Rice Culture.

A bout the turn of this century eXDeriments were begun in the growing of rice by means of ir- riga tion on the prairie lands of Arkansas, says the Manufacture CTS Record. By 1905, 460 acres of land was planted in rice, and the yield was 22,396 bushels, or 4S.6 bushels per acre, valued at S22, ,3o6 At that time the tot al acreage in the country was more than 1000 times the acre age of Arkansas. Last year Ar kansas planted GOOD acres in rice or a little less than one-hun- dreth of the total acreage, and the yield was 222, 900 bush els, valued at S1S9,O00 In the number of bushels per acre(30 Arkansas lead the rice growing states, of which there are now nine. A mass of interesting facts about this new industry for Ar kansas is embodied in an illus trated pamphlet issued by John C. England of St. Louis.

Not from the Scrlptures

The quotation: God tempereth the wind to the shorn lamb" is one which very often leads people to believe it is to be found in the Scriptures. As a matter of fact it appears first in English in Sterne's Sentimental Jour. ney.' It is generally supposed that Sterne took this from an old French proverb. Another rendering of this is to be found in Herbert's "Jacula Pru- dentum,' where 1t takes the form: ITO close-shorn sheep God gives wind to measure"

Johns, that there has not been any drifting or crosscutting from this shaft, and as soon as I get it cleaned out I propose to commence mining" About ten men are being employed at the present, but as soon as ac- commodations can be made, more will be put to work. It takes time and labor to rehabilitate a place in the condition of the Vulture, but in an other month one would scarcely know the old place"
 In the country around Vulture Peak, by the blasts of giant powder, one is informed that the annual as sessments are now being performed. The writer found Mcdonald drilling away in the face of a drift on his gold property, located five miles east of Vulture. "Mc" has some good ore. quite a little showing the yellow metal in quantity.
 North of McDonald's, less than two miles, R. A. Roberts. Jr., has a group of five claims located upon two strong dikes thta are bound to impress any one with their possibili- ties. The east and west vein is be- lieved to be a continuation of the Vulture, and upon it MT. Roberts has three locations or 4,500 feet The formation is fully 100 feet wide and is composed of porphyry, lime, iron, quartz and schists in laminated form. The other vein carries large quartz dike with a 1A to 16 inch streak of copper carbonates that will assay well in copper. The values have never been determined by assay, but gold has been found in the rock by horning. This ledge runs northwest by southwest and forms a junction with the east and west vein about the middle. Little can be deter mined as to the merits of the prop erty by present development, but that it is a most favorable looking prospect, and should impress any one.
