SHEEP RAISING.
An Industry Which Promises a So
luton of an important Problem.
Minneanolis Trihnne

Minneapolis Tribune.
One Of the pronounced recent departures in
the agricultural industry Of the Northwest is
change from exclusive grain-growlng 10 a
mixed industry, in which live stock and dairy
ing are prominent features. In Minnesota
special attention thus far has been given 10
horses, cattle and hogs; but in Montana and
the DaS otas sheep are arousing the most nota-
bic interest.
In Montana the sheep focks have multiplied
tenf0ld ID ten years. and in 1891 numbered
over 2,S00,O00 animals. Tie sheep industry
OF Montana represents a capital OF $50, 900, 600
and brings In revenue Of nearly $1,000 600
from wool alone. Montana wool has in a brief
p riod attained national reputation.
North Dakota is a recent convert 10 the sheep
industry, but already has more sheep than all
other domestic animals combined, and the iu-
0ustry IS rapidly growing In popular favor as
in prohtabieneSs. The Tribune is Informed by
North Dakota farmers that sheep bid fair 10
be the solution of the crop problem, in paving
the way 10 diVerslfication of products. EXpe-
Iiencsd authorities insist that there is more
money in North Dakota sheep than III grain.
and that sheeD-raising is likely TO be the greas
Industry OF ihe State before many years. With
only few seasons start the sheep indus
try OF North Dakota has grown 10 en-
brace capital OF over S5,00O.0OO and fiOc6
of 100000. The average cost of keeping Is
estimated at 8 per head for the State and the
average fleece about eight pounds. Conse-
quently the wool alone more than pays the cost
OF maintaining the flock, leaving the natural
yearly increase in flock net profit. Album
dant cheap lands, the low cost of hay, grain
and pasturage. and The bealthfuiness OF The
climate make tie Dakotas a Datural sheep
region. The new industry is solution of the
single-crop problem.
10 Minnesota The sheep industry has not yet
attained the prominence given TO several other
branches OF st0ck-rasing. Indeed, the State
has more dogs than sheep. Yet the Govern
ment report for 1891 credits the Stale with
100000 sheep, and an average wool clip of z
pounds per sheep. The principal aim OF sheep
ralsHg in this State is mutton. The Goyep1-
ment special Report on the Sheep iudustB."
1892, states, in ibe chapter Minnesota:
sheep now pay the farmer better thar any
other class OF stock, and In the prairie codntry
those who are now engaged in rasiDga lew
sheep find 1t The most profitable bp'llch OF

An enemy to the cause ofteetotalsm has arisen
in Ohio IN tile shape OF dog. For years Henry
Taylor, a farmer, has lived on a farm just north
of the village of Van Vert. Henry was good
aud upright citizen. but he would get boiling
drunk whenever he went to town. He has a
dog, and this dog, with the members of his
household, always expected him TO come home
with a pronounced load. The dog met him at
the gale and guided his uncertain footsteps 10
the house after each Trip to town.
One Gay Henry went to town and while there
experienced a change of heart. He decided
NOT 10 get drunk, took the pledge and started
for home in a state of painful sobrIety. His
dog was at the gate TO meet him. Henry
walked in straight as string. The dog, ex.
pectIng man with wobOly gait and thick
voice, did not recognize him and jumped upon
him, biting him severely several times and
otherwise maltreatlug him after the manner of
dogs. Thereupon Henry swore an oath that he
would never again return from town without 4
load, and lie has kept the vow. II is clearly

Failure of the Bill Creating the
Office of Elevator Inspector.
Senator Morse's passenger and
freight elevator inspection bill stirred
up the breezy elements yesterday fore
noon. Senator Lienau opposed the
measure for the reason that it is Great
ing an unnecessary office. Further
more, it would bring the state i'll
conflict with city authorities. The cities
have an inspector for the purpose. Sen
ator Lienau administered big roast to
the young man who is logrolling for the
passage of the bill. Senator Tawney
made speech for the bill, as did Seh-
ator Day, and they both emphasized the
number of casualties that have hap
pened in the elevators of the Twin
cities, and that no mention has ever
been made i'll the papers. Senator
Allen objected to the fee of 81 for i'll
spec!ion, and Senator Morse spoke at
some length for the measure. lie de-
MED that the elevators are properly
inspected.
Senator Keller jumped upon the bill.
He charged that it is woodchuck
measure worked by the man who wants
to become an Inspector. The senator
reoited a conversation with the man
who is lobbying for the bill. in which
the latter had said he would "heeP' the
senator if he would help get the bill
through. This man has patent that
he wants applied to all elevators, and II
means a fortune. Senator Craven OPP
posed the bill vigorously. and Senator
Hammer also made a talk against it.
and Senator Lienau explained that the
best inspectors are the insurance CON-
panies. There is scarcely all elevator
that Is not insured and no company will
insure without inspection. The bill
was lost by vote of hayes and n noes
