The Sheep Industry OF South Dakota.

wealth OF South Dakota. People do
not realize the gre t growth of this
industry. 1t is a thoroughly estab.
lished fact saws the Daily Capt.
tai, that this state has the best cli-
mate for developing the sheep and
producing as fine and abundant clip of
wool as nj be found in America.
The sheep Inspector for Hughes coun-
ty has just completed q personal in
spection of all the bocks in the county
and repor 8 the sheep absolutely free
from disease cf any sind. And what
is true OF that county is true of all
the counties IN the state. There is
only mi thing that can begin to COM
pete with sheep as a factor in the &C
emulation of wealth and that is a
mortgage; and wher Il mortgage is on
sheep, they will get away with it.
