No small part of this area was not deficient at one time, as the nature of the original timber indicates, and it is well within the knowledge of practical men that land which once produced the walnut and ash and shellbark hickory can be brought back to productivity with reasonable ease after very hard usage. It has a good inheritance.
Under those shellbark trees is a grand place for a tent, and here is water enough to float fifty canoes. The bushes completely hide the entrance, and when we are all fixed snug I'll defy Bug Batters or any one else to find us in a month. What do you say, Ned? Do you think it's necessary now to go farther down the creek?" Ned drew a long breath.
"'All my life, was the answer. "'Then why didn't you take her afore? asked his friend. "'Because I hadn't been to Thompsontown to see what I could get there. Of course I didn't want to take anybody here until I found out what there was in Thompsontown. Now I know there ain't nothin' for me there. "'And so you take Susan Shellbark! interrupted Sam. "'And so I take Susan Shellbark.
"'I should say so, said Abner; and then, after a portentous pause, he added: 'I've got her. "'Got her! exclaimed Sam, in amazement. 'Where did you get her? "'Got her here. "'And who is it you've got? "'Susan Shellbark. "'Susan Shellbark! cried Sam. 'You don't mean to say that! "'It's Susan Shellbark, and I do mean to say that. "'Why, you've known her all your life, said Sam.
The first thing that engaged his attention was the making of a set of lasts, and then the ramie fiber was twisted for threads; after which he sought out the lumber pile to make pegs, and selected some of the dried shellbark hickory for this purpose. Thus he imposed one very needed duty on himself.
The steep hill began at this point, making it impossible to follow the shore, so they began the ascent and reached the crest after a pretty stiff climb. The camp was now directly opposite, though entirely concealed by the huge shellbark trees. "Let's give them the yell," said Ned. He placed his hand to his mouth and uttered a regular Indian war whoop that woke the echoes for a long distance.
In its general appearance it resembles the shellbark, as well as in the fullness of its foliage and the size of its leaves. 'White-heart hickory' is a name often given to this species, because the wood is supposed, when young, to be whiter than that of any of the others," "Pignut is another beautiful name," said Malcolm, who was disposed to be critical. "Do pigs ever eat the nuts, Miss Harson?"
On all sides were inviting clumps of bushes, and slender trees bending over their weight of foliage, while from branch to branch swung foxgrape vines. Near the head of the pool was a grassy open spot shaded by half a dozen monster shellbark trees a perfect little Eden.
