Notes from the Soldier’s Home The following notes' in regard to the Soldier’s Home at Marion is taken from the Leader of that city, and will no doubt be of interest to the old oomrades: TAKES LOTS OF FOOD. Few people have an idea of the immense amount of food eaten at the Home. However great the quantities given below seem they are moderate when divided among 848 veterans. The following are the main items of the subsistence stores for a single month: 1,600 gallons bf milk, 800 pies, 7,000 biscuits, 20,000 pounds of bread* 9,100 pounds of fresh beef, 600 dozen of eggs, 2,4oo"pounds of butter, 1,000 pounds of veal, 2,000 pounds of coffee,6so pounds of crackers, 600 pounds of bacon, 4,000 pounds of shoulders, 2,000 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of tea, 1,500 pounds of ham. 200 pounds of dried apples, 1,000 pounds of beans, 3,000 pounds of corn beef, 500 pounds of cod fish, 1,000 pounds of fresh fish, 1,000 pounds of mutton, two bar e’s of mess pork, 70 gallons of syrup, 50 gallons of vinegar, 350 pounds ot cheese, 20 gallons of catsup. Such quantities vanish every month. When the variety and amount of food are considered the average cost per day of a veteran’s rations, 23 cents, does not seem expensive. ENROLLMENT.
