TURNING THE COMPANY ON A
 FIXED OR A MOVING PIVOT.

The company, like the squad, is turned on fixed or moving pivot. If q battalion or regiment is in line and it is desired to throw it into column of companies the movement is exc cuted by "companies right QefD" upon the same principle as squads right QefD." Likewise, if the battalion or regiment is in column of companies. and it Is desired to turn it back into a line of the battalion or regiment, the commands Companies right Qeft" will bring about this result, just as squads right QefD" will give the com pany front from column of squads. Also, companies in column, like squads in column, turn on moving pivot, when it is desired simply to change direction without interrupting the march.
 On the fixed pivot, the commands are, Company Right Ueft), MARCH" :" Company, HALT" or. For ward, MARCH!" as the case may be.
 At march" following the prepara- tory command. Company right" the right flank man in the front rank faces squarely to the right and marks time. The other front rank men oblique to the right, place them selves abreast of the pivot man and also mark time.
 In the rear rank. the third man from the right-No 3 of the first squad as in "squad righte-moves straight to the front until in the rear of his front rank man. He is followed in column by the second and first men from the right i'll the rear rank. These likewise place themselves in the rear of their front rank men. when all face to the right in marching and mark time
 The remaining men of the rear rank move straight to the front for four paees, then oblique to the right place themselves abreast of the third nnan, cover their respective file leaders and mark time. The right guide steps back, takes post on the flank and marks time. The fourth command, "march," |" if it is desired to go forward-or halt" if the company is to come to d stop-is given when the last or end man of the company is one pace to the rear of the new line.
 The command "halt," however, may be given at any time after the move ment begins; but only those halt who are in the new position. Each of the others halts upon arriving on the line, aligns himself to the right and executes front without further command
 A change of direction on a moving pivot is executed, as has been said sub stantially the same way as in the school of the squad. The command is Right QefD Turn, MARCH :. Forward, MARCH '" The difference between right turn in the school of the company and the school Of the squad is that with the company the men dc not glance toward the march ing flank, and all take the full step only at the command, "Forward, MARCH," Meanwhile, all those who have reached the line abreast the pivot man take the half step of 15 inches. Each rear rank man obliQues on she same ground as his file leader.
 In the school of the company, little has been said, so far, of the platoon. The reason is that the squad move- ments, in the nature of things, come first in the instruction and also be- cause the platoon movements-since platoons are composed of from two to four squads-are simply company movements on q smaller scale and exp- cuted in the same manner.

There are more than 100 cities in the United States of upward of 50,0O0 pop ulatlon where the building code has not been properly worked out on the basis of right and intelligent use of woods. according 10 the statement of q prominent lumber man.

 Easily Distributed.

 Goats do well in Florida. They thrive with all the certainty and vigor of an indigenous tropical plant in the rainy season. and if ever one dies for want of food the fact is not of rec ord. They are rough and close feed CTS.
 There is fine field for Angora goats and milk varieties in Florida. The Angora thrives on rough brushy pas ture, where other kinds of stock would find scant living. On account of his great liking for leaves, brush and weeds, the Angora thrives, and i'll course of time transforms bushy waste into a pasture suitable for other kinds of stock. Any man who has q suitable pasture for goats and will
