MORE SHEEP, LESS DOCS.


In Texas man may ride all
day among the farms in many
sections without seeing or hear
ing the hIeating of u sheep.
As there is no kind of stock
more profitable on an average
farm than sheep, this is not as
il ought TO be. THIS animal
is as near selfsnstaining as a
goose, aud although it ought
be fed when hungry, as
everything else should be, il
requires but little feed and that
is more than paid fer in the
weeds destroyed and the
manure dropped. IF farmers
would eat more mutton and
less pork there would be a
material saving in druggists
bills and doctor bills. a
money saver is as good as a
money maker, aud the sheep
on the farm is both. More
sheep and fewer dogs shonad
be kept on the farms.-Farm
and Ranch.

Acetylene Gas Plant.

Mr.. T. V. Garlock, u enterprising
merchant, this week introduced one Of
the Automatic A~cetylene Gas Appara-
fuses, manufactured by the Niagara
Falls, N. Y, Acetylene Gas Machine
company The plant is a forty-light
power and has been in operation at his
store on Custer Avenue during the
week. 1t produces a pure white light
Of great power, and has been admired
by all those who have seen it. Mr..
q. informs us that besides giving a
much brighter light, its care requires
less time and attention than does a
single kerosene lamp, and the cost of
maintaining it less than one-half of the
old method of lighting, it being only
about $500 per month for twelve lights.
The chemicals used are carbide and
water, and it is regarded as n of the
safest, cheapest and best modes Of light
ing now extant.
Mr.. Garlock has secured the agency
for this state from the manufacturers OF
the above plant, and it is his intention
to introduce it in the near future, in
some of the other Black Hills towns.
