AMERICAN SHOOTING.
What the Recent Gun Practice of the In
diana Showed.

What the Recent Gun Practice of the In
diana Showed.
In gun practice the battleship Indiana
did some fine work that ought to be ex-
plotted as far as possible in Spain. Two
shots from her 13 inch guns were Put
through the same hole in one target.
These open sea targets for great gun
practice are small squares or triangles
Of canvas and toss about on the waves
in a most perplexing manner. The ship
is restless firing base, and accurate
marksmanship under such oircum-
stances is indicative of the highest
training in the Judgment Of distances
and the acceptance of opportunities.
In the war Of 1919 the American
gunners did some admirable work.
American gunners have always been
held in high esteem by other nations
and the recent performance by the men
of the Indiana may be taken as evidence
that the American eye is as clear as
ever and that the lanyards are pulled
with the same deadly precision as early
in the century. --Pittsburg Dispatch.

1t is the mich COW and not the steer

the beef steer at best 1900 pounds of
beef at two years, or 600 pounds per

In nutritive value one pound Of beef
equals three pounds Of milk. The 5000
