Distress in Egypt.

Mr.. Baird, the famine commissioner,
who went to relieve the distress in upper
Egypt, reports that even in ordinary
circumstances the Egyptian peasant
leads life which has little that is at
trsctive to European eyes. His food
consists of coarse maize bread, with
beans, lentils and onions and various
weeds. He wears scanty clothing of
cotton or rough homespun wooden cloth,
and sleeps in mud hut or in the open
air. The worst feature in his life is his
chronic state of indebtedness, either to
the government for arrears of taxation
or to the merchant who supplies him on
credit with SEED corn or corn for his
household, to be repaid with exorbitant
interest when his crops are ripe. The
merchants, for the most part, are Euro
peans and are always ready to make ad-
vances to the needy peasant, provides
the interest is high enough; the fellah,
called upon to pay his taxes at q mo-
ment when his crops are still unripe, is
compelled to borrow and is not In a pos
sition to wrangle about the interest.

Green Pea. and Oa.. rar Cows.

Fo lder~corn is almost universally
raised to feed COWS while on short pasture

dition to their food that every dairvman
should raise about one.eighth an acre

depend on one kind of green sood. and
especially one containing 30 little album

a mixture of meadow grasses may be re-
lied upon alone, but corn should ALWAYS
be ed with some more heterogeneous food.
