Aluminium Cooking Utensils.

At the recent manGuvres of the Six

providing the men with aluminium
cooking utensils. 1t has long been the
cry that the kit of the German soldier
is by far too heavy and 1t was with
the object of tightening his burden
that the experiment was made. The
result was in the highest degree suo-
cessful, the kit being lessened in
weight by several pounds, and the
utensils being found to wear well and
answer admirably The consequence
is that next year this metal win be
generally adopted throughout the

In pruning young seedlings after
