OSTRICH FARMING.-A cargo of twenty
one ostriches recently passed through this
city on their way to Southern California.
They were two weeks on the way from New
York, and were in charge of man named
Scetchly, who has been with them ever since
they were shipped from Africa. He stated
that the cost of shipping was about $1,000.
They are TO be taken TO an 500 acre farm in
the southern part of the State, where the ex-
pertinent of ostrich farming Is to be tried.
Inc value OF the bird consists in its feathers,
which are used as ornaments. These feathers
are ycSs from 5000 to 500 per pound.
ThersD cksiderabie doubt as to whether the
bird Will thrive and prosper in this State
They are said TO eat anything, from ths finest
grass, fruit and grain to shell feb and tim
cans, and there appears to be no reason why
the experiment should not be a success.
