COMPANV ADVANCE.

• Up to the point of encountering the enemy's tire, a cotn|>uoy advnnct-e Into ■n enKagenient In cloae order, whether for attack or defenae. The naual f tmatlon. because of Ita mobility. Is the column of squads. The column of ■quads has the double ndvantnee of affording a convenient front for progressing along roads and through comparatively nar> .-w spaces, such as rairtnes. decllvltlc-.. or breaks In the trees, and of being at nil tttairs convertible Into any other formation desired. The (company Is deployed upon reaching the tone cf hostile fire for the protectoon of the men. but It may then continue to advance without returning the fire, depending upon the Immediate dr-

Another method wbtieby the ad-• | uce may be accomplished by a "sue- V* <. -sion of thin lines" Is r» follows: | The captain ixilnts out In advance the looted position to In- occupied, which 1* generally from 100 to 2.V) yards to the front, depending upon the terrain and the character of the hostile fire. The captain gives the command. “(Such numliers) forward, march:". The man designated by this number Id each squad—"No. 1" for .'sample— movi-s to ^he front until he jvacho* the new line. In this line, the original Intervals are preserved n* nearly as practicable. The nest numl» r In each squad Is sent forward when the first has advanced a suitable distance—the distances between these thin advancing lines are purposely made Irregular. Each number holts upon arriving at

the new line.

that a unit was advancing, and had reason to l^lleve from the apparent fextent of Its front that It was deploy. ]. he would probably spread his fire ac-

with intervals between equal to the Intervals between the centers of squads

or platoons In deployment.

This succession of thin lines, known ts “idatoon or squad columns." may otherwise facilitate the advance by allowing for the passage of the company through rough or bushy territory: It ul*o affords e better opportunity to take advantage of cover. The two latter factors are perhaps more Imisirtnnt than the first with the squad, at least If the advance Is against machine gun*, for a machine gun. if It had a comparatively unobstructed ntnge. could render the unit's entire front un tenable whether It were In squad columns. or were advancing In line of aklnnlshent. Platoon columns, however. moving as they do outside the c-es of a burst of wngle shrapnel (about ah yards) may greatly reduce the losses when under artillery tire, or

even under machine pins.

Effective Control l> **o«t Thoro«B h Sanitation—Olv* Poultry Houm Tho&uBh Cleaning and Then Disinfect. That lice and mites materially cut down egg produciloo. la the belief of F. E. F«ix. assistant in poultry hus-

bandry.

“Uce end mites, by feeding on laying hens, cause a reduction Id egc production." said Mr. Fox "The Uce live continuously upon the fowl, eating the thaues and causing much an tioyanoe by scratching and Irritating the bird. Mites track the blood of the victim, and thus. In addition to annoyance and pain, rob the fowl of

needed nourishment.

Lice have biting month porta, and are therefore easily poisoned. For this purpose, blue ointment 1. the moat effective and easiest to apiJy. A piece about the site of a pen should be well rubbed Into the fluff well up Into the ■kin Just below the vent. As the Uce necessarily mu»t come here for moist ore. they are readily poisoned. The treatment should be repeated In a week or ten days to assure killing

those that hatch later.

“Another common remedy for lice la pyrethrum powder, which should be thoroughly dusted Into the feathers. This ponder is rmtfcrr expensive, bowever, and homemade powder that is Just a.< effective may be made at a saving. Esc three parts of gasoline and one part coal tar dip. Mix these together and add enough plaster of parts or building e.ment to take up j the moisture. Thl. powder must he i used often and L therefore not ao rf- ' feetive as the method flrat described. "Mites are combated In a different manner, because of a vital dlfferenee In their life habits. They live upon the fowl only at night, sucking the blood. They then leave the bird and hide In cracks, crevices and filth dur-

ing the day.

“Effective control la mostly throng^ sanitation. Give the house a thorough cleaning. Throw out all inter and straw, clean out all filth, brush down the side* and sweep the celllug. Scrub out the house with warm water. Spray thoroughly with coal tar dip, carbolic acid mixed with water, or pure kerowne. In applying throe solutions, a brush may be w<-d. but a spray puthp la the moat desirable. P-c-jH-at the spraying In a week or tro day. to assure the death of those that hatch after the first spraying.”
