DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 6. - The
housewife who, tired of beef, pork
and mutton, yearns for "some new
animal to eat, should have at
tended the banquet Col. Frank p
Holland gave recentlys Three
4 brand new articles of food were
served, namely:
'.Barbacued CattaIO."
sRoast KarakuEe Lamb"
"CottOnseed Flour Bread"
while Pinchot is crying for
conservation, said Col. Holland
as postmaster, Texas arises to
present to waiting world not
merely conservation, but the crea-
ton of three new and very valua-
! BILE articles of food-which is con-
servation outdone. Moreover, not
only shall We partake of the new
1viands, but We have here with us
tonight the three men who put
them ON the market"
He referred to Col. Charles
Goodnight, proprietor OF the ia
nous buffalo ranch at Goodnight,
Tex, where the cattalo is bred; DR..
c. G. Young, Russian refugee,
the only man in the world, it is
said, who ever got flock of kara
kule sheep out of Bokkhara; and
Col. Joe Allison, Ennis, Tex, in
ventor of cettonseed flour bread,
said to be almost a specific for
Bright's disease, and moreover a
pleasing variation from wheat
flour or corn bread.
The cattalo is the offspring Of
the original wild buffalo ana
Polled Angus cattle. Col. Good
nights expectation of producing,
by crossing, the heaviest meat
grower among domestic animals,
was realized. Moreover, the cat
talo is very hardy and docile and
can live on next to nothing. AS a
packing house possibility, its pros
poets are said to be uprivaled.
The cattalo at the Holland ban
quet was served barbecued. The
roast was of heavy grain, but ten
der. The taste was rich and salts
flying and the meat was like choice
beef.
Then came the karakule sheep.
1t wasn't pure karakule, it deyel-
oped, but cross from the kara
kule, the negro of the sheep fam
ily'' from Turkestan, with high
grade American sheep. A karakule
in America is almost worth its
weight in gold. and DR.. Young,
who furnished the animal for the
Holland spread, admitted he
wouldn't kill one for the car of
Russia himself" that Is not
purebred karakule.
But the almost karakule was
about the finest lamb any of the
diners ever tasted.
The only karakule flock in the
world outside of Bokkhara, its ma
tive heath, according to DR.. Young
Is the one he and Col. Goodnight
have at the Goodnight ranch. They
are after neither mutton nor wool.
They are out for furs. The hides
Of the karakule and its crossbreeds
furnish the fine furs called 'af-
ghan,' "astrachan" or Persian
lamb.
We send IA million dollars
each year to those yellow devils i
over in Central Asia" said DR..
Young, for these furs. l think
wo will bring this. money to-
Texas"
But Of more general value than
either the cattalo or karakule tol
humanity Is Col. Allison's cotton
seed for bread. In appearance
