We entered the small front hall in
the middle of the house. Two doors
opposite each other admit US into the
two main rooms. At the back of the
hall, at our left, is an unattractive
staircase. The main rooms have odd
fashioned f1replaces with wooden
mantles ornamented with wreaths and
garlands. Under each window is a
seat. Back of the room at the left
is a larger hall extending across the
house, with q door at either end. The
north door is made in two halves, up
per and lower. Back of this hall is

the ceilings are about nine feet high. :
When we had assembled the front
stairs we took about three steps to
our right and at the top of q short
flight of stairs at our left is a small
room with low ceilings. This was
called the "dead ROOM" Any mem
Der of the family dying was laid in
this room. 1t was never used for any
other purpose. Going down from this
room and ascending short flight of
stairs in front of us we reached the
upper hall. The arrangement of the
three floors of this house is the same.
One room at the right, three at the
left.
How the House was built.
On July q. 1880, Kiliaen Van
Rensselaer,. a gentleman who resided
in Holland, purchased of the Indians
Through his agent a tract of land,
As miles one way and "a the other,
containing more than 100000 acres.
It was divided in two parts by the
Hudson river. The western half COM
prised the whole county of Albany
while the eastern half was more than
two-thirds of Rensselaer, county.
Later additional purchases were made.
It was found necessary to have
manor house and place of protection
against the hostile Mohicans and the
Lord PATRON, or the PATRON, as he
was called, ordered his agent to build
a fort. This he did in 1641, the date
which is cut on a stone in the cellar
wall, inside of this old building The
brick, shingles and nails used in it's
construction were sent from Holland.
The fort was named Crailo after the
PATRONS estate near Huizen.

SUCCESSFUL FARM SURVEY
MADE IN C0NNECTiCUT BY
DEFENSE COUNCIL AGENCIES
litChfe!d Leads and Four Others Follow in Census Ct
Agricultural ResourCes-ImpOrtant Move in Line
of Increasing Food Professionalism Than 1000
Volunteers Accomplish Task.

A war emergency census of all the
farms in five Connecticut counties has
been completed by a staff of volunteer
census takers, 1000 strong, and great
er food production and conservation
is the immediate result expected by
the Connecticut State Council of De-
Tense, which authorized the survey.
The work was done first in Litchfield
county and later taken up and COM
pleted in Fairfield, New Haven, Toll
land and Hartford counties.
Efficiency and speed characterized
the work in each county. The farmers
showed splendid cooperation by readi-
ly filling out the census blanks, thus
giving the state government needed
information regarding their resources
in labor, live stock and machinery, to-
gether with their plans for 1918 crops.
The thousands of census reports col
lected since the first day of the CAM
paign, March %, have been assembled
at the State Library in Hartford. This
week the extension live stock men of
the Connecticut Agricultural College
are doing important statistical work
with the individual census returns.
They are cooling the various breeds of
horses, cows, sheep, swine, poultry and
bees so that the state will possess a
live stock census classified by breeds.
Upon completion of their work State
Librarian George S. GODDARD will set
In motion the tabulation machinery
which performed Il great service for
the state last year in the tabulation of
the safe military census.
Fairfield, Hartford, New Haven and
Tolland counties conducted the agri-
cultural survey through their county
farm bureaus. Each town had from
six to fifteen practical farmers max
ing the canvass in their neighborhood.
They received their appointment from
the chairman of the local War Bureau
and were under the supervision of the
county farm agents and their assist
ants. Litchfield county's survey was
taken earlier in the year and served
as q working model. MidGleseX. New
London and Windham counties have
agreed TO take their farm census next

Some of the conspicuous advantages
of taking the farm survey have been
demonstrated while the actual census
was in progress County agents have
learned through perusal of census re-
ports that certain farmers had live
stock To sell or that others wanted 10
buy. With this knowledge they have
been able to bring together the men
who were in the market TO sell and
those who were ready to buy.
UnOccupied farms and those for sale
or to rent have been located by census
methods, and steps are being taken 10
utilize these farms this season because
of the patriotic necessity of securing
food from all tillable land. In Toll
land county the county agent was en-
abled through the census rc"orts To
place 5000 worth OF seeds with far!l-
ers who were planting their spring
wheat and who otherwise would have
been unable TO get ii.
Litchfeld county's recent survey Is
being followed up by having an expert
in farm machinery visit the farmers
who have grain harvesting and thrash
ing machinery. He is learning about
the condition of the machinery as Ia
whether it is in need of repairs and in
addition how much outside work the
owner can do for his ne. ghbors. Re
ports from the LitChfield county sur
.vey indicate that the farmers will
make gratifying increase In the area
of grain to be planted.
AS soon as the census reports are
turned over to State Librarian GODDARD
by the extension live stock men he
will proceed to tabulatc the labor re-
sources and employment needs of the
farmers, the intended crops for 1913
and the labor saving machinery on
hand AS the first farm census of
the state since 1915, its value cannot
fully be appreciated at this time be-
cause Of the many purposes which 1t
can fulfill both in war time and in
years of lace. 1t provides an agri-
cultural mailing list for the state gov
eminent that will be of inestimable
value in distributing necessary infor-
nation among the farmers and In turn
securing facts from them.

Mincemeat pie Is own cousin to
plum pudding, and when n is pres
emit at a festal board the other is sell
dom missed. The mince pie Is a men,
Der of the first families of American
foods.
But meat has taken on such airs
nowadays that its exhorbitant price
| threatens the very life OF our national
| treasure-the mincemeat pie. For
tunately, conservation cooks have de-
vised a pretty good meatless mince
meat, and here's the recipe.
Mock Mmcemeat Mix together
rinds of six large lemons. Halve the
| lemons and squeeze GU all the juice,
| then boil the rinds in water until ten
der, changing the water several times
to prevent bitterness. Add l tea
spoonful of salt to the first boiling
water. When tender, drain the rinds,
remove seeds, chop n and add the
grated rind and juice. To the lemon
mixture add 2 pounds of raisins and l
pound of currants, five cupfuls OF
brown sugar or strip. 6 apples chop
ped, l ~teaspoonful each of ground
/ mace and cinnamon and 1-2 teaspoon
full each of nutmeg and cloves. Mix
in 1 cupful of nut meats, 1 cupful OF
orange marmalade and l cupful of
! chopped suet. When well mixed, pack
into a stone jar, cover well and allow
to ripen at least two weeks.
Here is another recipe for camou-
lage mincemeat:
Mock Minccmeat Mis- together
thoroughly 1 cupful of raisins chop
ped fine. liz cupful OF currants. IA
t~easpoonful of salt. l tablespoonful of
vinegar. 2-3 cupful of molasses. IL
| cupful cider. 1-2 cupful of sugar. 1-2
cupful chopped citron and the chop
ped rind and Juice of 2 lemons. Roll
| fine two oatmeal crackers and mix
with 1 we'll beaten egg. Add to the
fruit mixture. This mincemeat may
be used at once in a pan lined n
covered with pie crust.
To give mince or other pies a fine
glaze beat the yolk of IN egg three
minutes and, Just before the pie Is
ready to remove from the oven, brush
the top crust with the egg and return
to the wen for four minutes. The
| glaze will be perfect and tempting.
