Borden's long-continued labors in this field, crowned with distinguished success, are proof of the practicability of the general plan. THE MARCHING RATION. Assuming these suggestions to be carried out, the marching ration might consist of roasted wheat and sausaged leef. Of these, each corps or division might have a stock on hand, to be drawn from whenever the order to march came. Of this marching ration there would be nothing to spoil, nothing to injure by the rough handling of the pack, nothi...ng to waste. To the last morsel, the roasted wheat and sausage may be eaten. There would be no longer the preparation every few days of the ration of boiled beef, or raw pork and hard bread, only to become unpalatable and then thrown away. There would be no waste of strength in transpor- tation, since the weight and bulk of the ration would have been reduced to a minimum, and the articles of diet admit of being packed with the least waste of space. Of this ration, a soldier might carry enough to sustain him in fighting condition for twelve days.
