Corn is q very valuable crop for in
creasing the yields of grain. The
average yield of wheat on corn
ground 1906-1912 on the North Dakota
demonstration farms has been 20
bushels, while the average of wheat
after wheat was 12%. This means
a gain Of w bushels, or 81 per cent,
due to the corn crop.
The cultivation given the corn
saves moisture, kills weeds. and kills
grain diseases. This in a measure
explains the increase in yield.
The corn crop produces more feed
per acre than any other crop except
alfalfa. The/ear corn is the best fat

on the farm except roots. It has the
advantage over roots that the work
can all be done by machinery and 1t

have to be kept where they can not

The ensilase can be used to good
advantage In the summer, when pas
lures are poor. One of the best ways
to guard against short pastures is to
have some ensilage on hand.

Did you meet Ruth Hall when YOU were
in Princeton, N. j.? She is one of the most
intimate friends of Eleanor Wilson and
spends much time at the White House. She
and her mother have come to Washington
for the winter and have taken house at
1906 Hopkins place. Her father was the
late Major William R. Hall, of the medical
department of the army He has been dead
for about ten years.
Miss Hall is very sweet, and visited
Eleanor Wilson last spring. While she is
not of the bridal party, she is being invited
to all the dove" parties that are being given
for the White House bride.
The first regular hop of the season at
Washington Barracks will be given Novem-
ber Fl, and will be attended by the younger
element of society. 1t was at the benefit
Barracks hop last Easter that Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson and her daughters made their ap-

ton.

from the house on Capitol Hill which they
occupied all summer, to Congress Hall for
the winter.
The more hear of Angels in Art the

teresting is that a number of young society
men are going to act as ushers in the place
of the regular ones. They are DR.. Julian

ater party for her and there are to be num-
Der of entertainments during her s.ly.
One of the most plausible reasons given
for so few debutantes being announced this
fall is that every mother has been holding
back little on account Of the White House
wedding, knowing full well that that was the
all-absorbins topic, and, no matter how impor-
tant she considered her precious bud, her
coming out would be totally obscured by the
one great event. So far, only one bud has
blossomed, Flores Howard, of New Orleans,
who had to come up into the chill atmos-
phere to grow harder, and Mary Monfort
Gheen will come out on Saturday at nice
big tea, for which invitations have been sent
out. Mary belongs to the navy set, and is the
daughter Of Rear Admiral and Mrs. Gheen.

Senate and Lords.

The British house of lords is a
survival Of the ancient aristocracy
Of the kingdom, which for a long
time was supreme in all national
matters. When the democratic
sentiment won a place for itself in
the shape of the house of commons
the natural and apparently inde-
structible conservatism of the Brit
ish people held on to the house of
lords as check upon the commons
and a perpetual reminder of the an
cient institution. The senate of the
United States was the result of the
compromise struck between the Ma
tionalists and State Rights parties
in the convention that formed the
constitution. Some were for merg-
ing the representatives in a single
body, while others insisted upon the
second chamber (the senate) as
recognition of the political equality
of the states.

EARLY NEW YORK.
lite Name In the Year 1864 Was the
Towne of Mannados.

Towne of Mannados.
While many persons are aware Of
the fact that New York has not al
ways been SO called, having for a
time at least been known as New
Amsterdam, probably not one in
10000 is aware OF the fact that in
early days it possessed still another
and now forgotten name = the
Towne of Mannados. That this
was the case, however, is shown be-
yond the shadow OF doubt by
map which hangs in the armory of
the Old Guard of the city Of New
\ lork among its collection of early
Americana, the authenticity of
which is certified to by the manu-
script department Of the British
museum, IN whose possession is the
original from which the copy in the
possession of the Old Guard was
made.
AS a quaint representation of
early geographical ideas of what is
now Greater New York the map in
question is interesting. 1t is one of
the very few on which the name of
Towne Of Mannados is given pri-
ority over that of New Amsterdam.
The facsimile which hangs in the
Old Guard armory, certified as be-
ing a correct copy in every par
ticular, is entitled "a Description
Of the Towne Of Mannados, or New
Amsterdam, as 1t Was In Septem-
Der, 1864" If, however, the
"towne" at that time existed in the
shape indicated by the plan, ex-
tremely violent earthquakes must
have occurred since. The map,
curious illustration of early ideas of /
geography, shows New York, or,
rather, the Towne of Mannados, as
peninsula, jutting into an inclosed
bay formed by Hudson river" on
one side and an unnamed stream on
the other, probably regarded as its
continuation. To the west lies an
unexplored territory designated as
the "maine land" and to the east
"Longe Isleland."
What is probably Staten Island
is depicted as lying due west of
what is today Wall street, and the
only outlet from the inclosed bay
into which the Towne of Mannados
juts is single extremely narrow
pass between the "maine land" and
"Longe Isleland," which almost
meet at point in the vicinity of
what is now Sandy Hook. On either
side of this passage is the descrip-
tive title Heads" )"
That, in brief, was the idea of
the Towne Of Mannados in 1864.
1he plan also shows a spot marked
water Mill" at the mouth of a
stream which is probably the Har-
EN- river, while "Ye Governour's I
Iouse' is located at the extreme Il
outheastern part Of the island. /

.aguely mapped, hardly extends 4
