Electric Lighted Pens
Used to Fatten Sheep

Electric lighting of pens at night
causes sheep to eat frequently and grow
fat for the markets In record time. The
tour made through the ranch section OF
Oregon by Samuel Galiand. n Spokane
flnancier. resulted In the discovery that
the Oregon sheep growers are using
electricity extensively for 10th light and
power.
Besides being applied for pumping in
irrigation districts and for doing nearly
all the ranch work. electricity has been
wired into the sheep pens. The light
Is turned on at o'clock in the after
noon In winter and burns until 0 o'clock.
The ranchers find that sheep will eat
during off periods when the light is
turned on. At I o'clock In the morning
lights are switched on again. and the
sheep again begin to feed. Frequent
feedinss encourage the animals to eat
SO much that they are quickly fattened
for the market.

The up-to-date theater couldn't exist

Gus new electrical theater devices has
been made In one of the largest play

and other apparatus. This equipment
Will produce any effect from n noun
tain sunrise to "A golden sunset and
then show with all the viyidness Of
actual life the burning OF "A house at
night or distant thunderstorm. A
long narrow glass runway through the
auditorium is used in conjunction with
the stage. A multiplicity OF high pow

eral lighting Of house and signs hun
dreds OF other lights are used.
During the warm season number
or electric motors blow air through a
box Of Ice into the auditorium by mea ms
of large electrically driven fans. Dozens
or motor driven fans at vantage points
keep up the air circulation. Motors are
as operating hoists In flying ballcts and
turning circular swings and revolving
platforms.
Electricity has been proved to be a
most potential factor In keeping the
stage alive. and is furnishing range
OF effects that no other means OF light
