American citizen, Mr.. John 3. Richards.

Harris. it seems discovered gold mines
and were arrested. imprisoned and sub
sequently deported in order that The au-
thorities might seize upon their discov-
cries.

upon the subject says:

BUYING FEEDS RICH IN PROTEIN

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Bulletin No. 13I of New Jersey Sta.
ton, by Prof. Voorhees,, the Director
Of that Station, is full of good thoughts,
the result OF inspection, analysis and
study.
The purchase of feeds, either to sup
plement be me grown produce or to
provide the entire amount of conCen-
trates needed, requires that care should
be exercised in order to obtain the
most economical results. It is now
fully recognize I'd that feeds rich in pro-
tein should be addc to the home grown
products, il they are to be utilized to
the best advantage, since, under aver
age conditions, the crops grown OF
both grain and straw contain so great
an excess of the carbo hydrates, or
starchy substances, as to make their
exclusive use wasteful. The feeds that
are best adapted to this end, viz, those
rich in protein, as q rule, consist Of
residues from the manufacture OF some
