In, a good season he usually gets about two bushels from each tree, Two years ago, after he had gath- ered them, and picked out all the bad ones he had about six bushels. As was his custom, he put then on the attic floor to dry, far, as you kuow, butternuts are not good to eat until the outer skin has dried up, He did not go near the attic from the time ho put the nuts there until late in the winter when he wanted some to eat, Imagine his surprise when he found that nearly half oI them were gone, He questioned hie Wife about 1±, but' she had not used any of them; in fact she had not bean to. the attic since fall. About a week later, however, my friend was out back of the house, said, happening to glance up, he saw a large red squirrel on the roof, Ile watched the squirred and saw him enter a small hole in the finish under. the eaves. In a few moments the squirrel came out with a butternut in his mouth My friend now believed that he knew who was taking his butternuts, eo he decided to follow the squirrel and learn where they were hidden. This was not very difficult to do be- cause the squirrel came to the ground, about two hundred yards from the limn, and entered a hollow log.
