Profit in Woodland if
Only Big Trees Are Cut

There is a great deal more profit in
lumber from farm woodlands when
only the. large, mature trees are cut
and the small trees left to grow into
another crop. The United States For
est Service has found that maple trees
less than IL to IA inches in diameter
actually do not pay their way through
band sawmill.
There is about 10 times as much
lumber in a tree 20 inches in diameter
as in 9-inch tree. But since the lum-
Der in the larger tree is worth about
twice as much per foot, the total value
is SO times as great.
Selective cutting removes the great
est value with the least volume. 1t
leaves small trees as windbreak and
allows them to grow faster because
they no longer need to compete with
big trees for moisture, sunlight, and
space to spread their crowns. A farm
er in doubt as to how to cut his wood
land for lumber is advised to get in
touch with state forester, his state
college of agriculture, or his county
agricultural agent.

Twice Sworn In

TWO of our Presidents had the
= distinction of being inaugurated
twice in the same term. They were
Rutherford Birchard Hayes and Cal
vim Coolidge.
Hayes inauguration day, March
4, 1877, came on a Sunday so the in
auguration ceremonies were sched-
uled for the following Monday. But
because tradition had established
March as the date for a Presi-
dent to take the oath of office,
Hayes took it on Sunday as a pre-
caution against there arising any
question of the legality of his TAX
ing it on March 4. He took it
again the following day when ne for
NAL inauguration ceremonies were
l-eld.

flee was administered to Calvin
Coolidge in the lamp-lit Vermont

that few days later second oath
was administered to him in room
in the Willard hotel in Washington
by A. A. Hoehling, who was a JUS
tice of the District of Columbia SUI
preme court.
Harry M. Daugherty, then attor-
ney general, had questioned the va
lidity of the first oath administered
to Coolidge. AS a justice of the
peace, Colonel Coolidge was a state
officer and therefore presumably
had authority to swear in state Of
ficials but not federal officers. So
Daugherty secretly arranged the
ceremony in the Willard and on

the oath of office for President sec
ond time.

Name? Nome!

THE city of Nome in Alaska has
L the distinction of being the near
est American town, of any impor-
lance, to the Old World 1t is less
than $50 miles from the mainland
of Asia:
Another distinction lies in the fact
that it was named by mistake. In
the early maps of Alaska one cape
which juts out into the Boring sea
was left nameless. An official, to
whom a draft of one of these maps
was submitted, penciled beside it
the query 'Name?"
A copyist transcribed that
scrawled question as Nome" and
the name stuck. Eleven miles to
the west little settlement, called
Anvil City, sprang up. In the au-
tumn of 1898 gold was discovered in
one of the creeks inland near this
town. Then came the stampede of
the year 1899, when Anvil City adopt
ed the name of the cape and be-
came Nome.

Feeding Grain Mixture

The amount of grain mixture fed to
cows when on pasture depends, to
great extent, upon the individual pro-
duction, but where a COW is producing
more than II pounds of milk day,
one pound Of grain for each five to
seven pounds of milk produced will be
sufficient, according to an authority at
the North Carolina State college. This
amount, in addition to the pasture will
usually maintain the animal in good
flesh and permit maximum milk pro-
duction. An average cow eats enough
grass in day to maintain her body
and produce about two gallons of milk.
If she is capable of producing more
milk, the grass must be supplemented
with the grain mixture in such guam
tity as to secure the maximum pro-
duction.

Contour Burrows
Control Erosion
Level Base Does Not Allow
Water to Wash Down
the Hillside.

BY W. g. KINCANNON, Soil Conservationist
North Carolina State College
WNU Service.
Contour furrowing to control erosion
is highly recommended by specialists
of the soil conservation service and the
North Carolina State college agricul-
tural extension service.
When the pillow is run along the con-
tours of the land, the burrows are level
and will aid greatly In checking the
run-off of rain water.
A furrow with level base does not
allow the water to wash down the hill
side, but holds and distributes it regu-
larly over the field. The water is given
chance to soak into the ground.
Contour furrowing is especially rec
commended for pastures or fields where
erosion has reached serious proper
lions.
If the land is badly cut up with
gullies, the burrows should be closed
at the edges of the gullies. But if the
field has only shallow depressions, the
burrows may extend across them, pro-
vided the burrows are curved so as to
keep their bases on level.
BY taking the water out of gullies,
farmers can give grass and other ero-
sion-resisting crops chance to grow.
AS time goes on, the land will again
become tillable 1t will also produce
valuable pasturage.
In erosion-control demonstration
areas, contour furrowing has proved
to be an effective method of stopping
soil-washing and conserving moisture.

Hypnotism Long in Use
for Medical Treatments

Psychologists in universities, while
investigating the mechanism of the
human mind, often employ hypno-
tism to bring to the surface it's hid
den workings, while physicians have
legitimately used it many times in
making cures of certain kinds of
cases-such as drug addiction or al
coholism.
Hypnotism is not a mysterious
force flashed over hundreds of miles
by the power of some dark hypnotic
eye, writes Prof. A. H. Estabrook in
the Scientific American. A hypno-
tized person is much like one who
walks in his sleep. If you can find
such person and start a converse
ton without waking him, you are in

Maturity Of Fur Seals

Fur seals are remarkable in that
the bulls do not reach maturity un-
til they are six or seven years old,
whereas the cows give birth to their
first pup when only three years OF
age after a period of CESSATION OF
over eleven months. The bulls at
maturity average upward of 500
pounds each in weight, while the
mature females average only about
IS pounds. Experimental marking
has shown that bulls attain a maxi
