NAVAL OFFICERS KICK.
Not Getting Vacations and Many
Threaten to Resiqn.

The shortage of officers in the navy
is causing increased anxiety. Within
the past year the rule has been adopt
ed of refusing ensigns and young lieu
tenants any leave for the reason that
they cannot be spared. This is a vio-
lation of the unwritten law of the navy
that every officer is entitled to leave
of absence for one month each year.
The last Congress doubled all future
classes at the naval academy, but the
effect of this long-needed legislation
will not be felt in the navy for four
years. The young officers are coming
to the conclusion that they are to
have no leave during the next four
years and they are becoming restless.
They return from a long term of sea
duty, only to be ordered away on an
other two years cruise after two or
three days at home. Many applica-
tions for longer leave which are not
granted are being followed by threats
to resign from the navy, and these
are so frequent as to give the depart
ment much concern.

Horse FeedinQ.


A bulletin issued by the United
States agricultural department on Eek
periments in Horse Feeding" has this
to say:
1T is commonly said that the
amount of food required by horses Is
proportionate to their weight; it be-
ing self-evident that a large horse
would require more material than
small horse to build and repair the
body and to carry on all the vital pro-
cesses which constitute internal mus
cular work.
investigations have shown that the
requirements are more nearly proper
tionate to the surface areas than to
the body weight. Individual peculiar
ity is, of course, a factor which must
be reckoned with. but the general
statement is justified. The factor
which has the greatest influence on
the ration required is the amount of
work performed, the ration increasing
with the work.
when horses which have been con-
suming a large ration and performing
work are compelled to rest, even for n
few days. the ration should be dimin-
ished. Girard found that horses doing
hard work were well nourished with a
maximum ration of 15 to 10 quarts
oats, IA pounds hay, and straw ad libi-
tum. If the work stopped for three
days and the ration was not diminished
the horses were subject to paralysis,
resulting in death.
ut was, therefore, recommended that
on Sundays and holidays the ration
consist of 81 quarts oats at noon, and
81 quarts of bran mash night and
and straw as before. The facts brought
out are quite generally recognized by
large feeders and 1t is common GUS
tom to diminish the rations on Sun
days and holidays"
Experiments are summarized which
discuss the comparative value of the
different feeding stuffs and special at
tention is paid to some, like molasses,
which arc becoming more important
than formerly. The comparative mer-
its of different ways Of preparing feed
are also treated as well as the proper
time of watering and the amount Of
water required. Something is also said
of the energy expended for different
kinds of external work and its meas
urement, the energy required for chew
ing and digesting food and other forms
of internal muscular work, and similar
topics.
Data are summarized in the form of
table, which shows the nutrients and
energy furnished per 1000 pounds, live
weight, by the rations fed to American
and foreign army horses, cab and bus
horses, etc., as well as those supplied
to the horses of express companies,
fire companies, packing houses, brew
cries, etc, and the farm horses en-
ployed at the different experiment
stations, such data having been espe-
cially compiled for this bulletin. Av-
erage values were calculated, showing
the amount of nutrients furnished to
horses performing diiierent amounts
of work. which it is believed may
serve as a guide in fixing upon suitable
rations.

In this shape 1t will quickly rot and
