SHEEP RAISING lr l..-,.oRrt4wesT.
An Industry Which Promises Solution of an Important Problem.

An Industry Which Promises a Solution of
 an Important Problem.
 One of the pronounced recent depar- lures in the agricultural industry of the northwest is 8 change from exclusive grain growing to & mixed industry in which live stock and dairying are promi- nent features. In Minnesota special at tention thus far has been given to horses, cattle and hogs, but in Montana and the Dakotas sheep are arousing the most notable interest.
 In Montana the sheep hooks have null tiplied tenfold in 10 years and in 1891 numbered over 2,sO0,O00 animals. The sheep industry of Montana represents capital of SEQ, 100000 and brings in revenue of nearly &, ,500, 900 from wool alone. Montana wool has in 8 brief period attained national reputation.
 North Dakota is a recent convert to the sheep industry, but already has more sheep than all other domestic animals combined. and the industry Is rapidly growing in popular favor as In profit ableness. The Tribune is informed by North Dakota farmers that sheep bid fair to be the solution of the crop prob lem in paving the way to diversifca- tion of products. Experienced authori ties insist that there is more money in North Dakota sheep than in grain, and that sheep raising is likely to be the great industry of that state before many years.
 With only a few seasons start the sheep industry of North Dakota has grown to embrace capital of over $5,- GOO, 900 and a flock of 600,00 The aver age cost of keeping is estimated at $1 per head for the state and the average fleece about eight pounds. Consequently the wool alone more than pays the cost of maintaining the flock, leaving the natural yearly increase in flock net profit. Abundant cheap lands. the low cost of hay, grain and pasturage and the Dakotas natural sheep region. The new industry is a solution of the single crop problem. ..
 In Minnesota the sheep industry has not yet attained the prominence given to several other branches of stock raising. Indeed the state has more dogs than sheep. Yet the government report for 1891 credits the state with 400, ,000 sheep and an average wool clip of seven pounds per sheep. The principal aim of sheep raising in this state is mutton. The gov ernment Special Report on the Sheep Industry" 1892, states, In the chapter on Minnesota, "Sheep now pay the farmer better than any other class of stock, and in the prairie country those who are now engaged in raising few sheep find 1t the most profitable branch of mixed in- dustry."
 The average annual increase in flock Is placed at 95 per cent, and the average cost of keeping at $1 or less per head. The government department enumerates numerous advantages-excepti fa- vorable climate, the best of feed and water, freedom from disease and first class local market-which Minnesota possesses over all eastern states. Sheep brought to this state from Ohio and other eastern sheep regions show a marked gain in weight of fleece and car cass. The government department en- tertains enthusiastic sentiments regard ing the future of Minnesota's sheep in> dustry Tribune.

But She Would Have Preferred to DAN
 Rather Than Reveal It.
 One of the most estimable women qf Louisville and one whose friends wou0 never suspect her as the one referred to below is subject to smothering spells and confidently expects some day to die during one of them. Several days ago, while sitting at her front window en- gagged at some light needlework, conyers- ing with a neighbor, she felt one of the spells coming over her. She called to ber friend to summon Dr. - and then fan her. The friend was sent for the family physician, and in no time he was at the house.
 Meanwhile the sufferer was sure shs was dying. "Oh, Mrs. -," she sobbed historically, 'I know I am going this time. I'm dyingnow; rmdying. Goodhy, Mrs. -." The doctor at once began the application of the usual restoretteee, but they seemed of no avail The .sif ferer appeared to be gradually losing har breath, and the doctor believed she was expiring. He tore away her ruching about her neck and called to her friend: "Mrs. -, take off her shoes, please, we must enliven her circulation somehow" !" The doctor got her neck free enough, but when the friend lifted one foot to re- move the shoe the sufferer kicked her friends hands with the other foot.
 The doctor did not notice this, but thinking the friend could perhaps not undo the buttons he reached down and picked up one of the patients feet. The sufferer, evidently in her last gasps, kicked him also, but the doctor was de- termined. Mrs. -," he said, "your shoes are too tight. They must come of"
 Don't, doctor" gurgled the patient. Don't, doctor; I'm dying"
 "I know it, Mrs. -," he said, .sbut those shoes must come off"
 "Oh, no, doctorr' was the feeb, plead ing.
 But I say yes," answered the nov frightened doctor, land I'll take them of too"
 "Oh, doctor, please don't, please don't"-
 "rm sorry, Mrs. -. but
 Raising herself with a powerful effort, the patient, pale as death itself, gasped; "Please don't take off my shoes, doctor. My stockings are full of holes"
 The effort seemed to bring back the life to the sufferer, and In half an hour she was as well as ever, with new pair of stockings on. fully ready for the next ''spen. ."-Louisville Courier-Journal.
