On the second day there will be shown a system of ¢ooking for 160 men on the march in a kettle trench operated by five men. The sixteen kettles are placed on the ground so as to form a Arench. Each kettle holds food sufficient for fifteen men and the trench may be constructed in ten minutes, On the third day the system of individual cooking will be shown in _ which the individual mess tins will 'be used for each man.
