beast died, and three
were found dead in a field some miles
distant. An examination OF one OF
them revealed two bushels of acorns.
Many farmers in South Oxfordshire
and Buckinghamshire have cattle ly-
ing seriously ill from the same cause,
while many cases of cattle dying
have been reported recently, notably
from the Newbury district of Berk.
shire and the Market Drayton district
OF Shropshire.
Cattle in many districts have died
from eating acorns, which are excep-
uonally plentiful this year. In a 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
devour too many or eat too quickly.
On the other hand, If there is already
store Of acorns under the trees, or
II excessive amounts Of collected
acorns are given TO the cattle, diges-
tive troubles are at once set UP and
in many cases the animals die.
It 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-
cnce in causing the trouble with the
cattle. Although ducks will not eat
ocorns, pheasants are eating them,
with unusual gusto, and early in the
morning one may see the spaces I'M
Gerneath the oaks quite thick with
Theasants.

Overdid It

As Fitcraft was huTrying across the
bridge to catch the sos train for
home he saw Griggs Just ahead OF
him with black band on the sleeve
Of his light overcast
Though the two men had only q
bowling acquaintance. Flitcraft knew
that Griggs' wife had died recently,
and sudden realization came over
him OF what II must mean TO a man TO
be deprived OF long accustomed do
nesuc eompanicnship. II was

pen az any time 10 any married man.
He wondered vaguely. as the light

peared in the crowd. whether Griggs
had been good to his wife. Then he
afirmed 70 himself virtuously that s
man ought to be habitually good 10 his
wife, and then II anything should hap,
pen. there would be nothing to regret
Just at this moment he happened to
see en- elderly man buying some fow-
ers at the stand on the corner and
at once his vaporous general resolve
became solidifed into concrete form
Fliteraft decided that he would take
some roses home to his wife. He
hadn't done such thing during the
eleven years since his marriage. but
that was no reason, he assured him
self, why he shouldn't do II now
So, with some embarrassment, he Sc
lected a bunch Of American beauties.

admonished him, as she hurried to fill

1t was evident that Mrs. F1itcraft
was delighted. A close observer
might have detected that she was also
puzzled. But Flitcraft was not in the
habit Of observing his wife closely,
being convinced that he had found out
all there was TO know about her during
the first year of their married life.
So, elated by his success, he rushed
on to his undoing
His voluble praise OF the peach
shortcake at dinner, besides being I'M
usual, appeared to his wife a work
of supererogation. since he had eaten
two large pieces with great relish.
A little later, to complete his wife's
