NaturaIIy speaking
'By Steve Cooke
One of the biggest fall crops that the Indians
used to harvest as a hedge against the long cold
winter were the plentiful wild nuts that generally
start to drop with the first frosts. Nuts are very
rich in vitamins and prove to be a very high
source of protein.
Hazelnuts, as everyone knows at Christmas
time; are a fine delicacy, but if you want to beat
the squirrels to them, harvest early in the fall.
Beechnuts are another crop that you must be
ready for. The easiest way to collect them is to
wait until a frost is forecast, and spread old old
blankets beneath the trees. The .nuts drop with
frost and are easy to shake off the blanket into a
basket. .
Walnuts, butternuts and hickories are the
easiest to gather since they are quite large.
When gathered, the husks can be removed in
several different ways, but the two methods Abuse..
are, I believe, the easiest. One method is to
spread , the > nests ,.onr.:a AirivewaY ,and_ aback ,over
them several times with a car. This crushes the
hull off the nut with surprisingly few of the nuts
being broken and destroyed.
The other method involves piling the nuts in
some sort of squirrel proof receptacle and
waiting till the husk ferments enough to peel off
easily. Whichever method is used, be sure to
wear a good set of rubber gloves or your hands
will be deeply stained for a considerable length
of time.
All nuts store best when husked and kept in a
cool dry place. If you wish to keep a supply of
shelled kernels on hand for instant use, keep
them in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator. If
the nuts are going to be used solely for cooking or
garnishes, the nutmeats will keep better if they
are dried in a slow oven for 3 or 4 hours before
being placed in the refrigerator.
The Indians had many recipes for nuts, some
of which involved crushing the shell and kernel
together, cooking the mixture, and spitting out
the shell fragments as the dish was eaten. My
tastes run to more traditional dishes such as
black walnut fudge cake or better yet, a warm
cozy fire on a cold winter's eve with a big bowl of
nuts, my nut cracking paraphernalia, a faithful
dog and the good company of my loving wife.

score. Skinner later
scored for the fifth run of
the inning.
Earlier in the game,
Clinton had taken 1-0 lead
in the first inning. A walk
to Paul Bartliff, a single
by Dan Colquhoun and a
Tiger error gave Clinton
the run. Clinton made it 2-
0 in the fifth on a double
by Don MacDonald and
another Dashwood error:
The Colts threatened on
a couple of other oc-
casions but couldn't score
to increase their lead
against Dashwoods' ace
left hander Jim Guenther
who pitched brilliantly
when the going got tough.
Clinton managed six hits
against Guenther while
Dashwood were only able
to scratch three hits
against MacDonald. But
Dashwood came up with
the big hit in the ninth
when they needed it.
MacDonald struck out 8
and walked 3. The three
that he walked all came
in the crucial ninth in-
ning. Guenther struck out
8 also and walked 5
batters.
Dan Colquhoun had two
singles to lead the Colts at
the plate. Don
MacDonald, Cal Fremlin
and bon Bartliff each had
a double while Doc Miller
picked up the other Colt
hit.
The Colts would like to
thank the people who
came to the games this
season even though it was
not a very successful
season.
