THE ARMY IN THE FIELD.

The layman cannot easily realize the
vast amount ~ material as 90 food and
ammunition demanded bv an army IN
the field a few facts and figures as TO
this may aid 90 make IL more tangible
Each man requires az a minimum. three
pounds and a half OF food per day. Each
animal should have at least twenty
pounds Of food IN countries whore graz
ing Is not abundant. II we take, FOR pur-
poses OF estimate. only fifteen pounds
required 90 supply each animal. leaving
five pounds 10 be gathered from the
country by grazing and otherwise, we
assume "a quantity that may De cOnsid-
cred a minimum. An army OF 10000
men would require about $4,000 animals
Tor transportation of artillery, camp
equipment There should not be less
than $4,000 cavalry There should not
be less than 10000 animals available az
AN times TO supply losses This makes
q total Of 10000 animals TO be led. With
this as a basis. we see that the daily
demands would be FOR the men $4,000
pounds. and Tor the horses. l,250000
pounds. or an aggregate OF 1,Sl50l0
pounds This Is equal 10 something
moro than $50 tons per day.-Harpers
