Nov. 22 —A number of inquiries have been received at Purdue university Department, of Agricultural Extension regarding the effect of acorns on grazing animals. ■ Avoiding to A. A. Hansen, of the extension staff, when acorns are eaten in large quantities the effect is likely to be injurious and many even prove fatal, particularly to young cattle. Trouble usually occurs during November following the frosts when there is little else to eat in woodland pastures and the animals are compelled to eat acorns in fairly large quantities. When eaten together with other feed acorns may be nutritious, digestible and harmless. Acorn mush flavored with maple syrup was a | favorite dish of Indian tribes that forerly inhabited Indiana. During a feeding experiment in which a young steer was fed ripe acorns in liberal quantities, the animal twitched the body muscles in a nervous fashion, the pulse become weak, respiration was slow, the surface of the body became cold, there was a discharge from the nostrtls and the steer finally became semiconscious. Too liberal indulgence in an acorn The Battle For Health Best Tonic To Gain Fighting Strength Is Father John's Medicine In the struggle for health and renewed strength Father John’s Medicine is the best tonic and body build er for those who are weak and run down because it. is pure and wholesome nourishing food which makes new flesh and strength without using alcohol.
