THE CURLIEST LAIVIB BORN. 



Full-blood Karakul lamb four days old. The father is Teddy senior, the property of the Middle- 

 water Cattle Company; the mother is a full-blood Karakul ewe, but has some fine wool m her 

 fleece Little of this is evident in the lamb, however, bearing out Dr. Young's contention 

 that a small amount of fine wool in the ewe can be neutralized by a prepotent, decidedly 

 coarse-wool ram. Note the tight curls of the lamb, extending from the tip of its nose to 

 the end of each extremity. Photograph furnished by Joseph Simonson. (Figure 12.)
