Robert Eld$dge of Cincinnati, who
has just returned from Russia, wrere he
has beep rearing goats and camels, says
he has seen good pack camels carry
more than a ton on their backs, out s ton
is considered a fair burden.
"Are there many camels reared in
Russia?"
"The industry is not important in a
commercial point of view. I have been
engaged in it for four years. I have fig
ured that there are 25;000 camels in the
Kludscha and Erivan districts, the
Kuldechshave about 20,000, and the
Khiruere not fr from 180,000. Camels
are bred for their labor principally, but
alo) foi their hair and milk. A. camel
will shear from eighteen to twenty-two
pounds of hair. This is worth in the
open market about $2.10 a pond."
"You also raised goat.!"
"Yes, I had about 800 in my ranch
when I left. There are over a million
adla half of gsats in Europeua Ragia.
The industry is the most imporiant in
