OLD LANDMARK is. PRESERVED
Historic General Schuyler Mansion at
Albany, N. ", Associated With
i Revolutionary Times.

BY the dedication of the General
schuyler mansion at Albany, N. Y,
another interesting landmark of revO-
lutionary days was permanently pre-
served from the devastating hand of
modern Improvement, notes cOrre-
spondent. The house is 1916 years old,
having been built in 1862. Its recent
dedication by Governor Whitman,
marked the one hundred and fortieth
anniversary of the surrender Of Bur-
goyne at Saratoga. General Schuyler
took an active part in the campaign
against the invading British army from
the North, and, at Saratoga, he suf-
fered serious loss in the burning Of
the British of his country home and
mills. Notwithstanding this, he acted
the part of the chivairous conqueror
few days later, when he entertained
General Burgoyne and his staff, in
Guiding the Hessian general, Baron
Riedesel, and his wife, at his Albany
home, when, as prisoners of war, they
stopped there on the way to Boston.
With the single exception Of the IA
nous Washington headquarters at
Newburg purchased by the state in
l849, the Schuyler mansion is more
closely associated with revolutionary
times than any other of the historic
memorials purchased from time to time
BY the state for preservation.

Meaning of "Sinn Fem"

"Sinn Fein" pronounced Shinn
Fain) is Celtic expression meaning
Yourselves Alone" and is the name and
motto of an Irish party which con-
strues it as meaning both for and by
the Irish alone. 1t dates actively from
1906 and claims to be more practical
and comprehensive than any of the old
parties that have aimed at Irish indie
pendence or self-government. Among
other things, it proposes to establish q
purely Irish parliament, army and
navy, mint, civil and consular service,
Judiciary and school system; also the
economic reorganization of Ireland by
It's own people on a purely Irish basis,
including merchant marine, stock ex-
change, banks, etc.; all official and
business matters and correspondence
to be conducted in Gaelic, the use of
English language to be boycotted in
public offices, schools and business.
These and many other interesting re-
suits are to be accomplished by pas
sive means and peaceable methods. 1t
Is not stated exactly how, but by come
kind of social and political pressure
without violence.

WAS CALLED BY WASHINGTON
First Cape Cod Canal Engineer to Be
Pressed Into Service Because Of
Demand for Experts.

Thomas Machin, the engineer
charged by a committee appointed in
1776 by the colony Of Massachusetts
with the task of making the first sur
vey for the Cape Cod canal, was
drafted" as an army engineer by
George Washington before he could
make fair start on the survey, says
the Engineering News-Record. George
Washington's letter to the chairman
Of the committee which appointed Mr..
Machin read:
"The great demand we have for en-
gineers in this department has obliged
me to order Mr.. Machin hither to as
sist in that branch of the business"
This bit of American engineering
history is recounted by William Bar
clay Parsons, in paper published in
the Proceedings Of the American Soci-
ETY. of Civil Engineers) on the Cape
Cod canal, which was first proposed
more than three hundred years ago
and finally opened to commercial traf-
fee in 1914.

The West Point Course.

The course Of instruction at the
West Point Military academy requires
four years, and is chiefly mathemati-
cal and professional. Each cadet is
paid. by the government $500 a year
while at the academy, that sum being
about sufficient for his support. Only
one leave of absence is allowed dur
Ing the four years, and this is granted
at the end Of the second year. The
regular session of study and academic
duties continues from September l to
June 1, the intervening months being
spent in camp, where practical mill
tary training is given. At the end of
four years cadets are graduated and
commissioned as second lieutenants
in the United States army.

tons Prevailed Over Large
Part of State.

The following crop production sum-
mary of the 1917 season for North
Dakota, as compiled by the bureau Of
crop estimates, department Of agri-
culture, has been given out at the
office of Field Agent A. j. Surratt:
Influenced by patriotic motives and
further attracted by prospective
profitable market prices for all farm
products, farmers seeded the largest
acreage ever recorded in North Da-
kota, or slightly more than 14,5OOO,-
900 acres. This is about z per cent
above the acreage usually grown.
North Dakota leads the United States
in acreage of spring wheat, barley,
rye and flax.
Excepting wheat, the acreage of
all crops was substantially increased.
The increase which ordinarily would
have been credited to wheat was more
than accounted for in the tremendous
increase in rye acreage. An unusual
amount of new land was broken up
in central and western sections, re-
sulting in a heavy increase in flax
acreage.
Adverse weather conditions pre-
vailed over a greater part of the state
following the planting of this large
acreage. Chief damage factors were
drought and frosts. The seasons de-
ficient rainfall with spotted distribu-

ton caused very uneven yields In
practically all counties, but climatic
conditions were comparatively more
favorable in the eastern part Of the
state, where numerous favorable
yields were recorder, especially Of
wheat in northern and central Red
River valley counties. Speaking in y
general way, crop yields were fair in
the eastern third of the state with few
exceptions. Crop yields in the re-
mainder of the state were poor as
rule, excepting some fair wheat yields
largely confined to Emmons, southern
Morton, Grant and Mcintosh, eastern
Dunn, western Mercer, northern Di-
vide and Burke counties. Straw
growth short in this area. The un-
fortunate feature Of this seasons
crop production was the unusually
short crop of forage and grain feeds,
especially in the western two-thirds
of the state. Owing to this condition
and attractive meat prices, live stock
marketing has been unusually heavy.
The disappointing production over the
greater part of the state was to some
extent offset by the unusually high
market prices paid for nearly all farm
products, but due to unequal distri-
button of production the eastern third
Of the state reaped the larger part of
the profits. Rye and wheat were the
best of the 1917 grain crops. The
value of the 1917 wheat crop has been
exceeded only by that of 1915. Owing
to the large acreage and high market
prices, the total value of the rye and
barley crops is the high record for the
state. The yield per acre of corn,
oats, flax, hay, potatoes and garden
truck has seldom been lower than
1917 yields. The December final Of
the important crops follow:
