The View From the Summit of the Mountain of the Ark. At last we stood upon the summit of Ararat but the sun no longer pierced the white vapor; a fierce gale drove across the forbidden region and whipped the eye straining to distinguish the limits of snow and cloud. Vague forme 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 ark of Gopher rested, where first the patriarch alighted on the face of an earth renewed. Before him lay the valleys of GOO 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 God's covenant with man. .Although the summit of Great Ararat, which has an elevation of 17,916 feet, yields in height to the peaks of d the Caucasus in the north and to in the (19,400 feet) 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 of this dome which you see from the valley 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 outline toward the east; it rises in the 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. Th 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 the whole fabric, the intimate correspondence ofthe pnrts between themselves, in a word, the architectural qualities of this natural work at once the eye and continue to provideimpress a u inexhaustible fund of study, however long may be the period of your stay.

The Chinese have a curious belief that certain crabs are at times heated to a; white heat, and if taken into a bqatihave the faculty of burning whatever! they touch. To. any one familiar with crabs in their variety there might seem some reason for this, as, so far as appearances are concerned, some of the crabs are wonderfully luminous and seem to glow at every poult 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 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 left 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 i fro with my hand, eo brilliant a light was produced that print could be read by it. Investigation showed that this wonderful phenomenon was caused by minute crustaceans, cousin, of the common crabs, that, while minute In size almost filled the water and by a combination of forces produced the mar velous display.

The Barred Plymouth Rock is the best all around chicken vs have tried. It is quiet, matures early and is a good layer of good sized eggs. Wyandottes come next. In the winter they are boused, 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 Df 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 Every poultry keeper now ret, given good stocks and conditions as aearly approaching summer as may be, and the hens will prove fairly prolific. A. warm, light, sunny coop is very essential. The house must be snug, yet aave ventilators that may be opened in mild weather, for bad air is a very 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. A good morning aaash is mad as follows: Take 4 parts oran, 4 parts ground oats, 3 parts corn meal, and 1 part linseed meal. Then zombine with the grain mixture just as much boiled potatoes, turnips, or carrots as you use of grain. Mix all in boiling water, salt and pepper lightly, andnfinally add a little meat scraps or green cut bone. This makes a royal winter's breakfast for poultry and will bring the eggs if anything will. Scatter a few handfuls of whole wheat and aats about the coop a few times a day to keep the hens scratching. Feed on corn Rememwhole at lightly night. ber a cabbage once in a while. W. P. Perkins in Farmers' Review. s 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 be 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 amoufft 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 cra.t sorvioa to the dairy f aimer. ltfe lp.&! 1 'l laf hogs.

Ask any dealer and he will tell you that the colt crop being raised is not at all commensurate with the needs of the future. Donl hold the old plug horse for a high price, If you have no use for him, sell hin; for what he will bring, give him awaj rather than feed him, for it is monej thrown away, and raise colts that will be wanted by buyers. This is plainly the correct principle. Feeding il horses is suicidal. Get rid of them and feed growing colts. Be ready for the turn of the tide, and as for thaFmat-ter- , the right kind of horses will sell, fairly well even now.
