NG'SLANDS YIELD
MILLIONS TO STATE
England Collects $500, 900
in Year from Rich
Properties.

WINDSOR. England, - One of the
biggest landlords in England is King
George V.
He has lands comprising 276,oo0
acres, OF which los, 1000 are agricultural
The rest are house, store and manu-
featuring property.
Not only is the King one Of the larg
est. but he is also one OF the most ef-
ficient owners Of land in the kingdom.
From his lands the nation derived dur
ing the last fiscal year the record sum
Of $500, 600. which is exactly double
the yield of 1915.
In Regent Street.
The most profitable of the Kings
property is large section OF Regent
street. London. Before the street was
rebuilt several years ago the income
was S22o, 900. 1t Is now $l,500.o00.
1t is the nation. however. and not the
King. which has benefited through these
increases. The King receives fixed al
lowance of $2.SSo.00o year. When this
amount was determined, however, the
royal domain income was only $2,-
100000.
The Kings lands are daily being de-
veloped. A little woodland city of / 200
acres Is rising In the midst Of Windsor
Great Park II this proves a success
another $500 acres will be used in the
same way. Great care is being taken TO
make the little city thing OF beauty
Every house will have at least an acre
OF ground. For every tree destroyed
s.lotneF must be planted.
When q British monarch comes to the
throne il is his usual practice TO sur
render the income from his lands in re-
turn for fixed allowance from the
state. He is not forced to make this
agreement. however, and it would be his
constitutional right to resume possession
OF his lands IL he preferred.

MANSARD ROOFS SEEN
PASSING INTO DISCARD
Once Popular Architectural Treat
nent Now Rarely Employed by
the American Builders.

Mansard roofs, once a common ar
chitectural treatment in this country,
are now rarely seen. and the buildings
Of the era which produced them in
large numbers about 20 or so years
ago seem q direct link with American
history Of the ''rnauve decade" and
earlier.
Mansard. q French architect Of the
seventeenth century. is said to have
originated. or, at least, to have popu-
iarixed, the roof which bears his name
because Of peculiar old law in France
which taxed buildings according to
their wall area. The lower part Of the
manSard room, 50 nearly vertical as to
be virtually q wall, got around this
Law In easy fashion.
ManSard Is also a term applied to
the dormerS of mansard roof, which
Is almost fat on top, with steeply
pitched side sections, something like
the Dutch Colonial roof carried TO an
extreme degree.

West Creamery Adds
Another Cheese Unit
To Serve Dairymen

The West Creamery Company recent
ly added a cheese plant to their equip
ment and same is operating full ca
pacity, according to a statement given
out by E. w. Eubank, vice president of
the establishment. An interesting in
terview is given out by him relative to
the success of the addition that was
tried as an experiment by the plant to
determine if the territory would re-
spond. Mr.. Eubank states:
"Our cheese plant is operating to its
full capacity and we have wired for an
other 1000 gallon cheese vat and double
row press. We have not covered hardly
any of our territory and then have to
get more machinery to take care of it.
We are making over 500 pounds of
cheese a day and we think we can more
than double this when our other vat
and press arrives.
t'The peculiar part of it is that our
sbu tier business picked up instead of
falling short when we began making
cheese. Some of this is an increase in
production and some, an increase in
cows.
"We have also built self-hog feeder
to care for the hogs we carry along to
eat the milk and whey, County Agent
Williams directing the building of the
feeder, and we have about IS pigs and
shoats at present and expect to add
more to our bunch soon, which will
greatly increase the profits that had
had been loss heretofore, owing to this
part going to waste.
"Holmes county is fast becoming
dairying section, for markets abound for
milk products, whether the dairyman
chooses to sell whole milk or cream.
They have improved their herds, are
planning to raise their own feeds, and
many idle acres are going to be re-
claimed through the medium of dairy
cows. Chickens and hogs are readily
raised where dairying is practiced for
the necessary items of feed are fur,
nished still leaving the bulk of the
milk for cash income"
