The "Cat Squadron"

Great Britain was the first naval
power to build the battle-cruiser. Close
on her heels came Germany, Russia
and Japan; but all others, including
the United States, have no battle
cruisers in their line of battle. Ii was
in 1907 when the IndOmitable, the first
one, was begun. One year later she
crossed the Atlantic at speed of IA
little more than % miles an hour. The
InfleXible and Invincible followed, and,
when the European war came, Great
Britain had squadron that proved
of immense worth to her. In the Jut-
land battle, however, three of the Brit

armOr of Il superdreadnaught would
most probably have proved too strong
for the shells that destroyed these bat

Lion and Tiger, is today the last word
in the battle cruiser; but i'm few

that are now being built will far out

ment for them is the mud of ponds and
lakes.
Lilies have certain enemies that
have to be reckOned with. Rats,
swans and aquatic birds often pull
them to pieces.
If you are planning water garden
as a means of raising lilies, select
place open to the sun renewed by a
small inflow and protected from rough
winds by a protection of shrubs or
small trees.
In artificial pools, prepared soil
made of mixing loan with a little sand
and some of the rich deposit of leaves
and mud found on the bottom of the
pools.
Try to keep the plants far enough
apart to keep them distinct. Some
lilies are easily increased from seed,
some are sterile and others are slow in
terminating. Weeds must be kept
under.
The beauty of lilies as they grace
fully lie upon the surface Of the water
garden lends particularly pretty pic
torial note to the home garden.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, OvercomeS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for

COLLECTING FLOWER SEEDS

L is desirable to save ones seeds,
not only as matter of economy, but
as a means of improving the variety.
In collection of annual plants, all
from the same stock of seed. there will
be considerable variety presented.
Some may vary from the general
stock in the size or color of the flow
er and others in the habit of the plant.
These peculiarities are not certain
to be reproduced. but the probability
is that some of the seeds from such
plants will show them; and by follow
ing course Of selection one can in
a few years establish a variety that
will come constantly true from seed.
1t has been found In practice that
though popularity may not show IT.
self very strongly the first year. it will
manifest itself the next year If the
grower perseveres.
Ii Is well to mark those plants, the
seeds of which are to be saved. while
the plants are i'm full bloom, and not
trust to memory.
In bed of plants from which seeds
are to be saved, promiscuously, and
when il is desirable to have all one
color. those of a different shade from
the required, must be pulled out as
soon as they show themselves.
Some seed pods open with a jerk as
soon as ripe and scatter the contents
for a distance. Some open by hole
or crack, and as the plant is swayed
by the wind the seeds are gradually
sifted out.
In other cases there is no provision
for the scattering of the seeds, but the
fruit of seed vessels must decay be-
fore they are liberated.
1t is not necessary to wait until
seeds are dead ripe before collecting
them. A little experience teaches one
to know the point at which II is safe
to gather.
Those seed vessels which in break
ing scatter the seed, should be gath
cred just before they open. and be
allowed TO pop under some convenient
cover.
AS soon as the seeds are gathered,
put label with them, and when they
are thoroughly dry. clean and store
them away.
The manner of cleaning seed is va
ried, according to circumstances, stiff
ing. gently winnowing, rubbing be-
tween the hands being resorted to ac-
cording to the kind of seed.
A series of small sizes of mesh will
accomplish most of the work.

BEST GRASS FOR DRY AREAS

Bronze grass is probably the best Of
the cultivated grasses to grow in dry
areas. When established it will fur
nish grazing early in the season, not so
early as winter rye, but earlier than
the native grasses.
1t will also furnish grazing in the
autumn proportionate to the amount
of the precipitation.
During the entire season, therefore,
1t should furnish more grazing than
the native grasses.
