The Army and Navy Journal does not
think much of the bayonet. and doubts
whether that weapon has proved as

marks, "but when you search for any
substantial proof of them it is difficult
to find, and certainly it does not appear

the soil. Phenomenal crops have been
repeatedly obtained by their use.
