They are farm­ ers, cattle raisers and shepherds. In the valleys of the Island are fertile fields, where potatoes mainly are grown. Tbe food of the people consists for tbe most part of beef, mutton, fowls, potatoes and fish. Tristan used formerly to produce many fruits and vegetables which can no longer be grown there. Tbe reason of this is that tbe Island for a long time was overrun by rats whlcb es­ caped from a ship that anchored there and which the people have been un­ able, It is said, ever entirely to exter­ minate.—Harper’s Weekly.
