FUR FARMING FOR

It has been found that inbreeding 
is detrimental to the production of fur. 
A S wool producers: Up to a few 
years ago, few Karakul breeders 
paid any attention to the wool 
question, even though Karakul wool 12 
inches long would bring $1 per pound. 
It was also known that Karakul rams 
shear from 8 to 21 pounds, ewes from 
6 to 14 pounds. Wool 31 inches in 
length from one ram sold at $2 per 
pound. A 5 months old lamb sheared 7 
pounds, 7 inches long; rams shearing 18 
pounds in 12 months are not uncommon. 
Six pounds is the least any Karakul 
ever sheared. 
If careful selection is practised, the 
Karakul will more than hold its own 
with any breed, although often the wool 
does not bring more than any mixed 
wool; this, however, can be avoided. 
Where the wool was properly selected 
it sold in June, 1917, for 49 cents, which 
was the price ordinary wool brought 
in the market. 
With careful breeding, the Karakul 
will easily excel any other breed in 
America from a wool standpoint. I 
have known half-breed Karakul-Nava- 
jos to shear 10 pounds, the mother 
hardly clipped 3 pounds. The Karakul 
will give twice as much milk as any 
other breed in the world, therefore, no 
milk goats are kept in the desert of 
West Turkestan. The milk is held by 
the natives as possessing great curative 
properties in all stages of tuberculosis, 
neurasthenia, and prenicious anemia. 
Remember Karakul ewes never dis- 
own their lambs, never wear their teeth 
down and herd very close. They can 
cover tremendous distances daily and 
live where an Angora goat will starve, 
and as browsers and destroyers of un- 
derbrush, no domestic animal can com- 
pare with them. They should be intro- 
duced in well-drained cut-over timber 
countries, can stand any crimate, will 
thrive on Russian thistles and accumu- 
late great quantities of fat; 60 pound 
lambs in 60 days are now the exception, 
but with care can be made the rule. 
I APPEND a letter from Armour & 
Company written October 3, 1911: 
‘We take great pleasure in testify- 
ing to the superior mutton qualities of 
the Asiatic Karakul Broadtail Sheep, 
because we are very much interested in 
seeing a development of this strain in 
this country. Our experience has been 
that on crosses between Asiatic Karakul 
Broadtail 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. 
‘We hope you will be successful in in- 
troducing this strain generally because 
we think it will improve our Southern 
stock, particularly from a mutton 
standpoint.’ ”
