The derelict U-boats haunt the

Ever since the armistice. Baltic
storms have washed mines upon the

have been made to sweep up these
dangerous relics Of the war. but it
will probably be years before either
the North Sea or the Baltic is free

1t is not at all uncommon for
fishermen to catch mines in their

Marquis of Linlith-
gov Accepts Dictates
of Postwar Purse

London, Jan. 30.-(By Mail).-
High taxation has forced another
British nobleman to desert 4 his
toric family seat and seek residence
more in accord with his postwar
pocketbook. Hopeton House, Lin
lithgowshire. a fine Italian mansion
set in stately domain OF beautiful
Versailles gardens. one Of the finest
country estates in Scotland. and the
home of the Marquis of Linlithsow,
is to be closed. Seventy employees
will be dismissed. or transferred to
other work. The estate has bee n
handed from father to son since
1903.
Local and imperial taxes are too
much for me-" the marquis told an
Edinburgh interviewer. Like Jack
Sprat and spouse, they leave moth
ing. A British noble lord. with no
vote in such matter, is in a class
with paupers and lunatics. Times
are changed and we are changed

Of England and Scotland truly is
difficult is evidenced by the fact that
before 1916 the Marquis had dis
posed of his pack of hounds and all
his horses except two chargers for
military service. Shooting rights on
his estate also were sold. Further
reductions are said to be impossible
without failure in the duty of land
lord.
Hopeton House Is one Of the treas

dotted with giant trees and inter-
sected by shady avenues. command
splendid views. taking in the whole
sweep of the Firth of Forth and the

February Poultry Notes

The incubator is not only a neces-
sity but an economy where early
chicks are wanted.
Do not breed from diseased birds
or those which have been diseased.
A strong chick is the offspring OF
healthy parents.
Brooding and caring for chicks is
far more important than Matching.
To chill the chicks is always fatal.
1t often costs something to learn
this.
One Of the best animal foods. both
to induce egg production and pro-
mote growth, is cut fresh bone.
Cold, damp land is no place for
poultry: that which dries soonest
after a rain is the best land on which
to raise fowls.
Outside of the breeding pens on
the farm no surplus males should
be kept. Too many males to bother
the laying hens are detriment:
none are needed
Fight lice, teeth and toe-nail. at
this season. We often think lice
kill more chicks than any other
thing.
A wagon load OF the fine gravel
and sharp sand thrown on the
ground in the poultry yard makes
it more sanitary and helps provide
grit.
1t is hard thing to do. but use
the Ratchet freely on ailing fowls.
Be sure that the aiment is not a
fault of the oaretaker.
A neighboring poultry man sowed
a large patch of ground to oats and
wheat and left the fowls to dig it
out for themselves after the seeds
sprouted. The hens were actively
scratching all day long. It was q
good plan. and we recommend it.
Scaly legs is caused by minute
parasite &igging away under the
scales of the fowl'c legs Apply car
bolated yaseline once a week until
cured.
Make the nest boxes Of ample size,
but not too deep. The hens, IL large
in size. will break the eggs in get
ting into the nest if it be too deep.
1t will soon be the season for cape
worms. and all yards not sown to
green feed should be spaded or
plowed up. II the worms are thick.
scatter lime about the yard before
