1066.  Before  submitting  damaged  commissary  stores  to  boards  of 
survey,  the  commissary  shall  separate  and  re-pack  sound  parts. 

1067.  Wastage  on  issues,  or  from  evaporation  or  leakage,  will  be 
ascertained  quarterly,  or  when  it  can  be  most  conveniently;  and  the 
actual  wastage  thus  found  will  be  charged  on  the  monthly  return. 
Loss,  from  whatever  cause,  exceeding  ordinary  waste,  must  be  ac- 
counted for  by  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  or  other  satisfactory 
evidence.  Ordinary  waste  on  issues  should  not  exceed,  say  10  per 
cent,  on  pork,  bacon,  sugar,  vinegar,  and  soap;  and  5  per  cent,  on 
hard  bread,  beans,  rice,  coffee,  land  salt.

But  in  beef  on  the  hoof,  errors  in  estimated  weight,  and  losses  on 
cattle  strayed  or  stolen,  will  be  accounted  for  by  the  certificate  of 
an  officer,  or  other  satisfactory  evidence.  When  cattle  arc  trans- 
ferred, they  should  be  appraised,  and  loss  in  weight  reported  as 
wastage  by  the  officer  delivering  them.  Fair  wastage  in  transpor- 
tation of  stores  is  accounted  for  by  the  receiving  officer. 

THE    RATION. 

1069.  The  ration  is  three-fourths  of  a  pound  of  pork  or  bacon, 
or  one  and  a  fourth  pounds  of  fresh  or  salt  beef;  eighteen  ounces

draw    their   rations    while    temporarily   separated    from    their 
panies,  the  officer  commanding  the  company  must  make  a  report  to 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  post  where  the  women  may  be  left,

citizens  employed  by  any  of  the  departments,  or  to  Indians,  will  be 
entered  on  separate  abstracts  to  the  monthly  return. 

1079.  An  extra  issue  of  fifteen  pounds  of  tallow  or  ten  of  sperm 
candles,  per  month,  may  bo  made  to  the  principal  guard  of  each 
camp  and  garrison,  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer.  Extra 
issues  of  soap,  candles,  and  vinegar,  arc  permitted  to  the  hospital 
when  the  Surgeon  docs  not  avail  himself  of  the  commutation  of  the 
hospital  rations,  or  when  there  is  no  hospital  fund;  salt  in  small 
quantities  may  be  issued  for  public  horses  and  cattle.  When  the 
officers  of  the  Medical  Department  find  anti-scorbutios  necessary

issues  of  fresh  vegetables,  pickled  onions,  sour  krout,  or  molasses, 
with  an  extra  quantity  of  rice  and  vinegar.  (Potatoes  are  usually

for  payment,  vouched  by  the  abstract  of  issues  (Form  17)  certified 
by  the  officer. 

1083.  When  convenience  ami  economy  require  that  the  contract

fore directed,  nn«l  shall  pay  the  amount  due  to  lodging  from  tho 
recruiting  fund.

1088.  Issues  of  provisions  will  be  made  on  the  usual  provision 
returns,  and  board  will  be  furnished  on  a  return  showing  the  num- 
ber of  the  party,  the  days,  and  dates. 

SUBSISTENCE   TO   OFFICERS. 

1089.  An  officer  may  draw  subsistence  stores,  paying  cash  for 
them  at  contract  or  cost  prices,  without  including  cost  of  transpor- 
tation, on  his  certificate  that  they  arc  for  his  own  use  and  the  use  of 
liis  family.  These  certified  lists  the  commanding  officer  shall  com- 
pare with  the  monthly  abstracts  of  sales,  which  he  shall  countersign

1090.  When  the  supplies  warrant.it,  back  rations  may  be  drawn, 
if  the  full  rations  could  not  have  been  issued  at  the  time;  except 
when  soldiers  have  been  sufficiently  subsisted  in  lieu  of  the  ration. 
The  return  for  back  rations  shall  set  out  the  facts,  and  the  preciso 
time  when  rations  were  not  issued,  or  the  troops  otherwise  suffi- 
ciently subsisted,  which  shall  appear  on  the  abstract  of  issues.

COMMUTATION    OF    RATIONS. 


1091.  "When  a  3oldier  is  detached  on  duty,  and  it  is  impracticable 
to  carry  his  subsistence  with  him,  it  will  be  commuted  at  seventy- 
five  cents  a  day,  to  be  paid  by  the  commissary  when  due,  or  in 
advance,  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer.  The  officer  detach- 
ing the  soldier  will  certify,  on  the  voucher,  that  it  is  impracticable 
for  him  to  carry  his  rations,  and  the  voucher  will  show  on  its  face 
the  nature  and  extent  of  the  duty  the  soldier  was  ordered  to  per- 
form (see  Form  18). 

1092.  The  expenses  of  a  soldier  placed  temporarily  in  a  private 
hospital,  on  the  advice  of  the  senior  Surgeon  of  the  post  or  detach- 
ment, sanctioned  by  the  commanding  officer,  will  be  paid  by  the 
Subsistence  Department,  not  to  exceed  seventy-five  cents  a  day. 

1093.  The  ration  of  a  soldier  stationed  in  a  city,  with  no  oppor-

the  non-commissioned  regimental  staff  and  ordnance  sergeants, 
when  they  have  no  opportunity  of  messing,  and  of  soldiers  on  fur- 
lough, or  stationed  where  rations  can  not  be  issued  in  kind,  may  be 
commuted  at  the  cost  or  value  of  the  ration  at  the  post. 

1094.  "When  a  soldier  on  duty  has  necessarily  paid  for  his  own 
subsistence,  he  may  be  refunded  the  cost  of  the  ration.  When  more 
than  the  cost  of  the  ration  is  claimed,  the  account  must  be  sub- 
mitted to  the  Commissary-General. 

EXTRA-DUTY    MEN. 

1095.  The  commanding  officer  will  detail  a  suitable  non-commis- 
sioned officer  or  soldier  for  extra  duty,  under  the  orders  of  the  com- 
missary, and  to  be  exempt  from  ordinary  company  and  garrison 
duty.  All  extra-duty  men  employed  in  the  Commissariat  will  be

sary, if  not  paid  extra  pay  in  any  other  department.

NOTES. 

1.  Stores  longest  on  hand  will  be  issued  first. 

2.  Armorers,  carnage-makers,  and  blacksmiths,  of  the  Ordnance 
Department,  are  entitled  to  one  and  a  half  rations  per  day;  all  oilier 
enlisted  men,  one  ration.  Laundresses,  one  ration.  No  hired  per- 
son shall  draw  more  than  one  ration. 

3.  One  ration  a  day  may  be  issued  to  any  person  employed  with 
the  army,  when  the  terms  of  his  engagement  require  it,  or  on  paying 
the  full  cost  of  the  ration  when  he  cannot  otherwise  procure  food. 

4.  Lamps  and  oil  to  light  a  fort  or  garrison  are  not  allowed  from 
the  Subsistence  department. 

5.  In  purchasing  pork  for  the  southern  pos*s,  a  preference  will 
be  given  to  that  which  is  put  up  in  small  pieces,  say  from  four  to 
six  pounds  each,  and  not  very  fat. 

G.  As  soldiers  are  expected  to  preserve,  distribute,  and  cook  their 
own  subsistence,  the  hire  of  citizens  for  any  of  these  duties  is  not 
allowed,  except  in  extreme  cases.  The  expenses  of  bakeries  are 
paid  from  the  post  fund,  to  which  the  profits  accrue  by  regulations
