The Army In the Field.

The layman cannot easily realize the
vast amount of material as to food and
ammunition demanded by an army In
the field. A few facts and figures as
to this may aid to make 1t more tangi-
BILE. Each man requires, at a mini
mum. three pounds and half of food
per day. Each animal should have at
least 20 pounds of food in countEies
where grazing Is not abundant. If we
take, for purposes of estimate, only 10
pounds required to supply each animal,
leaving five pounds to be gathered from
the country by grazing and otherwise,
we assume a quantity that may be con-
sidered a minimum.
An army of 100000 men would re-
quire about 10000 animals for trans
portation of artillery, camp equipment,
ammunition, food, hospital and med
teal equipment. There should not be
less than 10000 cavalry. There should
not be less than 10000 animals avail
able at all times to supply losses. This
makes total of 10000 animals to be
fed. With this as basis we see that
the daily demands would be for the
men $4,000 pounds and for the horses
100000 pounds, or an aggregate of
1,ST5,0O0 pounds. This Is equal to
something more than $50 tons per day.
