occasion to remember the winter of

this to say; Neal Hall was down
from his Canyon creek ranch this
week for few days, and said he
had been in Grant county for the
past fifty-five years and that dur
ing all that time the present winter
was worse than anything he had pre-
viously experienced. He had seen
winters that for a brief period were
more severe, but he had never be-
fore seen a winter five months long

Raise Turkeys on Ranches.

Exclusive turkey ranches are found
In the unsettled foothin regions Of Cal
ifornia and in parts of Arizona and
other Western states, where a thou
sand or more turkeys are raised each
season
The establishments are located
where the range Is unlimited and the
natural food of the turkey, such as
grasshoppers and other insects, green
vegetables and the seeds OF various
weeds and grasses, is abundant. Ad-
vantage also is taken on these ranches
Of the turkeys relish for acorns, and
where these are plentiful but little
grain need be used for fattening in
the fall.

managed much like herds OF sheep. be-

PLATOON COMMANDS.

When the company is in line, to form
columns of platoons, the command is,
"PlatOons right Qef)." This is exc
cuted by each platoon as in the school
of the company.
The right flank men in the front
rank of each platoon face to the right
in marching and mark time. The other
front rank men oblique to the right,
place themselves abreast OF the pivot
men, and mark time. In the rear rank,
the third man from the right in each
platoon followed in column by the
second and frst) moves straight to the
front until in the rear of his front rank
man. Then all three face to the right
in marching and mark time. The re-
manning men of the rear rank move
straight to the front for four PAGES,
oblique to the right, place themselves
abreast of the third man, cover their
file leaders and mark time.
Before executing this movement with
platoons, the captain makes it point
to see that the guides on the flank
toward which the movement is to turn
are covering-that is, are in straight
row, so that the pivot men, whose po-
sitions are governed by those of the
guides, will also be in a straight row,
which will bring the platoOns into a
precise column. This is effected by
previously announcing the guide to
that flank.
Following the command, aPlatoons

command is to the company as q
Forward, MARCH" or ''Com-
pany, HALT"
Being in columns OF platoons, TO
change direction, the command is, ''COl-

NEW" WEAPONS REALLY OLD
Shell Outqrowth of Missiles EN-
pIoyed Long Ago by Chinese.

Many of the new weapons pro-
duced by the world war are really very
old. Thus the asphyxiating bomb is
an outgrOwth of a missile employed
long ago by the Chinese. Instead of
deadly chemicals, it contained some
substance that emitted a nauseOus
OdOr, accompanied by sitting smoke.
Later this device appeared in Europe
and was known by the inelegant but
expressive name of ''stink-pot."
Another Chinese war method paved
the way for incendiary shells. They
invented q rocket, later adopted and
widely used by the Saracens. which
fired a kind Of ball having claws or
hooks that would catch hold to the
side of a building and set fire to it.
These balls were made of petroleum
and inter, which became famous in
the later ages as Greek fire.
The German device of throwing Pc
troll upon an enemy by means Of a
pump was used long ago, when an at
lacking ship often spouted flames at
the object of its assault. This plan
was reserved for close quarters, and
frequently resulted in the destruction
of the vessel so attacked.

Paper-covered Novels.

Paper-covered novels have lost none
of their attractiveness through the
half-century since they were written.
The choice of titles is not their least
alluring feature. Admirers OF Ned
Buntline, who did not like his title OF
1.-THE White Cruiser as being too col
Orless, might purchase it on account
of its more mysterious alternative
designation, or, The Fate of the IN
heard-Of." Almost anybody would
like to know the fate of the Unheard-
of. Most of the dime novels were pub
Hshed in square twelvemOs, but this
was an octave, issued in New York in
1858. They filed a want, if not long

A party which plans an exploring
expedition in certain South American
rivers has purchased a shallow water
motor boat. The craft is % feet long,
has an eight-fOOt beam and is equipped
with an 1S-inch propeller. The latter
projects less than ten inches below the
lowest point Of the keel, is situated in
we'll or tunnel, and operates at all
times in a solid column, which extends
upward from the tunnel, draws the
water up into the latter and the col
umn to a depth of at least four feet
nine inches. The boat has a draft
of but seven inches without a load,
and when carrying Is passengers
draws approximately ten inches of wa
ter. The motion of the propeller tends
to lift the boat from the water. The
boat is so shaped that it produces
practically no stern waves. The pur-
chasers believesthat it will prove par
ticuIarly adapted to exploring shallow
streams and inlets. 1t is large enough
to carry a good-sized party, together
with their camp equipment and all
needful supplies, for a considerable
| period.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.
