About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1845.

It consists of a hard cup formed of small scales firmly connected together, and an oval nut, which is joined at its hase to the cup. The nut has a thin, light hrown shell, which encloses the kernel, or seed. Before the acorn has hecome ripe the cup entirely covers the nut, which it preserves from injury. As the nut grows its shell becomes hard, and it no longer requires the protection of the cup, from which it bursts forth. The only use to which acorns are applied at the present time in this country is for the food of pigs. When the acorns are ripe they fall from the oaks, and the swine are driven into the forest and eat them. The bacon and hams of the Hampshire pigs, which feed in the New Forest, are considered particularly excellent. Before the birth of our Saviour the original inhabitants of this country (the Ancient Britons) made acorns a large part of their food; and even now the inhabitants of Spain and Portugal eat the acorns which grow on different kinds of oaks; they are, however, much less bitter than our acorns, and are really good food. The squirrel, and other small quadrupeds, and some of our wild birds, feed largely on acorns. The mode in which a plant bursts forth from its seed may be most beautifully and instructively shown by partially filling a hyacinth glass with water, fitting a card to the top, as a kind of lid, and from the card suspending an acorn over the surface of the water. After a few weeks the acorn begins to sprout, or germinate, and when some time has elapsed a hole must be made in the card for the little tree to shoot through. This experiment should be performed in the autumn, when the acorns are fresh from the trees; and if the glass be kept in a warm room the...
