church property and found it so nice
that they fixed up and lived in it with
comfort and hilarity.
His old neighbors say that Mr. Van
Wyck isn't pretty, but he's pretty
well fixed, y SO he can live as he likes.
He and his wife first divided the audi
torium by imaginary lines into parlor,
dining room, art gallery and bedrooms
and used the vestry for a kitchen. Later
they put up some partitions, and SO
there they were, for how long they did
rot say.
Their business in Washington is 20
superintend repairs on their other prop
erty there. They have beautiful home
in Nebraska and soon left for that state
to put their daughter in a boarding
school, but with q promise to return and
occupy their church for some time. Last
winter they lived at the Portland hotel
in Washington, and Mrs. Van Wyck' 5
entertainments were accounted very
pleasant affairs indeed. The senator has
grown more radical since leaving Office,

sage in 1887, has been fulfilled almost

Ex-senator Charles II. Van Wyck is
known to the country as an active, in
dependent sort Of politician who was
Republican senator from Nebraska, got
too Independent for his party associates
and was defeated for recollection, charged
his defeat to the railroads and became
a Populist in the race for governor Of
Nebraska. He is independent in many

A great landmark in Washington is
the little old vine clad church at the cor

used for Swedenborgian services It was
sold about the time Senator Van Wyck's
term closed, and he bought it for lit

Houses near two centuries old are al
most as scarce as the proverbial hens
teeth even among the older settlements
Of these United States Perhaps it is
just as well that they are, too, for there
seems to be a prevalent latter day Opin

like the house itself, seem to be in prime
condition..
This ancient house is situated in the
oldest section of New Paltz. 1t is known
as the Du Bots house, from its builder,
Louis Du Bots, one of the HuguenOt
refugees who settled in Ulster county
in the seventeenth century Within
hailing distance are a number of other
houses nearly as old, the Hasbrouck
house dating from 1912, and the Eltinge
house from 1718, and several more be-
longing to the same era. All Of them
are built Of stone and cement, with
walls feet thick, and that there were
no Buddensiecks in the days of their
construction is attested by the fact that
all of them are still inhabited.
It is one Of the ironies of circum-
stances that the bricks for the chimneys
of these houses were brought over from
Holland, though there was an abundance
of good brick clay in the Immediate
vicinity, and there are brickkilns today
within mile Of the neighborhood where
they are located 1t is scarcely possible
that the modern mania for imported ar
tlcles had thea begun to manifest itself,
so it must be that there was no one
among the refugees who knew how to
make bricks. That they knew how to
hew timber, however, the immense
beams which they put in these houses

Here is an experience Of Polk
county farmer in feeding wheat to
hogs, as detailed in the Crookston
Times; "He is feeding wheat to hogs
and in order to know just the returns
in pork per bushel of wheat, he
weighed his hogs and wheat. The
experiment has progressed far enough
to assure him of at least SO cents per
bushel for his wheat. He has made
1856 pounds of pork out of Is bushels
of wheat which makes the pork cost
him p cents per pound At this rate
the wheat would net him nearer $1.20
than 60 cents. To carry the expert
ment still farther, he kept record on
one, pig, and the result was gain
of &c pounds in Is days. This is re-
markable, and proves that If the farm
er can have his pigs Uttered early in
March, he can turn off his pork early
in the fall weighing $50 pounds per
hog. The food is rich and the hog
will eat of it until he can't hold any
more, and the quality of the pork is
fully up to corn fed product"
