A Day ofiUna||oyed Enjoy- H

'l‘he annual “Guardian picnic" was

held yesterday afternoon on the hes". tiful grounds of Mr. 'l‘. A. Stewart, Westville, than which a more delight. ful spot for a day's outing could not be found in the Maritime Provinces or eisewhere. That this is now gene;-si. ly recognized is conclusively proved by the fact that practically all pic- nics, that are picnics are held here and that the expressions " oin

AN ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY.

It was explained to me that this

may be due to atavism, and for a while I accepted' this explanation, but after studying the anatomical characteristics of the Karakule Afgh- ans, and after having satisfied my- self that I was dealing with hybrids of a very complex nature, we begs" to appreciate why our chances to ob- tain good fur-' from this breed of Ksrakules were not the best, to say the leant.

It was quite by accident that I

found out that by breeding Teddy to the Karakule ewes, fairly good re- sults were obtained, especially from those ewes that had less fine wool in them, and in one instance a Kara- kuie Afghan ewe that had but little sharp underwooi which was bred to s son of Teddy that was not entirely free from flue wool, gave us a fair lamb, which was exhibited at Omaha in 1911.

A number of other tests dually con- vinced us that a small amount of, fine wool can be overcome and con- siderable fine wool in ewes can be neutralized, where the ram is entire- ly free from the short fine under wool.

OTHER EXPERIMENTS.

Where we crossed Merino: and

Shropshires with Teddb a very in- ferior skin was produced in which there was great lack of lustre, and a

very imperfect curl formation, giving the skin a :natty appearance, but ex-, cellent results were obtained when the same ram was bred-.to such of our. lustrous long wools as Lincelps

alfalfa.

ance to the coarse and equally long wool of the good l{ui'akiile_

PRICES.

Although ii great many grade

from lambs that lost their lives in the slio‘.v-storm of 1911 in the l‘u.n- handle country of Texas, those siiiiis which were obtained at the right age from parents that \vcre free from line wool were priced by wholesale fur- riers in New York who work in cou- nectioii with the llepurtnieut of Agri- culture, at $10.00 and $12.00 ‘per skin iii lots of 100 and 200.

blood skills which were tanned and dyed and pri_'ed by Henry Busch & Co. of New York, (to whom wc were referred by the Department at Wash- ington), were declared in a report submitted to the Department at Washington as being in every way equal to those good Persian skins which are annually imported from-_ liokhara, and we will state here that only the rams were free from fine wool. Some of the grade Luncoin ewes which were used, were far from having the required lustre, and show- _'ed the liiimistakeable signs of Merino

skin, and this is to a certain extent true in long wool sleep that do not have their usual lustre, the exception being those that have coarse wool, as is the case with some fatrumps from

We were amused only the other

evening after our lecture at Char- lottetown, when a comiely looking Scotcbman from Nova Scotia told us that he had secured some of the fa-y mous Persian sheep from New Mexi- co, and that hc proposed raising the finest Persian lamb fur in the coun- try. We also ascertained while in Charlottetown that some people from Moncton, New Brunswick and P. E. I. had purchased Kurakule rnms, and as we know better than anyone else who is likely to be in ri position to sell the right kind of Karskulc sheep, nnd. with a view to preventing others from making the mistake of buying_ Karakule rams with a fine wooll iltriiin, we will give the breeders a little idea of the people that own the` right l.‘iiid of Krirakule sheep.

From the above it must be evident

‘that nobody has a chance to produce Karakule rams free from fine wool blood except the Middlewater Cattle Co., and ourselves unless the Courts should for some reason see fit to al- low Mr. (‘.ruwfoi'd to keep one ol the four rain lambs above mentioned and appropriated by him, and we fail to sec nt this time why this should be the case.

SECOND IMPORTATION. ,

In our second importation we

brought eleven Knrakule ruma, one-of which was killed in quarantine, and six Knrakule ewes. Two of then rums became the property of the Mid. dlewntcr Cattle Co., six rnms and four ewes were purchased by Chlli Bremond of New Mexico, and wc own s half interest in them and the bei- ance including three lambs as well as one very large Kalmick fatrump, and one fur producing Knrnchaep ram in in our possession, and which are on our Karakule farm on Prince Edward Island, where we have become interested with the fox raiser,- Mr. John ll.

our ranch in Texas from eating green

The fourth ram was sold by us to

the University of Edinburgh, and while awaiting delivery and during our sb- sence abroad last winter, this ram was appropriated by one, Crawford, whom we are now suing for the re- turn of the ram. _ . The father of these four rams. Ted- dy, is the property of the Middle-
