The Old Earth

In a recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
the eminent English scientist who is
now visiting America, announced that
the earth would probably continue to
exist for 20,000,OOO years more These
are, of course, round numbers. Some
scientists estimate that the earth will
live for ten times this age. There
have been animals of one kind and
another on this planet for fully this
length of time. The dinosaurs are be-
Heved to have lived through some
such period. The age of man, which
is probably only few thousand years,
seems the merest trifle by comparison.
When we consider how man has de-
veloped during recorded history, which
is less than ten thousand years, we
may hope that he will evolve to an in
finitely finer type in the future.

All Concern Dignity's Capitulation

Some jokes are spiced with one kind
of fiavoring; some with another kind;
but the main ingredients are the same.
They all more or less depend upon the
same elements of their laughs IN
a general way, a joke is manufactured
from embarrassment.
The first joke ever made in the.
world was when some frisky young
cave man suddenly yanked away the
stone upon which the hoary-whiskered
old chief of the tribe was about to sit.
And all jokes through the ages that
have followed have been made out of
about the same stuff. 1t is not actual
material chairs that are being pulled
out from under dignified people; but
the best and surest jokes concern the
fall of dignity in some way.
1t is because / so thoroughly realize
this that my comedies always have a
strong, reasonable plot upon which the
comedy is draped.
There is nothing funny in mere
monkey business. Parenthetically, l
might remark that the reason a mon
key is funny is because he always
looks so solemn and dignified when he
does his antics.
Comedians could well take cue
from the monk. The only really fun
ny comedy is that done seriously.

Carrying Capacity
OF Pastures

Hogs do not relish grasses except
when the leaves are young and tender.
Hence it is necessary for the best
results to keep permanent pastures
well stocked If the plants are al
lowed to mature they not only become
less palatable but are deficient in
feeding value as well. 1t is usually
advisable to have some other stock in
the pastures with the hogs to eat
the coarser plants. Cattle are best
suited for this purpose. Moving the
pasture in late spring should be prac-
ticed if the plants become too far
advanced.
1t is impossible to state how many
animals per acre will be supported by
permanent pasture In most cases
it is advisable to have some of the
best supplementary forage crops to
Craze in addition to the pasture. A
safe rule is to have at least one acre
of good permanent pasture for each
brood SOW kept. OF course, this acre
age could be reduced or the number
of hogs increased where a complete
success of supplementary forage crops
is raised or where the land is very
productive. A greater area should
be allowed if the grazing is poor.
The carrying capacity of the vari-
Gus supplementary forage crops varies
widely, according to the growth of the
crop. AS rule it is safe to Craze
them at the rate of ten to fifteen 100
round shotes to the acre. A greater
number will shorten the grazing
period, and fewer animals will
lengthen it.

Through the mild, sunny days OF a

of Our
Forest Supplies

The species of timber which form
the bulk of our export trade, except
Douglas fir, are these of which the
supplies are most depleted. Thus
southern yellow pine forms half of oui
entire export trade, and the avail
able supply is only 222 billion feet Al
the present annual cut of saw-log
size timber of nearly II billion board
feet there remains only about IA years
cut of the original supplies.
That these figures are not mere
theoretical calculation is proved by
an official statement recently issued
by the Southern Pine Association
estimates that SIG per cent of the
mills will cut out their supplies in
years, 95.3 per cent in 10 years, and
80 per cent in Is years.

Demonstration in
Swine Breeding

With the aid of the extension loan
fund which has been created by public
spirited citizens of North Carolina for
financing worthy boys and girls in
raising purebred live stock, various
county agents in that State are start
ing demonstrations in swine breeding
which promise to be particularly con-
vincing to farmers in the localities
concerned, because the demonstrations
are to be carried on largely by resi-
dents of the neighborhoods.
The method being followed is for
the county agent to select promising
boy or girl in each of several districts
who will agree to raise SOW for a
given period. After a 4-acre plot suit
able for the demonstration has been
decided on and plans have been COM
pleted for improving it, an approved
note is given by the youthful stock
raiser to cover the purchase price Of
a SOW, the cost of fencing and erecting
enc or two colony houses. The pig
and the improvements are then pur-
chased with money advanced from the
extension loan fund.
The plan contemplates raising pigs
to the age of months. All animals
used in the demonstrations are to be
purebreds. The first North Carolina
farmer to whom this proposal was pre-
scented instantly agreed to cooperate
and set aside for his child four acres
near the highway along which many
people pass The tract is to be fenced
this winter according to the most ap-
proved methods and provided with a
model self-feeder and an automatic
waterer. A registered Poland China
SOW will take possession early in the
spring and will farrow March litter
in her new quarters. 1t is confidently
exepcted that in this demonstration,
as in the others being arranged IN
various parts of the State the selected
animals will pay the expenses, 1nciud-
ing fencing and seeding the first year.

Making Sure of
Binder Irvine

The Tilted States has long depended
for much of Its supply Of binder
Irvine on henequen from Yucatan. The
of the supply during the
past several years has caused serious
anxiety lest there should be enough
binder Irvine to harvest the increasing
crops of grain in this country, and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has been making diligent efforts
to find new sources of supply or new
regions where binder-twine fibers may
be produced. The chief of the Bureau
of Plant Industry reports encouraging
results. The conditions in limited
areas, extreme southern Florida and
on the larger keys, are regarded as
suitable for the production of sisal
and henequen fbers, provided the cost
of land and of labor is not too high
to permit successful competition.
Henequen has been cultivated success
fully for several years in Cuba and the
plantations are being increased, but
thus far they produce scarcely enough
fiber to supply the cordage mills on
the island. Conditions are regarded as
favorable for the production of binder
Irvine fibers in limited areas in Haiti
and over much larger area in south
ern Santo Domingo. Experimental
paintings in Porto Rico have resulted
in the establishment of a commercial
plantation near Yauco and trial plant
ings near Quebradallas and on Mona
