Karaktilc-.Arabi sheep came originally fioni IJok.ira, West Turkestan, Ucntral Asiu. This is the ori|;inal honn' of the Karakule-.Arihi sheep, which produces the valutble lur known as Persian lamb, aslinklian, ai.d krinimcr. While there are si.t distinct species of llie Kiiakule-Aiabi sheep.only three of them produce skina which at birth ari.' jet black, with lustrous, close, tis;hl curls, which somi after open out all over the body ai.d become grey, except on the face, neck, leg», ah-Jomen and end of (ail. These are the furs of value which have come into such demand of late yea>'s. The possibiUly ^f establish- inijthe industry in America led to two importations beln<> made in 1908 and 1!M2 respcciivly. These sheep were brought ( ver by \)i. C. C Young, of Helen, Texas. The tiist lot consisted of five rams and twelve ewes. From this ftock and its . iL^'prinn llocks have been established in Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, 1>I trylaiid, I'tiucc Kdward Island and New Brunswick. .Vn experienced breeder lia« outhiied the iray t j start new tl'.>cks in ihia industry. When one is unable to get the full blood rain.s and «wes, which aiu limited in nuuibers oD this continent and has suu^csted to surt with a lhreei|iiarter bh od ram luiioiig llie native ewei*, vvliieli will eiitble him to produce a gi oUy number of ewes of Karakule strain. Then the iiilioductioii of a purebred ram will soon place llie breeders runch on a very lii^li standard. Dr. C C Vounsi, the highest authmity, and the original impuiter if pure-biel Karakule sheep to this continent, may be .(Uott-d as ssyii.i; that : '"Tha pro|,er system Is to u^e full-bloids to produce breedinK atiiiiiHls hihI use grades to produce the fuis.

K.er since the hrst orchard wis ijjai leu at the Cenral Experimental Farm, Ottawd, in Iftf^H, the Mclnlosh ap|le has been under tent by the Kxpenmental Xariii system ami during that time inuch â- useful informal ion lias la en obtained in regard tj this line virie'y. In very severe winters when the Fanieuse apple was injured, the Mcintosh rtiiiaiiied uiibnrnied, thus [iroving tlial it is ha: dier than that variety from which it is suppo,sed to have sprung. Foi a long tiuic the Mcliito.sli apple had the reputation of Ijeing a shy beirer, but in nearly thirty years' eiperiiiice Willi i' at <Utawii, it hais been found to be one of the most productive varieties under test. The tree doe8 not ofien bear very heavily, or uvei bear any onu year and then fad to bear the following year, but it ia an annual bearer, as a rule, giving a good and medium crop alternate y, the number <jf small crops being few. FoUowing are the yields of one Mcintosh tree planted at Oitawa in IH!>U, the first yield being iecorc'ed in 1H!)M, the Hth year after plaiilir.g. The yields are recorded in gallons, but if it is desired to reduce them to barrels there are 24 gallons in a standard barrel. Yield of one Mcintosh apple tree from liie ^ih year after plant- ing, in gallons, â€" 17.^, "-li, .'IT, tii, 71',, m, 12, JOit, .t. W.h, 41 i, 1«4, 11-.', 44, 14!), a total of 1432i gallons for I!' seasons or an average of a little over :'. barrels per year from one tree. It has been found by experiineit that ill Ontario, at least, llie Mcliilosh is self- iiterile, or, at least, pr.ictically sonnd to «nture a good set of fruit there sliouU be another variety or virilies, blooiiiing at the same time, growinf/ near it. 'i'lie Mcintosh apple is subjecl to the Ap|de .Scab Fungus, mid in acme seasoiiH if the trees are iritspinyed the pri'()or- tloii uf No. I fiuit will be small. This year, at Ottawa it was found necessary to spray the iroes six times with lime- eulphur wash to ensuie clean fruit, but Alie rewaid was a large proportion of No. 1 fi"uit in a year when there was, in many <)uarteiH, a very Hiiiall proportion of No. 1 grade on unsprayod or pr orly flprnyed treea. As a rule, three or four spriyings are suMicient. Owing to ila very high .juality and the xjreal beauty of the fruit, it is believed 'that liie demand for Mcintosh apples will lie an cveiincrciisiii^; one. There »ro innny relatively poor apples of the «sme teason still being grown which will ,.bave to, ill time, give place to Mclniosh.
