The Bengal plow is much the same as the Greek or Roman one. "The English have no idea," says Sir J. B mAMf^^ BULLOCK CARRIAGE. Phear, " of the extreme poverty of the bulk of the Bengal population. Seven rupees a month will support a whole family. Food is the principal item, and prob- ably one rupee eight annas a month will suf...fice to feed an adult man, and twelve annas a woman."
