THE KARAKuLE SHEEP.

Crossed on Native Ewes II Produces
Costly Furs.
DR.. c. c. Young Of Texas has made
a careful study Of the value Of Kara
kule sheep to the live stock interests
Of America. As Is well known, 1t Is
exceedingly difficult to secure breed
ing stock from central Asia, as these
animals are religiously guarded. says
Orange Judd Farmer. He succeeded.
however. in bringing fifteen bucks to
America. and they are now on bis
ranch in northwestern Texas. and will
be used In connection with the sheep
already In the country In producing
the high price furs for which there Is
so great a demand.
DR.. Young Is convinced by his own
observation and by experiments In
this country, as well as In the old
world. where his father has been
raising fur for thirty years. that the
best results can be secured by crossing
the Karakule bucks on some of the
long wool breeds. particularly the
Lincolnshire. although excellent furs
have been secured from Leicesters.
Cotswolds and the Wensleydales. Fur
thus produced possesses a luster al
most equal to the Angora goat and is
far superior to anything that Asia can
produce. Experiments In America.
conducted by such men as Goodnight,
Albright and others. prove conclu-
sively that we can produce furs that
will excel in beauty and luster the
Persian lamb skins sold In the United
States. DIR. Young states that his ex-
perience is limited TO crossing on the
Lincolnshires. Shropshires and Me-
rinos.
AS the supply of Karakule bucks is
limited, it will be necessary to depend
largely upon half breeds probably to
bring about the improvement desired.
Or. Young thinks 1t safe to say that
the average skin produced by crossing
the half breed Karakule Lincoln bucks
with any of the long wool breeds will
bring from So to $40. This. however,
is not the only advantage gained by

Of Karakule blood comes not only from

cept that it has been a part OF the
ceremony Of dress parade for an in
definitely long period.
Lieutenant Bob Phillips was adju-
tant Of the post. Now, the adjutant ia
an important man at all military cere-
monies, especially dress parade. As
Colonel Auchincloss passed Lieutenant
Phillips was standing, like all the rest,
stiff as ramrod, while the band was
marching back and forth. Lieutenant
Phillips was suffering at the time from
a sore spot on the tip Of his nose. 1t
so happened that hungry fly lit on
the organ and, finding such sustenance
in the sore spot as especially suited
its taste, began to pull Justify.
There are nerves in noses, especial
~ on the under side. The agony en-.
dured by the adjutant was excruclat
ing. Nevertheless, owing to the Inn.
portant part he took In the military
ceremony he was the last man on the
ground who should infringe upon mill.
tary discipline by raising his hand ia
shoe away the fly. Such a breach OF
uniformity would be especially notice
able in every one and If made by the
adjutant would constitute a frightful
example to the rest Of the corps on
parade
Furthermore, 1t was expected tina
every man would be at "eyes 'front.'
Phillips held his eyes in that position
rigidly. Consequently he did not see
the approach Of his commander on his
right. Just before the colonel came
within his range Of vision Phillips ag
ony had passed the limit of human
endurance, and his hand went up to
brush of the fly.
Colonel Auchincloss stopped. cast q
terrible glance at the transgressor and
passed on. Phillips saw him and knew
that he was doomed. He was then
preparing for examination for his pro
motion to be captain and felt sure that
such fragrant breach Of discipline as
raising hand to brush a fly from @
sore spot on his nose would be great
detriment to his attaining the rank to
which he aspired.
The next day Phillips was Obliged
to read on parade an order relieving
himself Of the duties of adjutant OF
the post and appointing another in his
place. After the ceremony he went to
his quarters wishing that he might be
permitted to challenge the colonel and
run him through to the hilt. Persons
suffer by their mistakes. their misfor.
tunes, and injustice. 1t Is only In the
last Of these cases that rebellion can
possibly be advisable. and even then
to grin and bear 1t is usually the best
policy. Lieutenant Phillips was In q
sense obliged to do this. but a spirit
OF animosity toward the colonel was
engendered in him which promised to
burst into a flame and bring ON an
army scandal.
Now. 1t happened that Colonel An.
chincloss. who, notwithstanding his
age, was a bachelor. and Lieutenant
Phillips unknown to each other had In.
tentions with regard to young lady
who was stopping at one Of the hotels
outside the military reservation. What

During the first part OF the present
year there were in the kingdom $780,
b18 inhabitants. The increase during
the past year is greater than during
any previous year since 1898, and
naturally the Anti-Emigration society
Is very much encouraged and will re-
double its energies for next year in
order to induce the agricultural classes
from moving out of the country, es-
pecially to the United States. In this
connection 1t may be justly stated that
the Anti-Swedish Emigration Society
Is doing all in its power to prevent
further emigration and in a measure
they have succeeded. The society Is
sending out a mass OF literature,
which contains every effective argu-

The following interesting report re-
garding the population OF Iceland
comes from Copenhagen: The census
Of Iceland. begun Dec. /, 1910, is now
completed and the figures have been
made public. This gives the island
a population Of 85.0Ss. The popula-
ton on Nov. 1. 1901. was 7S,470, the
ratio of increase thus being nine per
thousand each year. little less than
the ratio In Denmark. The popula-
ton of Iceland in 1901 was 1920.
From that time on there was a steady
increase until 1889. when the popula.
ton was 72.400. During the eighties,
however. an epidemic. together with a
heavy emigration, checked the in
crease Of population. At the present
time the population is on the increase
again. About two-fifths of the peo
pie of Iceland live In the cities or
towns. The largest city is the capital.

ton Of 1859.
