AN OSTRICH FARM-Ostrlch farming is al.
most new feature among the industries OF
South Africa, and is yet in its infancy. 1hcro
are many different modes of procedure adopt
ed; all, of course, with the same object, that OF
Keeping up the numbers of this valuable bird,
which has been hunted so perslstcntly for the
sake of it's feathers. that there are now no Wild
birds south of the Vaal river. Graham S Town
(Which is most agreeable place and delight
fully situated in the eastern provlncc) has IN
it's ncichborhood several ostrich farmers, some
Of whom are very successful. 1t is found nc
c,.ssary to confnc the birds in Enclosures large
enough for them to obtain their own food ICON
sis,ing OF grass and various kinds OF herbage),
just lis it they were III state OF nature. Ii
they arc kept III smaller paddocks they must
he supplied with food, by artificial means. A
stone wall, three or four feet thick, will generally
keep thcmiu. Some farmers have adopted an IN
cubator, land by its means they have raised Il con-
siderable number of young birds, which at the
end of a month arc worth Go each. Othcrsallow
The birds to hatch their own eggs The feathers,
which arc pluckcd in narrow pen, into which
the birds are enticcd one by one, vary in quality
and price, according to the age OF the birds and
the portion of the body fron which they arc
pluckcd, some Of the best being worth Cas- per
pound.
The farming of the ostrich, if we'll and care
fully conducted upon !. suitable farm, with the
Necessary enclosures and plenty of food, is found
to be- very profitable; and it is now becoming
quite Il common thing among the sheep farmers
TO keep ostrchcs rs we'll as sheep; but the birds
are easily iniurcd-a slight blow from stone
or stick will break their legs, in whicl, case the
bird inevitably dies. The cock birds, whose plum
age is black and white, arc often exceedingly
iicrrr especially at or after pairing season, when
il is dangerous for a man on foot to approach
them, as they will at once give chase. When
they overtakc the lugitIvcthe knock HIM down
with their foot as Il man would with his fist,
and strike ami iramrlc their victim on the
ground, often intlicting very serious injuries.
