THE fleet of British battleships which sailed at the end of July under sealed orders from Portland In command of Sir George Callaghan is a division of the first home fleet of Britain. This diva. sion is known in the navy as the first fleet and is always kept ready, fully manned, for sea service. Neither the second nor the third fleet has been kept fully manned, as many of the officers and men are training on shore and would not be able to go Into action without first taking a period of train- ing at sea. The flagship of the commander in chief of the home fleet, Admiral Sir George Callaghan, is the battleship Iron Duke. She is of 26,400 tons dis- placement, 20,000 horsepower and has a speed of twenty-one knots. Her armament consists of ten 13.5 -inch guns in double turrets on center line, twelve six-inch guns mounted in an armored battery and six three -pound- ers. She has four torpedo tubes. The flagship of Vice Admiral Sir Le wis Bayly, commanding the first battle squadron, Is the Oollingwood. The oth- er battleships of the first squadron are the St Vincent, Hercules, Colossus, Neptune, Marlborough, Vanguard and Superb. These are among the biggest and moat powerful fighting ships in the world, costing about $12,500,000 each. The guns are mounted in pairs in tur- rets, one of which is placed in the bows, two side by side amidships and two astern, one behind the other. The weight of the projectile is 850 pounds, and it has a muzzle velocity of 2,000 feet a second and a range of about QUICK NAPTHA THE WOMAN'S SOAP, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORiA ate tat Photo by American Press Association.

Gamble, commander of this squadron. The Dreadnought is of 17,900 displace- ment, length 536 feet, beam 82 feet, draft 31 feet and speed 21 knots. She carries ten twelve -inch guns and twen- ty-four little twelve -pounder quick fir- ing guns. The Agamemnon Is of 10,- 500 displacement has four twelve -inch, ten 9.2 -inch, fifteen twelve pounders and live torpedo tubes.

In the eighth battle squadron besides six battleships are five dis- tinct cruiser squadrons of six, vessels each. The firathome fleet comprises in ad- dition to the vessels already mention- ed four distinct flotillas, each compris- ing a ernlser, a depot boat and fifteen to twenty torpedo boat destroyers. The second home fleet Is accompanied by a mine layer squadron of seven ships. Battle Cruisers. England's first home fleet comprises four vessels of the class known as bat - tie cruisers. Germany and England are the only nations in the group which have built any battle cruisers These are huge cruisers of high speed and of\great of- fensive power. They are in reality battleships, in which some thickness - of armor has been sacrificed in order to_permit the installation of .nowerful Photo by American Press Association, driving machinery to obtain speed. They might be called fast battleships. Wbat they lack in'armor is made: ups In speed. Still, they are heavily armor- ed, though not so heavily as are bat- tleships of the Dreadnought type. England has nine and Germany four of these battle cruisers. Squadrons In Far Waters. As Its name implies, the home fleet lies in home waters. The navy main- tains patrol flotillas to the number of four, besides a submarine flotilla num- bering forty-seven vessels. Each pa- trol flotilla comprises a cruiser and about twenty torpedo boat destroyers These vessels patrol the seas. In the Mediterranean squadron there are eleven cruisers, heavy and light, and ten destroyers The eastern squadron In China waters comprises six cruisers, six attached ships, ten river gunboats and eight destroyers Both the Mediterranean.and the east- ern squadrons are likely to become in- volved in case of a general European conflict Small squadrons, chiefly cruisers, are maintained in Australian waters, in the East Indies, around the Cape of Good Hope and off the went ..coast of America.' The Iron Duke. The new battleship Iron Duke, the first of the five large ships of the 1911. 12 program to be completed, was con- missioned. only last March for duty as the flagship of Admiral Sir George Cal- laghan, the commander in chief of the home fleets. The Iron Duke is the sister ship of tho Emperor of India.. She was laid Sown Jan. 15, 1912, and was over two years in construction. , The Iron Duke and the Emperor of India are the first Dreadnought ships In the British navy to carry the six ' inch gun, previous ships, with the ex- ception of the famous Dreadnought, first of her class, which was furnished with twelve pounders, mounting four Inch guns. Another unique feature of this class is the provision of two twelve -pounder guns on high angle mountings for use against aerial warships. The training and elevating gears of these mount - Ings are arranged to permit of large and rapid movements of the guns in both directions. The effective high angle ranges is stated to be about 7.1100 yards at an angle of not less than 80 degrees. The displacement of the Iron Duke and Emperor of India is 26,400 tons, speed 22J knots. The fleet flagship of the German navy is the Friedrich der Grosse, having a displacement of 24,310 tons and an armament of ten twelve -Inch guns. Great Britain's Best Ships.

Don't feed dirty grain to horses. The dust, weed seeds and other foreign matter in the grain are disagreeable to the animals and are injurious. Use a sieve to measure the grain, and give It e few shakes to allow the dirt and seeds to fall out before feeding. Some pour water over the grain In the sieve Ir dip the sieve of grain in a bucket or tub of water a few times. This is a good plan, as it removes all dust and smut The feed boxes are kept cleaner by treating the grain In this way be- fore feeding. Better Farming. Rye For Hay.
