A PEASANT HOUSE IN THE UKRAINE *• RUSSIA 



The villages of the Ukraine do not cluster about some feudal chateau or nobleman's 

 castle, as in many of the other countries of Europe; they are usually planted in the lee of 

 some swell in the surface of the steppes, or beside a stream where the flocks of the peasants 

 may find water in the dry season.

HARVEST TIME IN THE UKRAINE 



The characteristic big wooden yoke and low-hung shafts identify this vehicle at once as 

 Russian. The undulating plains of the Ukraine, once a pasture-land only, now yield bounti- 

 ful crops of grain.
