MILLIONAIRE'S SAVING.
SHEEP TO TAKE PLACE OF COSTLY MOWERS.
The latest Oil King story from Poeantico Hills, Tarry town, New York State, declares that . Mr. Rockefeller, who is always keen to savo a penny, has substituted a flock of 400 sheep for a dozen or, more expensive motor lawn mowers which hitherto kept his extensive lawns -and golf links trim. . ■ • It took Mr. Rockefeller many days, says tlio story, to conclude that 400 sheep, casting about .£-180, would be less expensive than tho hiring of men to cut tho grass with machines. It was not until tho mul-ti-millionaire was fully persuaded that the investment in sheep would effect a Saviug that ho gave his consent to it.
