The result of the investigation

had been grossly under-assessed

HINTS ABOUT FLOWERS

We usually think of pruning only
when plant is asleep. 1t is true, that
the easiest pruning should be done
then, but there is much that we can
do during the summer to keep a plant
in good condition.
The lilac is usually the best pruned
shrub we have, for the simple reason
that we are apt to pick every bloom.
The plant cannot OF course then make
any seeds and the strength is thrown
into new wood where it belongs
Rose bushes should be treated the
same way. A second bloom can be
produced on wistarSa by following this
rule and cutting head of each runner.
Along towards tae middle of sum
mer you will notice new, very strong
shoots coming upon your plants. When
they reach an even height with the rest
Of the plant nip Out the tip and leaves
with your thumb and finger and thus
make the shoot send out some side
branches.
Manure must never be used next
the DuIDS.
Hardy phlox is very attractive and
few perennials equal it in length of
bloom. Strong field grown plants set
out now will become established be-
fore winter and make the border bril-.
liant next summer.
All lilies do best when planted in
the autumn. To make the best pos
sible lily bed remove one foot of soil
then cover the soil below with two
inches of dried manure. Turn this
under with garden fork, mixing it
we'll with the soil. Cover this with
six inches of coarse sand and on the
sand place the lily bulbs, setting them
twelve inches or more apart. When
the bulbs are all in position cover
them with six inches of the top soil,
and next spring you will have a bed
of lilies to be proud of.

way to make up for "The Marriage of

soul with characteristic variations on
the idiom, "Scusi, meester, try do my

SINGING While in Danger.

Though there is no definite rule laid
down in the British naval regulations,
yet it has become an unwritten one
for the officers to instruct their men
to sing when they are in great danger,
as for instance, when their ship has
been mined or torpedoed and is sink
ing.
Thus many of the men on board the
Formidable went bravely to their
deaths singing "Tipperary." A popu-
lar song, as a rule, is ordered to be
sung because most of the sailors
know it, and collective singing puts
more heart in them and helps them to
hang on as long as possible till help
comes.
Some years ago some sailors from
the Vernon were blown up in Ports
mouth harbor. 1t was in the middle
of January, and an icy blizzard made
things worse than usual. The lieu:
tenant in command, who was swim
ming in the water, yelled out to his
men, who were also battling for their
lives, "Sing Bill Bailey" and prob
ably that once popular song was never
sung under stranger conditions. It
is said that the lieutenant swan
round and punched the heads of those
who weren't singing

KEEP LAWN WELL ROLLED

To make good lawn the soil re-
quires frequent rolling. In the first
place a good lawn cannot be produced
in one, two or three years, that is,
perfect lawn, without depression and
with a soil surface as smooth as
floor.
A lawn roller can be made, without
much expense, from cement, using
gas pipe for the axle and frame. The
form for setting the cement may be
of wood, using very narrow Stats or
galvanized iron. In case the latter Is
used, the form may be left on the
roller, and if it is kept dry and pro-
tected from the weather, it will last
long time.
A handy size for a lawn roller is
one about 20 inches long by ii inches
in diameter. If one has the proper
tools, which consist of wise and a
thread-cutting tool, a roller can be
made in a short time, and at very
little expense.
