ICELAND.
Bird’s-Eye View of a Land of
Volcanoes and Geysers.
There are but Few Trees—Hay
Is the Most Important Crop.
Iceland presents naiurnl features ol
interest in its volcanoes and geysers,
but its people ui e remarkable for their
literature, wriilen wholly in Iceland
or by Icelanders s’x or seven hundred
years ago. From the literary produc.
lions of the Icelanders, especially the
“Elder or Poetic Ed da" and the
“Younger or Prose Eddn,’’ are do.
rived most of flic knowledge of Scan¬
dinavian mythology. Some of tho
important facts 'elating to Iceland arc
summarized as follows:
Iceland is a large island iu (he
North Atlantic, belonging gcograph-
ically to tho western hemisphere. It
lies about one bundled and sixty miles
cast of Greenland nnd six hundred
miles west of Norway. Its greatest
length is 325 miles, it- greatest breadth
208, and its area, including tho neigh¬
boring islands, 32,758 square miles.
The population is about 70.000. In
the interior is tho great central table
land, fro n 1500 to 2000 feet above
tbe sea, and forming a wilderness.
There aro fertile valleys in the north-
etn, eastern ami southern portions of
tho island. I here are numerous \oi-
canoes on the islands, the principal
one being Uccla, situated in the sou h-
western part of the island, in ihe dis-
trict of llangai valla, forty miles from
the coast.
About thirty-five miles northwest
of Ilecla ond seventy miles from
Reykiavik are the celebrated inter,
mitlent hot springs, or gcyseis. In a
circle of about two miles Micro are
over one hundred springs which send
up hot water, and fifty of them arc
iu the space of a hw ncies. The
most noted of these geysers me the
Great and Lillie Strolir. The great
eruptions occur every thirty hours and
last for five minutes, consisting of an
immense fountain of hot water seveu-
ty Get high, enveloped iu clouds cf
steam. Tiie average winter temper-
atnrc of llajrkiavik is 29 3 degrees
Fahrenheit and in summer 53.6
legrees, being for tiie year abou’. the
same as that of Moscow. Iceland is
almost a treeless country. Ilay raised
ia the lowlands is the most important
crop. Potatoes and a few vegeta¬
bles are cultivated in small
quantities. The ino-t val-
(table vegetable production is the well-
knonu Iceland tnoss of commerce. In
the interior reindeer roam in herds.
Cow*, horns, aheep and goat* consti-
lute the wealth of the Icelanders. The
people arc the descendant* of the Nor-
wegian*, who settled iu Iceland in
674 and subsequently.
They tpeak the purest Norse Ian-
guage. Nearly every adult cau read
and write. The sett, incuts are mobt-
ly along the oast *. d in certain low-
lands and valleys. ( mtnercial mid
social intercourse is quite limited,
There are no roads. Trade is by
baner. The principal imports aie
cereals, coffee, sugar, spirits aud to-
bacco. The chief exports art, fi.h,
salt ne at, tallow, sheepskins, wool,
eiderdown and horses. At Reykjavik
there is a college with six j rifessors,
embracing a complete literary, clas-i-
eal and scientific course. The ecclesi-
astical establishment, which is exclii-
sively Lutheran, consists of the Bishop,
of licykiavik,wlio,with the Governor-
Genera’, forms the spiritual court,and
20 arch-deaiiorics, which aro 6itbdi-
vided into 196 livings.
Since 1387 the King of Denmark
has been the acknowledged sovereign
of Iceland. The isi.vid has its own
constitution and administration under
a charter dated January 5, 1874, by
which the legislative power is vested
in the Althing, which i* composed of
thirty-six members, of whom thirty are
elected by ihe people and six appointed
by the crown.
The highest local authority is the
Governor of StifiarnttnaniL At the
head of the administration is a minis.
ter appointed bv Mi King of Den-
marc. This minister resides at Copen¬
hagen and is responsible to the
Althing. — [Mnii aud Express.

j WHY ORCHARDS ARE BARREN.
Barren orchards was Ihe subject of
s paper read before a Michigan horti-
rultural society by A. G. Glidden of
Paw-Paw, who said:
“Lack of nutrition in the soil is one
jrcat cause of barrenness. Orchards are
frequently cultivated as long as any-
j lbin * wlil nround " ,e ,ree * * nd
then cursed because of their inability
!o respond with abundant yields of
fruit. A tree under such circum¬
stances is a stubborn tiling. When it
strikes that barren altitude it will re¬
main in that surly mood until con¬
ditions change or tbo owner sells or is
sold out.”
TWO CROPS ON THE SAME GROUND.
Two crops on the same go u nl al-
;vayg yield more than each alone. Jt
s a common practice, nud 1ms been
for centuries, to mix crops, aud these
by the name of mas.in. Thus oats
sud peas, grown together; wheat and
aats, sown iu spring: barley and
tares; corn and brans, or pumpkins, ,
are common mixed crops. But one of i
the which most have valuable yielded is the sixty peas and oat*, j ‘
me or seventy
bushels per acre of the mixed grain, '
ihat when coarsely ground is one of
the best grain foods for ail kinds of
live stock. Wheat and ivc grown to-
gether is largely used in Europe as a
bread crop, aud the mixed flour makes
an excellent and nourishing food.—

INJURIOUS COLD-IRON BITS. I

THE SIZE OE CHURNS.
j The question of size of churn best
adapted to the herd for which it is in-
tended, is one of considerable impor-
i la ncc. Gnc rule is 6afc to follow, and
j that is always err on tho side of
the largest churn. That is, a
.
small churn is not only harder to han-
i >ke ’ I> nl i® very apt to leave much
; of the ciearn uuchurncd. When the
j churn is too full it docs not allow
space enough for the crcaiu to get
sufficiently agitated. When buying a
! churn make allowance for (his. The
I number of cows in Ihe herd is not a
ver ^ 8°°^ criterion by which to judge
l ^ ,e *’ zo lke cknl ' n •'CQ'dred, but tho
pounds of milk hand ed and the
pounds of cream to be churned. This
will depend upon two things, the
method of setting the milk, and tho
number of times or frequency that the
churning is to be done. Never fill a
churn more Mian hmf full, and one-
Miiid full is better. Deep cold selling
increases the bulk of cream over
^low seHing about three times. O e
i more point in buying a churn, ge!
one that opens well, so it can be aired
and cleaned. This is of far more im-
pittance than that of labor saving,

DESPOILED nr DEEP PLOUGHING.
Ten years .go I purchased a farm,
portions of which were high and
somewhat rolling. The top soil for
' six inches consisted of rich black
loatn, underlaid with day, sand and
gravel. I purchased a threc-liorsc
sulky plow and ploughed this ground
twolve inches deep; 'hat is, I buried
six inches of good soil in a furrow,
twelve incites deep, leaving six inches
of clay, sand and gravel on lop. 1

too deep ploughing all at once on cer-
tain kinds of soil is a mistake, as too
much soil unsuiled for plant-food is
brought to tho surface. Bottom and
alluvial lands having a soil of great
depth may be stirred to a much greater
deptli and with benefit, affording
drainage and space for the roots of
both grains and plants. — [Coltnau’s

guinea fowls.
Guinea fowls are as easy to rear as
any fowl. They are hardy, and do
not tequire particular care. For the
first few days the young arc fed the
same as chicks. If the guinea hen is
confined to ihe poultry yard like other
fowrs, sin will never sit, but she will
lay a great many eggs, which
can be haicltcd under hens or in an
incubator.
The guinea lien is a continuous
layer In her season which commences
with the grass aud weeds of spring.
Given free range, she will hido her
nest, but it cau easily be found, as
the male bird usually stays near tho
nest aud makes a great noise when
any one approaches.
The eggs of tho guinea are pre¬
ferred to those of any oilier fowl, and
the flesh, though dark, is considered
maiiY pers r iis superior in flavor to
qnv other domestic fowl. A few hours
j n sa it water improves it.
Young guineas are hardy, and at
f our weeks old they are usually able
)0 i f or themselves.
j„ a w j 1( ] Ma e the guinea fowlt
mate in pairs, but ia a domesticated
gtate one cock will serve as many as
three hens. Guinea fowls should bo
kept on every poultry - farm, as they
gc.qre away hawks and givo notice of
intruders. Guiueas can bo raised
with profit, as they pretty much get
their own living; besides, they are
small eaters and contribute their share
toward filling the egg basket. If
handled when young, and petted, they
lose their wild nature and become as
tame as oilier fowls.— [Southern Fan*

1 ARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
When the hens appear droopy it is a
good indication that ihey are suffering
from lice, indigestion or colds.
In winter hens must have materials
supplied to them to make egg shells,
ag well as materials to fill them.
Ducks will begin laying when about
six months old, but, as a rule, the

lf eggs arc to be bought for hatch-
ing this spring send in the order early
so as to be sure of getting them when
you want them.
A good gobbler with three or four
liens will be fully as many turkeys as
it may be advisable to winter over.
Select the very best.
Tiie eggs from pmllets that aro just
beginning to lay sli'.uld not be used for
hatching; they wil not hatch well aud
the chicks will lack vitality.
Nearly or quite all of the surplus
fowls should be disposed of by tills
time; during the next two luonthi
feeding is always expensive.
Although tho ducks will usually
begin to lay very early, it is not t
good plan to set eggs for hatching
lunch before the first of March.
When eggsfur hatching are rocoivod
from a distance, unpack them aud lei

The Mask Ox.
In ifitem&ile zoology the place ac¬
corded to the musk ox ia intermediate
between those of the aheep (Ovls)
and the ox (Boa), and for its special
accommodation a new genus has been
created, “Oriboi.” Most writers no¬
tice its resemblance in many ways to
the buffalo or bison, and it un
doubtedly has much affinity with this
species. A peculiar prominence is
given in all early records to the de¬
scription of the horns of the musk
ox, which, though valuablo to the
Eskimos in the making of such com¬
modities as cups, spoons, etc.,,by no
means seem to bo of so much import¬
ance, vet in every account the most
minute particular of these appendages
is repeated. Doubtless much of tho
character of the musk ox depends on
the horns; still, it should be noted
that the descriptions above referred to
apply only to the bull, whose horns
meet on tho forehead, bend sharply
down, and curve gracefully upward
and outward; the cow’s horns are
more similar to those of the bison, or
even may be compared to the horns of
our domestic entile.
The skud of the bull musk ox is re¬
markable for Ihe development of the
eye-orbits, which project sufficiently
beyond the plane of the frontal bones
to compensate for the interruption
tiie boms would otherwise make in
the range of vision. The musk ox,
however, does not seem to rely greatly
on keenness of sight, far less on
acuteness of hearing, for the ears are
of small dimension*, and are com¬
pletely covered by the heavy growth
of fur about them. The organs of
scent are evidently more highly de¬
veloped, and they exact of the hunter
his grea'est cunning. Vasey says the
hoof-prints resemble those of the
barren-ground caribou so closely as
to easily deceive the unaccustomed
eye.— [Popular Science Monthly.
An Indiana Want.
Among the hills of Washington
County, Indiana, nestles an old-fash-
ioued, comfortable farm hou-e. The
house is the home of the tallest man
iu the West, perhaps in the United
States.
Jacob Williams, the giant, is a fiuo
specimen of physical manhood, and a
picture of perfect health, standing in
his stocking feet seven feet two
inches, and weighing in fighting
trim 257 pounds. He was born in
Polk township, Washington county,
September 24, 1858, and is thirty-two
years old and single. While a boy
lie was not abnormally tall, shooting
up to his great height during the last
years of his teens. In complexion he
is rather fair, with gray-blue eyes.
Sirangly enough, no other member of
llie family is extremely tall, tho father
measuring five feet ton inches, and he
is Ihe tallest of tho family, including
two daughters, one of whom some
papers not long ago paraded as a
giantess, much to the lady’s annoy¬
ance. Jacob Williams, in addition to
being quite good looking, is also good,
liatured, a lucky thing, for if he wero
ill-tempered he could make it decided¬
ly lively in his bailiwick.
Wisely enough no one desires to
tackle a man who sleeps in an eight
feet six inches bed, and has to stoop
to get through the door into the
house.

Irregular Meals.
It is a sin agaiust tho stomach and
the whole system to get into the habit
of irregular meals. Yet this is one
of the most common faults of Ameii-
cau people. Business and social duties
aro often allowed to postpone the hour
for dining, and the result is nervous
dyspepsia grows apace. The stomach
gets accustomed to receiving its food
at certain hours, and it comes up at
that time with a good sharp appetite.
If it is postponed for an hour it
grows weak, 1 he appetite is lost and
the person suffers for his indiscretion.
Habits in sleep is similar to that of
eating. Insomnia is often caused by
disregard of any particular hour for
sleeping, and it is often cured by
steadily observing a regular hour foi
retiring.
In the same way as dyspepsia is of¬
ten caused by irregularity of meals,
tho worst forms of indigestion aro
sometimes wholly cured by steadily
observing a regular time for eating.
This habit should be cultivated when
young, and they will then never fall
into the delinquency which is so notice¬
able among business and professional
men. It is only the very strong and
healthy who can endure irregularity
in the meals, for the weak ones grow
faint and weary if the meat is not
served on the hour. There can be no
perfect health without perfect regu.
iarity. Methodical and regular peo¬
ple have the most physical vigor and
live the longest, Ceutenarians, al-
most without exception, attest that
