A serious famine has, according to a report , broken out in Austria\u2019s great Polish province of Galicia.<\/div>\n
In 18 districts of that crops of the season has been entirely lost.<\/div>\n
The harvest was, moreover, very bad in 48 other districts. Only in 23 districts did the peasantry enough food for themselves and their live stock for the winter.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It is announced that in many places the peasants are killing their horses rather than to see them starve.<\/div>\n
Nearly 100,000 horses are said to have already been thus destroyed, and their carcases sold as manure. In some parts there are large heads of the bodies of horses lying on the roadside. In one district 1,500 horses are said to hare been sold at the price of 6d per head to the manufacturer of compost, as the railway rates are too high to make the export of the emaciated animals pay.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The turn has now come for slaughtering the milch cows, as there is no fodder for them to eat. The peasants themselves are feeding on oatcakes. Thousands are hurrying to Russia in the hope of finding a subsistence for the winter.<\/div>\n
What truth there may be in these report cannot at present be said. It looks, at all event suspicious, says the Vienna correspondent of the Standard, that the news comes with such suddenness, and that nothing was heard of this famine till grants were demanded in the Reichstrath for the relief of the Galicians of those districts where the previous had failed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
