Feeding a Distant Armu. How We Send Fresfi tot to Our Phifippine Troops. B* Captain T. B. Francis. The problem of feeding 20,000 sol diers who are 10,000 miles away from home is one which has ken given seri ous attention by our military authori ties. After several months spent in ex perimenting and preparation a satis factory solution has been reached. The United States commissary department is now equipped with the necessary ar rangement to furnish our army in the Philippines with just as good food as if the regiments were scattered about at the various home army posts. The other day a vessel left for Ma nila with 2,000,000 pounds of fresh meat in her hold. This was the refrig erator ship Glacier, which has recently been acquired for this purpose. It is the largest shipment of fresh meat ever made to such a distant port. When it reaches Manila, there will be joy in the ranks of regulars and volunteers. Fresh meat is something for which our soldiers, and our sailors as well, have been longing during the Philippine campaign. While the Glacier was loading at the dock in Brooklyn recently one of her officers on the Buffalo, lying near by, received a letter from a brother officer in Manila. “I'd give a fortune for a prime rib roast,” said the faraway writer. So one of the last things which went into the frigid hold of the Glacier was a big, juicy cut of beef, frozen as hard as a rock and bearing a tag which read: FOR BILL MAHONEY. A PLANO 19 FOLLOYHNG. The Glacier really belongs to the navy, but she has been temporarily loaned to the commissary department of the army for the present emergency. She was originally built to carry fresh mutton from Australia to England. Although a fine looking craft with good lines, she is really a huge floating REFRIGERATOR SHIP GLACIER. [From a photograph taken just before *he sailed for the Philippines.] icebox. Beneath the white paint of her hull are great cold storage rooms running her entire length on several decks. By means of the ammonia proc ess, the same as used in breweries, these decks are kept at a temperature far below the freezing point. The pipes which line ceilings and floors are cov ered with boar frost, and when you go dow'n into her hold you need an over coat. Even while sailing through the tropic heat of the Suez canal the 'tween decks of the Glacier will be just as cool as when she started. For thousands of miles her course will be through a re gion where she will carry with her the only refuge from sweltering heat to be found within a week’s journey. To make sure that the cargo will reach Manila in good condition the en tire 2,000,000 pounds of meat was first submitted to a temperature of 15 de grees for six days. All tbe loading was done at night. Tbe process was inter NOTICE FARMERS. I have a few Tons of Guano on hand that I will sell at reduced price to close out.

A float with a number of refrigera tor cars, reduced to the lowest possible temperature by being packed with ice and salt, was moored alongside tbe re frigerating storehouse. The curs on the float having been all filled, it was quick ly ferried over to the navy yard and hauled up alongside the Glacier. Then one at n time the cars were opened and the huge cranes set to work lifting the quarters of beef and lower ing them into the hold, where they were carefully packed away in the freezing atmosphere. Night after night this process was repeated, 350.000 pounds of beef being packed away each night. By the use of the refrigerator cars for transporting across the river not one of the quarters of beef was ex posed to the air for more than ten min utes. From seven to eight days were con sumed in loading the beef, all the rest of the cargo having been put on hoard first; then the hatches were closed air tight, and the Glacier steamed away to the hungry American fighting men on the other side of the world. A tremendous refrigerator storehouse is now being completed on the wharf at Manila for receiving the cargo of frozen beef. It will not he exposed to the trop ical heat of the Philippines for many minutes —only long enough to put it into the refrigerated,rooms.
