Rye Is the poor relation of the cereals. the
one grain not needful in rich and prosperous
communities. Though known to the an.
clent Egyptians, its native home Is the
sandy wastes south of the Baltic and Gulf of
Finland. and the desert steppes of Asiatic
Tartary. It also grow abundantly beyond
Yakutsk on the surface OF q frozen subsoll.
The Swedish peasant subsists mostly on rye

are generally hard as board. Two hundred
years ago the poorer classes in England were
often compelled TO eat 1t in times OF scarcity.
II was imported chiefly from Germany and
discharged at the port of Rye Ia Sussex
hence its English name. Rye is subject to a
disease called EFgot, which makes the grain
so poisonous that certain and fearful death
is the result to all who eat it, whether man,
animal or insect.

Italy and Holland kind of trumpet is made
from it which ID considered great dainty.
