FEEDING THE SOLDIERS.

WHEN our boys enter military life they may not
- need more food than when at home Bu, when these
young men arc assembled in numbers the quantities OF
food required assume proportions dreamed OF when the
individuals were quartcred IN separate homes
For instance to furnish the annual subsistence for d.
VISION OF 1900 men and the animals OF the division crops
will be required from 900 oi wheat, 10000 acres
of corn 1900 Of oats, 10000 OF hay. 1000
acres Of IRISH potatoes lao OF and about 900
acres OF muck such cabbage spinach tunpS and
similar goodies"
II will also require 10000 fat cattle weighing over 1000
pounds each 1900 lat hogs and $1,000 ia, young sheep and
goats. 1t will take 500 supply the butter and 100
to produce tho fresh milk 1000 hens will be needed
to la, the eggs 250o chickens to supply the meat needed
for hospital extras
1t Will take from 900 to 500 men and as many mules
soldiers 1t vii take 10000 bushels Of grain to feed and
faen the cattle hogs and sheep besides pasture and
tonsecd meal It will take 10000 pounds Of grain to feed

500 1t will take 5000 Of slage to fatten the
cattle, sheep and goats and 1900 to iced the cows
that furnish the milk and butter-a total Of 1900 tons
Perhaps these figures will serve to emphasize the
ccSSity of raising food and feed in the United States
not only for domestic and the OF our military
forces but to help feed hungry allie, The average
householder who buys in small quantities cannot quite
comprehend the amount of food that an army will cat Bu,
