1. Future of the Horse Another scientists says that the horse is to be extinct, and he sets the date a century hence. The extinction process may be at work, says the Washington Star, but whether the horse will go to the vanishing point in that time one does not know. If horses would decrease in the same ratio as in the last ten years, it might be easy to tell when the last horse would give up his stall to an automobile and pass on to that realm where good horses should go, and perhaps where old Pegasus still rears and canters through the clouds. But the decrease in horse population -- or in "hippolation" -- may not decrease in arithmetical progression, and we may still find a horse on a farm near Washington as we now find a white turkey, a hand churn, a muley cow, a hearth broom of sedge, or something else quaint and rare. --The Folsom Telegraph, 19 September 1924
