The View From the Summit of the ' Mountain of the Ark. At last we stood upon the summit of Arafat but the sun no longer pierced the white vapor; a fierce gale drove across the forbidden regiori and whipped the eye , straining to distinguish the limits of snow and cloud. Vague forms hurried past on the wings of the whirlwind; in place of the landscape of; the land of promise we searched dense banks of fog. We were standing on the spot where the rirk of Gopher rested, where first the patriarch alighted on the face of an earth renewed. Before him lay the valleys of 600 years of sorrow; the airiest pinnacle supported him, a boundless hope filled his eyes. The pulse of life beat strong and fresh around him; the busy swarms thrilled with sweet freedom, elect of all living things. In the settling exhalations stood the bow of many colors, eternal tokens of Gods covenant with man. Although the summit of Great Ararat,! Ivhich has an elevation of 17,916 feet, yields in height to the peaks of the Caucasus in; the north and to Demavend (19,400 feet) in the east; nearly 500 miles away, yet, as Bryce In his admirable book has observed, there can be but few other places In the world where a mountain so lofty rises from; a plain so low. The summit of Great Ararat has the form of a dome and is covered with perpetual snow;, this dome crowns an oval figure, the length of which is from northwest to southeast; and it is, therefore, the long side if this dome which you see from the talley of the Araxes. On the southeast, as you follow the outline further, the slope falls at a more rapid gradient of from 30 to 35 degrees, ends in the saddle between the two mountains, at a height of nearly 9,000 feet, From that point it Is the shape of the Little Ararat which continues the outlinje toward the east; it rises in tho shape of a graceful pyramid to the height of 12,840 feet, and its summit is distant from that of Great Ararat a space of nearly seven miles. The southeastern slope of the lesser Ararat corresponds to the northwestern slope of the greater mountain and descends to the floor of the river valley in a long and regular train. The unity of tho whole fabric, the intimate correspondence outlie parts between themselves, in a word, the architectural qualities of this natural work at once impress the eye and continue to provide an inexhaustible fund of study, however long may be the period of your stay. Scribners for February. Luminous Crabs. The Chinese have a curious belief that certain crabs are at times heated to a white heat, and If taken into a boat hhve the faculty of burning whatever they touch. To. any one familiar with crabs in their variety there might seem some reason for this, asr so far as appearances are concerned, some of the erabs are wonderfully luminous and seem to glow at every ponit with an intense light that in its radiations illumines not only the animal Itself, but all immediate objects. One night in rowing my boat along the Florida reef I noticed that the water suddenly j became highly luminous. At the bow two golden waves rushed away, breaking into a luminous foam,' seeming to ignite the entire surrounding water Every movement of the oar was like a touch of Midas and loft a golden train. Here were great moon-lik- e masses; now trails of light as fishes dashed away, and by splashing the water violently to and fro with my hand, to brilliant a light was produced that print could be read by It, Investigation showed tjiat this wonderful phenomenon was caused by minute cousin? of the common crabs, that while minute in size almost completely filled the water and bv a combination of forces produced the mar velous display.

The Barred Plymouth Rock is the best all around chicken w a have tried. It is quiet, matures early and is a good layer of good sized eggs. Wyandottes come next. In the winter they are housed, but in the summer they take to the apple trees for roosting. We think they are healthier this way. We feed corn at night and wheat in the morning; they also get some lime, boiled potatoes and so on for change. We are feeding at this time cooked apples mixed with ground wheat. Our market is St. Louis. It is usually glutted with poultry and eggs, great quantities of which come from the South and West. We see by the market reports that the market in Chicago is much better all the time than it Is in St. Louis. In winter we get a fair supply of eggs, but do not make a specialty of winter eggs. We seldom lose fowls from disease, lice or predatory animals. We have always adhered to the hen while brooding, and have been as successful as we expected to be. The main point is to give the broods good care while they are young. We have never tried doctoring poultry. If a chicken is seen to be ailing we cut off its head. We use crude carbolic acid in the drinking water. White Leghorns are best for eggs and early maturity, but I had to discard them on account of their flying into my hot beds, as the products of my hotbeds bring me much of my returns for work.

Of course it is Impossible to get as many eggs at; this season as in summer, simply for the reason that winter and cold weather are not the natural times for birds to lay, but ret, given good stocks and conditions as aearly approaching summer as may be, and the hens will prove fairly prolifi. A. warm, light, sunny coop Is very essential. The house must be snug, yet have ventilators that may be opened in tnild weather, for bad air is a vey bad thing indeed for any species of animal life. Be sure also the coop is dry., A lamp house means colds, roup, and no profit. Grain is cheap, so feed the best and a variety also.

Perkins in Farmers Review. - - English View of Silage. To obtain a supply of suitable food all the year round Is not always an easy matter; therefore, a few suggestions on this important subject may he useful to dairy farmers who' plan out in their minds a possible food supply to carry their stock through another year. Owing to unforeseen events taking place which may seriously reduce the amount of food expected on the arable land, It Is certainly advisable to have a reserve supply of food ready for use at all seasons of the year. In the case of a late spring, a supply of silage will be found of crsit eirvlci to the dairy f aimer. Poorly Supplied Creameries. We receiye a great maiy complaints from farmers where netv creameries have been established. In most instances the creameries are! not to blame. The farmers have not yet furnished the conditions whereby they can make the most profit out of the creamery. They are furnishing half the amount of milk they should furnist. There are thousands of farmers with 200 acres of land, who are keeping not more than 10 or 35 cows. The makifig of the milk from these few cows cost them nearly double per pound what it Iwould if they made four times as much. Then they blame the creamery for not giving them a better profit. They say the creamery is charging too much for the making of the butter; when it is hard to see how the creamery can live with the small amount of business there is to be done. There are thousands of these creameries all over the land. The farmer about them keep two acres to do the work of one, and two cows to produce what one cow should produce. Every thing in and about that creamery is marked by a lack of good, intelligent, dairy sense. How can such men expect figs flrom thistles, or profits from ignorance of sound dairy conditions? Hoards Dairyman. Dairy Instruction at Lansing. Last week a representative of the Farmers Review visited the Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing. The college Is certainly doing a great work in its various branches, but the appliances for dairy instruction are very.lim-iteThe dairy students certainly do not have a fair show undej? such conditions. There is no branch of agricul- tural science more needful than that of the dairy, and it seems a great mistake not to at once enlarge thi department of the college. It may be that some plan is on foot to better faiatters, but if so we have not heard of jit. The professors that have the control of the dairy work there must labor under great disadvantages.
