FUR FARMING FOR BROADTAIL y 7 



"October 3, 191 1. 



"Dr. C. C. Young, 

 "Dear Sir: 



" I take great pleasure in testifying to the superior mutton quali- 

 ties of the Asiatic Karakul Broad-tail Sheep because I am very much 

 interested in seeing a development of this strain in this country. 



"Our experience has been that on crosses between Asiatic 

 Karakul Broad-tail Sheep and one or two other domestic varieties, 

 lambs were obtained which at the proper age weigh 90 to 105 pounds 

 and have the most delicious flavor, as well as the heaviest yield of 

 mutton. 



"I hope you will be successful in introducing this strain generally 

 because I think it will improve our Southern stock, particularly 

 from a mutton standpoint. 



" Yours truly, Armour & Company. 

 "H. E. Finney, General Manager." 



The pork packers of Chicago seem to corroborate Dr. Young's 

 claims in full.
