quite so expeditiously as IL could dis
pose of one In close order. For not
only does the extended order separate
the men, but in that degree increases
their chances of escaping bullets, but
II also affords them infinitely bet
ter chances Of finding cover while adj
vancing.
To deploy "as skirmishers," which
is the descriptive command for extend
ed order drill, the corporal at the COM
mand of execution, march," springs
in front of the squad, if he does not
occupy that position already. At
a run, the other members of the squad
place themselves abreast of the cor
pOral at half pace intervals. Since a
pace is 30 inches, there is Is inches
of space between men so deployed, in
stead Of the four inches of close order.
No. 2 Of the front rank springs 70
the corporal's immediate right. No. 2
of the rear rank takes station to the
immediate right of No. 2 front rank.
No. / front rank is on the immediate
right of No. rear rank, and No. 1
rear rank on the right Of No. l front
rank. On the corporal's immediate left
is No. 3 rear rank, who has No. 8,
front rank, on his left, while on No.
3 front ranks left is the remaining
member of the squad, No. rear rank.
In other words, with the exception
of No. 4 rear rank, in extended order
the rear rank men all place themselves
on the right of their respective file
leaders, and each front rank man, in
springing to the side of the corporal,
leaves room for the rear rank man of
the same number to step into his prop
er position in the skirmish line.
If there are any extra men in the
squad (Which sometimes happens), they
fall in at the left of No. 4 rear rank, or
at the extreme left of the skirmish line.
In moving, the entire line conforms to
the corporal's gait, whether that be
route step, double time, or still fast
er running. Deployed as skirmishers,
squad does not keep step; but it
must take pains to see that space
of 10 inches is maintained between
each man. A common error is for the
men to bunch after few steps for
ward have been taken.
Inasmuch as the normal interval be-
tween skirmishers is one-half pace, or
Is inches, each man has practically
one yard of front. The front of a
squad thus deployed is ten PAGES, or
% feet.

EXTENDED ORDER.

Everything we have taken up so far
from "the school of the squad" except
take interval" and "take distance"
has been "close order" drill.
Close order is necessary for march.
ing, parade and disciplinary purposes,
but in modern warfare-that is, out
side of trench-a squad fights in ex-
tended order. Even in a trench, the
principle of the extended order is main
tanned; that is to say, the distance be-
tween rifles is approximately the same
as when deployed on its skirmlsh line.
OF all the great armies in Europe, the
Germans alone at the present time
send troops into battle in close order,
or "massed formation" with the result
that their casualties are appalling.
Extended order, on the other hand, q
Characteristic of American troops, is
also uniformly practiced by the allied
armies. The purpose of extended or
der is so to distribute the men Of q
squad that they may work In unison
and without serious reduction Of the
amount of fire which can be delivered
from a single section of the line, but
which at the same time leaves suffi-
cient space between them to minimize
the chances of their being hit.

skyline" LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Campo
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Then the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and
Washington skyline" method Of log
ging is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method Of
dragging out logs from the forest by
a donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The skyline plan is to
run a cable through blocks or pulleys
suspended at great height on giant
trees, so as to form a sort Of trolley
line by which the logs are hoisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other Obstruc-
tons to the rollway, where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one of the main
lines, while the other is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
is lowered with its block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked up /;
it is then pulled taut, raising the log
with It by means of a "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air a log can, of
course, be moved much faster than Cd
the ground.

CITIES DEMAND GRADED EGGS
Standard Requires That Dozen Must
Weigh at Least Twenty
Four Ounces.
BY PROF. c. H. BURGESS,
Department of Poultry Husbandry,
Michigan Agricultural College.

East Lansing, Mich.-The old notion
that IAN egg is an egg" and being such
must be no more, has fallen into dis
repute i'm city markets. If eggs are
shipped into a city of any size they
are subjected to examination and
classified into different grades. This
is a fact with which many poultrymen
are well acquainted, but there are
others perhaps who are still unaware
that such grading is practiced.
First of all, the eggs must be up to
weight. East of the Mississippi a
dozen of eggs must weigh "a ounces.
Next is color Some markets demand
a certain color. 1t is not in the mind
of the writer to enter into a discussion
of the merits and dement's of this
point. The nutritive value Of white
eggs and brown eggs is the same.
New York markets, for instance, de-
maDd the white egg; the Boston mar
kets demand the brown. A 26-ounce
egg Is an ideal egg. If "A dozen ex-
ceeda this amount they are hard TO
ship without breaking. The eggs must
also be fresh. To be classed as
'firsts" they must be newly laid, must
be clean, and must have a strong,
smooth shell. The air cell must be
small, and the egg must be free from
cracks.
Cheeks" are fresh eggs which pos
sess all OF the qualities above stated
but are cracked. They must not leak,
however. "Leakers" are like the above
except that they have lost part of
their contents.

East Lansing, Mich.-Bare cherry

be found in numerous Michigan or
chards this season-though the condi-
ton is more or less an annual one.
These trees, stripped as clean as II

known as leaf spot" 1t gives warn
ing of its unwelcome presence early
in the season by causing the foliage to
become yellow, or take on a ragged,
shothole appearance.
But before discussing remedies, a
few words about the nature of the
trouble may not be amiss. Leaf spot
is caused by "A parasitic fungus. This
fungus is a tiny plant so small that ii
requires a microscope TO bring out the
details of its form, and like all para
sites, it steals its living from its host
Because of its small size the fungus
is able to enter the plant through the
leaves, and when ii has done this II
grows in the tissues and produces
brown, dead spots. Sometimes these
spots become dry and brittle and are
eventually whipped out by the wind
making the leaf look as though it had
been peppered with shotgun. In
other cases dark spots about one-siX.
