From Herat 10 Mashhad.


TO enter into detailed description OF the country
and scenery between Herat and Mashhad is I'M
necessary. Imagine one continuous valley, varying
from twenty to forty miles In BREADTH bounded on
either side by lofty, rugged mountain ranges, varying
from 5000 TO 10000 feet in height above the level
(snow still lies In the crevices facing north) The
valley slopes gently from the lower spurs OF the
mountains TO the river bed, near the centre. The
uncultiyaied soil Is oyergrown with many varieties
of low scrub, and now and then some grass and
camel thorn. In the spring many beautiful flowers
tulips, lilies, etc.-appear and fade at the ap-
iGtida and other lmbel!lferous plants, from three
TO four feet In height vary the dead level OF the
scrub; The area under cultivation depends on the
quantity OF water available for irrigation But the
present population ID far less numerous than that
which the soil could support Increased population
would mean larger cultivation. The supply OF water
for irrigation could be artinclally increased. The
mountain sides are In places clad In scant garb Of
juniper and other trees, all Of dwarf stature.
Fuel is one OF the scarcest and dearest commodi-
green and dry fodder, meat chickens, mix, eggs,
are o.
wheat, barley, and peas. Silkworms are also cult
ted in almost every village. For purity sweetness,
and c0olness nothing can Hurpass the water OF the
mountain springs, and for simple scene OF rural
beauty few places can vie with mountain village.
