said the mate Of q five.masted schoon.
er at an East river wharf, to the writer.
There were ten of the bags, and they
looked much like those in which coffee
is shipped, except for size. "Well,
they are consigned to a poultry farm,
and they come from Brazil. Each one
contains just $50 pounds Of dried, un'

that their food value has become
