Scientific Fur Farming
is the Latest Wrinkle
A Kansaa Breeder Produces Expensive Aslotlo
Lamb Pelts, Equal or Superior to lm
ported Karakule Article.
( Written by Harlan P. Smith of Kindts)
Let The Examiner Figure on Your Next Job Work
(The Orange Judd Northwest Farm
lead) It his fallen to tbe lot of a
Kansas farmer to Introduce a new in
dustry to the farming sections of the
United States lur raising. L. M.
Crawford of Chase county is the first
man in the United States to produce
the expensive Persian lamb, Astrakhan
and Krimmer furs for commercial pur
poses. He has turned his entire ranch
of 1900 acres into a fur farm, and he
expects to grow some $9000 or $10,000
worth of these furs this year.
Crawford has proved that the pro
duction of fara can be accomplished in
this country as well as in Russia, from
whence comes the 14 million dollars'
worth of Persian lamb, Astrakhan and
Krimtrer pelts imported by the United
States everv year. He obtaina these
furs crossing Karakule rams from Asia
on American Lincoln ewes. The skins
from the resulting lambs, when only
a few aays old. are wortb from $0 to
fl2 apiece. When 1 visited the fur
farm, April 6, 1913. Ciawtord already
bad nearly 300 of these lambs and
the lambing season had just begun.
Tbe Karakule is a hardy and prolific
sheep, consequently few ewes will fail
to bear one lamb at least. Many of
them will have twins. A few of the
lambs were torn dead, but that did
net affect tbe value of the fur. In fact
lambs prematurely born sometimes
bear the most expensive pelts as they
have tighter curls.
Crawford' experiment at least has
gone far enough to convince breeders
at tbe Kansas agricultural college that
a new branch of farming of great
economic promise for the United States
has been discovered. An expert breed
er from tbe college. Dr. K. K. Nabours,
is co-operating with Crawford in an
effort to develop the new industry. Dr.
Nabours believes that in the course of
a few years the farmers of this coun
try will be producing the 14 million
dollars' wortb of these furs annually
needed by the United States. By keep
ing a few Karakule rams any sheep
breeder might Increase hit profits quite
materially every year by the production
of these lamb skins. It was little
more than a year ago that Crawford
converted this rtnch Into a fur firm.
It wta then that thit Kanstt farmer
decided to try for a share of the mil
lions sent out of thla country for the
expensive furs of Asia. It required
faith, but Crawford had it and he
went at his new undertaking in no half-ldct thRt the Leicester and WenHlcy
But the Karakule doea not possess the
disagreeable musk flavor of the gott
family, and of American theep. A
niasilv head, a short ftce and a note
line greatly bent are charecterliitict
ot the Karakule. The eara are large
and pendulous: feet thick, short and
very strong. The tail it Urge and
triangular shaped with a twist on the
end. Often It weighs 85 pounds.
Sometimes it la so large that It has
to bo supported by a two-wheeled cart
to which the animal It hitched. The
wool it gray, long and coarse, with oc
casionally a toft under wool, which
Indicatci tbe presence of tight-wool
blood, and It not desired, except on tbe
front of the head and on the rear ex
tremities, where it it black, very lua
troua and curly. Tbe young lamba are
black and curly and potaesa a wonder
ful luster. Excellent tight-curled
black skins have been produced on the
Crawford ranch by crossing Karakulea
with American Lincoln and Cotawolda,
and Crawford believes it safe to pre-
hearted way. He bought 30 pure-bred
Kartkules, the larger part of the only
herd ever imported to thia country, so
far as Is known, and shipped in 1100
Lincoln ewes form the Gooding ranch
in Idaho. The entire Investment was
$35.010.
Last fall Crawford, with the advice
of Dr. Nabours, began creating the
19 Karakule rams in his herd on the
1100 ewes. From these crosses he is
now getting lustriout black lamb skins
worth $3, 10 and $12 apiece, some of
the lambs come as Perisian lamb fur,
which is the most expensive; others as
Astrakhan, which is a fur of looser
curls, while some of the pelts have a
gray shade and are known at Krimmer
fur. This last -is less expensive than
the other two kinds.
The Karakule is a desert sheep
native to Dokhara, central Asia. lie
cause of the extreme heat of summer
and tbe intense cold of winter in that
country these nhtop have become in
ured to these hardships and can there
fore stand much more heat and cold
than any native American sheep. The
scant vegetation on the steppes of
bokrmra also has developed the Kar
arule into a great rustler and browser.
In hardiness only the Mexican goats
and the American mountain sheep can
compare witb them. 'I hid explains
why the hybrids resulting from a cross
between tbe Karakule and any Amer
ican sheep would starve. No goat will out the neoessity
keep underbrush down more etliciently j rams from Asia.
dale breeds will give fully as good fur,
If not bolter. The hybrid produced
by Karakules on native sheep are of
greatest value as fur, but they have
other qualities which will mako them
a highly desirable typo of sheep. They
grow much larger than the native ani
mals. Testt made by packers at Ft.
Worth, Tex. and such breeders as
Rhome, Goodnight, Simonson and
Crawford proved conclusively that
when American tight-wool theep. Mer
inos, Rambouillets, Shropshire and
others, are crossed witb Karakules or
with Karakulc-Lincolns there is an
increase In weight amounting in some
ctsos 50 per cent. Thirty-five per
cent it considered by theep buyert as
an average increase. What is even
more important la the fact that the
Ka akule strain seems absolutely to
breed out the woolly or musk-like llav
or of the meat of tight-wool sheep.
Mr. Crawford has the co-operation
of the Kansas agricultural college in
developing his new industry. Or.
Nabours has advised with Mr. Craw
ford in the crossing of the sheep. He
is making a close study of heredity.
He is particularly interested in the
possibilities of interbreeding Kara
kules with native sheep and with hy
brids. If the hybrids produced follow
the Mendelian law of inheritance, it
will be possible for Crawford to get
any of the pure-bred Karakules with-
of importing more
If the hybrids of

many other respects these animsls re- do not split up into, pure-bred Kara
aemble the goat more than the sheep, kulet and pure-bred Lincoln, accord
ing to the Mendelian law, but blend
and breed true, then thlt country will
hive a new breed of sheep. And meh

native theep, should be a very valu
