ren's children. The olive crop is now
worth about $1,000, 900 Il year. and
1000 tons Of olive oil ave annually eX-
! ported. There are, altogether. about
10, 600. 000 olive trees, of which 6.0O0.-
600 are grated. The natives consume
large quantities Of olive oil. Even
the Kabyles make it in 4 rude
way and and store it in their huts for
the winter. It IS used for cooking,
and has largely the same place that
butter has With us.
ihC"" is an enormous umD of
figs produced in Algeria, and some
thing like 80. 600, o0o pounds are an
nually exported. The fruit is fine,
although not equal To that raised in

orchards are to be seen everywhere.
They are as ommon as apples i'll
America and quite as freely eaten.

away for winter use.

them, are large flocks of sheep and
goats. and they are also to be found
al along the edges of the Desert Of
Sahara There are more than a mil
lion of cattle in the Tell. and in the
whole country more than u quarter of
a million and almost shat

something like 100000, and the mules
quite as many. OF this stock more
than nine-rcnths belong to the natives
The sheep here are fine, large,
lonS-WOoled animals. They weigh, I
venture. more than either our South
downs arc S~hropshircs, and they seem
free from disease. They are white
and brown in color. many of the white
sheep having brown faces. Their
ears are long and silky and hang down

grain is trodden " by oxen or other
animals. | see thrcshing floors every
where near the straw stacks: they arc
circles Of Wet-pOunded earth upon
which the animals are driven around
over the straw until the grain is
ground out. After that the straw is
raked off and tho wheat. barley or oats
is thrown into the air against the

is then stacked and the grain put in

carried TO market upon camels. the
bags used Will contain SIX or eight
bushels. as two sue bags Of grain

go upon donh eyS or mules. each will
contain half as much. There are no

at the stations. and ell grain goes to
