Result of the Primaries

Primaries were held through
out the State last Monday. The
principal contest was in Balti-
more City. where the Demo-
cratic organization candidates
won out by big majorities
wherever they united upon a
candidate. Many organization
men voted for McNulty for
sheriff. and he was nominated.
Hargrave, who was defeated
by McNulty claims that organi-
cation leaders marked ballots
in favor of McNulty, and in
this way showed him under.
Padgett and Ways, paving con
tractors. were also defeated by
organization voters, who wish
ed to remove them from "A po-
sition where they would be
criticised to the detriment of
the party.
The fights in the Democratic
primaries throughout the State
resulted in favor of the Regu-
lars in most cases. In Kent
and Caroline the fight was ex-
tremely hot. The Barrol fac
ton in Kent was confident of
winning, but they got the worst
of the contest. Former Con-
gresham Thomas A. Smith, of
Caroline, won out by a substan-
tial majority.
Those favorable to the re-elec-
ton of Chairman andiver
have a large majority in the
coming State convention.
Blair Lee won out in his
county by a good majority.
Joshua Miles and his friends
won out in Somerset. Enos Ray
and his friends swept Prince
Georges for the organization.
The Crother's faction was de-
feated in Cecil, and the friends
of Senator John Walter Smith
were victors.

True Democrats

Ii has been whispered around
for the purpose of misrepresen-
tation, that certain Democrats
in the State are not going to
support Hon. Blair Lee for the
Senate. The object of such re-
ports is to get Democrats war
ring among themselves. In
Worcester County every Demo
crat who belongs to the regular
Democracy will vote and work
for the election of Senator Lee.
We are not the kind of people
who preach regularity and then
knife a Democrat, either by
voting against him or talking
against him. Senator Lee is
just as much the candidate of
Senator Smiths friends as if
Senator Smith was running for
the office. We do not know of Il
single Democratic voter against
Senator Lee in Worcester.

No Primaries For The
Republicans.

The Legalized Primary of
Maryland seems to have been
enacted solely for the Demo
Gratis. 1t is a splendid medium
for wrecking a political party,
so our Republican friends,
through the bosses of their party
make their nomination without
the semblance Of a primary and
in most cases without a conven-
ton. As a rule the man who
has the temerity to announce
himself a Republican candidate
and has not been brought out
by the Republican boss is given
a sharp quick turn that brings
him to the realization that a
boss or bosses who control
absolutely the party men is not
TO be triiled with. and he takes
a back seat until he is called to
the front by the proper person.
Republicans are very much in
favor Of Legalized Primaries
for the Democrats. and by the
same token are very much OPP
posed to them for the Republi-
cans

The States Schools

For a great many years tn,
Baltimore papers cried out tina
it was an injustice for Balti
more to be taxed for the public
schools of the counties. and ",
have argued all along that al
the city was made up of county
people we were furnishing tn,
city her best men and women
and in helping to educate then
they were simply helping tC
educate their future citizens
We were very agreeably sur
prised to find the following
very timely editorial in the last
Baltimore Telegram. 1t shows
the editor of that paper to have
the true idea of citizenship
and the proper knowledge OF
State education. The Telegram
says
The report of DR.. VI. Bates
stephens. State Superintendent
of Education, is an interesting
document. DR.. Stephens is fully
alive to the educational inter
ests of the State and has giver
much thought to his office. Tn,
public schools of the city Of
Baltimore are in a state of suct
efficiency that the people of tn,
city do not realize the needs OF
the rest of the State. Yet il il
important to the city. as wei
as TO the counties, that the ru.
raj schools should be properly
sustained.
From the counties we receive
many of our best citizens and
the interests of the city and OF
the counties are so intimately
connected that what promotes
one is bound to promote the
other.
The first recommendation
made by Dir. Stephens is thai
an accurate survey Of the exist.
ing schools should be made by
a board Of three persons, repre-
senting respectively, the United
States Commission of Educa.
ton, the Board of Education
and the respective county
school boards. His second recon
mendation is that the public
should be awakened to the
needs of the public schools
This lies so peculiarly within
the province Of the school au
thorities of the State that any
failure TO excite this Interest
can be due only to them. The
necessity of public education OF
the right sort is too obvious L
need discussion. If the peopl,
are not interested in il, this
must he the fault of those who
have it in charge. There is NJ
lack Of interest in the public
schools Of the city of Baltimore
A number Of other recon
mendations are made, most OF
which call for increased appro
priations. 1t is quite natura
that any department should
seek for more money. Neces
sarily the greater the means al
its disposal, the greater the re
suits il can accomplish. Tn,
question is as to the ability OF
taxpayers to meet those new
demands upon them. The full
report deserves careful study
but someone who knows should
find out approximately wha'
would be the cost of each Of tn,
improvements demanded. The
Legislature would then be in q
position to determine intelli
gently what additional expen
ditures the State could afford

breeds is much harder and can live
on pasture where the average Ameri-
can sheep would starve.
A massive head, a short face, and a
nose line greatly bent are charteristlcS
of a Karakul. The ears are large and
pendulous; feet thick, short and very
strong. The tail is larg and triangular
shaped, with a twist on the end. Often
is weighs thirty-five pounds. Some
times it is so large that it has to be
supported by a two-wheeled cart to
which the animal is hitched. The wool
is gray, long and coarse, with occas-

Gates the presence of tight-wool blood,
and is not wanted except on the front
of the head and on the lower eX-
tremities, where it is black, very lus-
trous and curly. The young lambs
are black and curly and possess a
wonderful luster.
When Karakul rams are bred to
any sheep-white, gray or brown
the offspring lambs are a beautiful
luStrouS black the first few days. All
such hybrid lambskins are valuable as
fur if marketed soon after birth. In
fact the earlier the hide is obtained
the more valuable it is. The most ex-
pensive skins are sometimes obtained
from lambs prematurely born. When
born with tight, lustrous curlS they are
known among furriers as Persian
lamb furs. These bring the highest
prices If they come with open curls
they are called Astrakhan. When the
skins show gray shades they are
known as Krimmer.
Excellent tight-curled black skins
were produced in Texas and on the
Crawford ranch by crossing Karakuls
with American Lincolns and Cots
wolds, and it is probably safe to pre-
dict that the Leicester and WensIey-
dales will give fully as good fur if

are promising Last spring the Kara
kul herd was sold by Doctor Young, the
larger part going to Mr.. Crawford and
the rest to ]. F. Simonson, of Middle
water, Texas.
Mr.. Crawford has about thirty head
of purebred Karakuls. Nineteen of
them are rams. These are being
crossed on LOO Lincoln ewes which he
bought from the Gooding ranch, in
Idaho. About March l. 1913. lambing
will begin. Assuming that there will be
LOO lambs-and that is probably not
too high an estimate, since many ewes
will bear twinS-and estimating the
average value of the skins of these
lambs to be SO apiece, Crawford will
have a fur crop worth nearly $1,000.
Add to this the profits he will receive
from mutton and from the sale of
breeding stock and the total income
from the fur farm should make inter-
eSting figures.

In the recent issue of the Country
Gentleman appeared an article by Har-
Ian T. Smith having to do with the
successful efforts of a Topeka man to
conduct fur farm in Chase county. l..
M. Crawford, of Topeka, Is the man re-
ferred to, and the expert declares that
he has made wonderful success of the
effort. Crossing imported rams with
native ewes, the result is the production
of the furs equal to the valuable and
imported articles. The reproduction of

At an expense of approximately
$35,000, Mr.. L. NJ. Crawford, of
Topeka, Kanaas, has converted his
ranch of 1900 acres into fur farm. By
crossing Karakul rams from Asia on
native Lincoln ewes he expects to pro-
duce the valuable Persian lamb, Astra-
khan and Krimmer furs of which the
United States imports $14, 100000 worth
annually from Asia He has proved
that it can be done. LambskinS re-
sulting from crosses made in his flock
were priced in Chicago and New York
at from So to SIS apiece. These skins
were from lambs only a few days old.
Mr. Crawford is the first man in the
United States to attempt the production
of these furs for other than experiment
tai purposes.
He has the main body of the only
herd of Karakul sheep ever brought in
to this country. These sheep were i'm
ported direct from Asia in 1908 by DR..
c. C. Young, of Texas. Since that time
experimental work in crossing these
with native sheep has been carried on
in Texas and Michigan, and a test is
now being made by the United States
Department of Agriculture. According
to recent report from the bureau of
animal industry the tests with these
sheep have not gone far enough for the
announcement Of definite conclusions,
except that the results so far obtained
