HOW AN OHIO MAN MAKES MONEY

iS$Is *3Ss FARM.

To the Editor: When l was a kid,
back home in Delta, Ohio, there was
a man named M. B. Hoyt who worked
for my father in our brick yard. Hoyt
saved part Of his wages each month
and when he got enough money ahead
he went out in the country and rented
IA piece of land and started farming,
gradually getting into dairy stock.
was nightly pleased to read in our
old home paper that Hoyt was now
at the top of all the milk producers
OF Fulton county, having received a
check for over $500 for November, be.
ing the largest ever paid to one farm
.er in the county for a single months
product, and for December his check
is sure to exceed that of November.
Mr.. Hoyt is firm believer in the
COW as a money maker and the ne
cessity Of the dairyman to study and
know every feature of the game, as
to breeding, care and feeding. He be-
gan building up from his best cows

tered sire all the time until now his
complete herd Is practically full

cornstalks, .cobs, or other fuel may be

laid strips of metal to support the
carcass, Before being placed over the
supports, the abdominal and thoracic
cavities should be opened and be lib

hte hog should be placed belly down

material in the trenches is ignited, it

GENEALOGICAL ARITHMETIC
BY GEORGE W. HoDGKINS

And then, of course, the rule of gcncaog-
ical arithmetic works both ways. 1t is not
SO simple in the descending direction; but
we can nevertheless get very fair APP
Proclamation without having TO leave our
arithmetic behind and trcspass upon the
higher branches of mathematics. Let us
try, for example to determine roughly the
number of descendants Charcmagnc HIM
self should have today. In line of descent
the ratio of one generation to another de-
ponds upon the size of the family. \ line
may even become extinct; but If it survives
few generations it will probably conform
To the average in the end.
If the descendants of one typical ancestor
were To increase from generation to genera
ton merely III the ratio of two, producing
1909, 1927 ,776 descendants in the for
ticth generation, it is easy to see that the
population of the earth as a whole would re-
main stationary. As a matter of fact the
population Of the globe today is estimated
to be one and two-thirds thousand millions,
which is eight or perhaps ten times the prob
able population Of the earth in Charlie
magnc's time y typical forticth generation
of descendants today must therefore be
some eight or ten times what stationary
population would have produced
Assuming Charlcmagnc'S family tree to be
an average onc,-thc chances are that ii has
been rather more prolific than the average,
though with a more than average proportion
of intCrmarriagcS,- we can reasonably cSti-
mate his fortiCth generation of descendants
as aggrcgating in theory some ten millions
of millions: but we have seen that the total
population Of the world today is only about
one Six-thousandth of such figure. When
we consider that there is white blood in only
abouthalf of the world' S inhabitants, and that
there are members of more than one genera
tiUn alive at one time, our computed total
is at least twcntv-fOur thousand times the
available population at the present time. In
other words, our figures show that the aver
age member Of the white race today is de-
seconded from Charlcmagnc himself in a
couple of dozen thousand different ways.
OF course this is just very rough approx
nation; but it offers food for thought
Probably there are some who are de-
seconded from Charlcmagnc a good many
more than two dozen thousand different
times, and no doubt many others in various
branches Of even the white race, not de-
seconded from him at all But there have been
quite few other Kings and Empcrors besides
Charlcmagnc in all times and in all races,
and there certainly ought to be enough royal
blood to go round, with plenty and a good
quantity TO spare.
From which we infer that the ariStocraCy
OF roval descent consists not 50 much in aCtu-
ally having royal blood in your veins as in
having the lincagcS and records To prove II.

IN some cases completeness would prove
an embarrassment of riches That the
deliver into ancestral lore finds line after line
stopping short without a trace of the next
preceding generation, may be unfortunate
in individual eases; but in the aggregate it is
a blessing in disguise II ones search goes
no further than tho earliest American set
tiers, a complete gcncalogy could not involve
more than couple OF thousand ancestors
at best; but, few centuries back on the
other side, il would take the better part OF
lifetime merely TO write the ancestors
names
Few of our authentic gcncalogics go very
far back of modern times, and probably none
at all have pierced the dark age that fol-
lowed the fall of Rome. The days of Charlie
magnc, who brought order out of this chaos,
will nevertheless prove far enough for the
purposes Of our computation. Charlcmagnc
ilouriShcd as King of the Franks and En-
pcror of the West about the year 500 A. D.,
eleven centuries ago. The average period
from the birth of one generation TO the birth
Of the next is between twenty-five and thirty
years, so that the number of generations
from our times back to CharlCmagnc'S is
roughly forty.
In each generation, of course, the number
Of ancestors is just double the number III the
generation succeeding il. In the forticth
generation the number of ancestors is con-
scQucntlv the fortiCth power of two, or, in
other words two multiplied by itself thirty
nine times And a few minutes figuring
with pencil and pad will show that the total
number of any persons ancestors IN the
forticth generation is a mere matter of
900, 81 | ,627 40, or somewhat more than
a million of millions.
But a little difficulty arises According TO
the best estimates the population of the
whole world at the time of Charlcmagne
did not exceed two hundred millions. OF
any single generation there could hardly
have been over one hundred millions. And of
hcwhitc race, or any other single race, there
was only part Of that number. Something,
therefore. must have happened to the vast
majority of our million million ancestors.
The obvious explanation hes IN the inter
marriage of cousins, first cousins, tenth
cousins, rhirtV-ninth cousins, as the case
may be- Probably fair proportion OF a
persons ancestors appear IN the pedigree
only once: but Others must be duplicated,
not merely scores or hundreds, but thou
sands, Of times If every inhabitant of the
world forty generations ago could appear IN
that family record, the average name would
be duplicated more than ten thousand
times, and, taking into consideration the
barriers Of race and distance, it IS not UNI
likely that some prolific ancestor would Lave
his name in that list not merely thousands,
but actually millions, OF times.
