     living on Beech Nuts. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Dr. John Mack/'eson: Non mi Ricordo! 
     
    
   
   
    
     Peter Praught: Yes to a great extent and it was difficult to catch them at the 
     
     beginning of winter. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Char/es Ramsay: Fattened. 
     
     John B. Schurman: I know hogs used to get very fat on Beach nuts but the 
     
     meat was very soft, not so good as that which was fattened at home. I never 
     
    
   
   
    
     knew of any great difficulty in getting them home. 
     
    
   
   
    
     William Sencabaugh: 50 years ago hogs fatned on beachnuts. whar wild, they 
     
     catch them with dogs when the snow was about foot Deep. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Peter Sinott: Hogs largely fed on nuts 50 year & 20 years ago. Easily caught 
     
     with potatoes. 
     
    
   
   
    
     [no name # 1]: Hogs would generally come home about Christmas quite fat 
     
     from beach nuts but their flesh would be softer and not as good as when hand— 
     
     fed — some few would be pretty wild and difficult to catch. 
     
    

    
     [no name # 2]: Hogs were fattened in this way and it was difficult to catch 
     
     them.
