Ostrich Farms
In California

Most people have heard something OF
ostrich farming in South Africa, but few,
comparatively, know that within the last
ten years ostriches have been imported
into Southern California, and thrive well
in that beautiful climate. Il was lately
saying" writes correspondent from
California, ION an ostrich farm owned by
an Englishman at Norwalk, Los Angeles
county, Cal, and took some instantaneous
photographs of these interesting big BIRDS
with their attitudes queer and quaint, as
well as some sketches. II was sight
well worth seeing in the morning when
some fifty birds were let out Of the pad
dock. where they had passed the night,
into the pasture or field. The whole troop
with wings outspread, their long white
plumes waving, Tustling, and almozt
whistling through the breeze they made
would race in body several times around
the field at a pace that would leave
good racehorse nowhere at the hnlsh.
This would invariably be followed by
some of the finest kicking 1 have ever
seen and by some very entertaining waltz
ing Some well aimed kicks would re-
sound here and there, but their powers
OF taking are quite equal TO their powers
OF giving, and l never saw one kicked In
to an invalid. When going amongst the
birds It is sometimes necessary to carry
a long forked stick, and If they should
show fight they are literally 'choked Off
by the application of the fork Of the stick
to their necks. Their diet Is varied by
rbnnnp1- npptg.
maize and alfalfa hay, cut up and well
moistened, and thus even small farm
of twenty acres, highly cultivated, can
well support one hundred ostriches. The
eggs are Matched in incubators, for though
the birds will set after laying fifteen
eggs, double that number Is obtained by
their removal to an incubator. The first
plucking from chicks six months old aver
ages $4 per bird at wholesale prices, af-
ter which the birds are plucked every
seven months; and the second puckng
averaging $3.50, the third and after $40,
until the birds are full grown, then the
annual proceeds from the feathers of an
ostrich are $35. Owing to some eggs being
unfertile, 1t is difficult to estimate the in
crease; but this might fairly be placed
at eight chicks n year from a pair. The
unfertile eggs are blown and have
ready sale at SIS and upwards dozen.
The admission fees of visitors to the os-
trich farm are another source Of profit
One man can do all the work on such a
twenty acre farm. but at pluming time
extra help is advisable. A duty of & per
cent. levied on raw feathers imported in
to the United States gives the ostrich
farmer there an additional advantage. -

A Rude Shook for an Athlete.

man who has seen his name in all

eight mime or an eleven, whose age,
weight and diet, girth about the
waist, biceps, muscles and hour of
going to bed are all matters of alb
sorbing public interest for length
of time, who is interviewed by the
ubiquitous reporter, photographed by
the snap shot camera fend and after
whose health gray bearded alumni
anxiously inquire when they meet
around the lunch table at Parker's-
of course it is little hard for him to
presently discover that he is no longer
famous and can walk the street with
out creating a sensation. But many
things are a little hard that are a
good deal salutary Distinction of
every kind is relative if not tempo
rary. This fact cannot be found out

Manuscripts in the Kairouin Library.
There can be no two opinions as to
the presence of a very large number
of ancient manuscripts in the Kai-
.rouin library, and these vOlumes-a
creditable thing for the lazy and in
dolent Moors-are certainly the OBJ
Jects of very great care. The trustees
OF the Kairouln have a regular staff
OF custOdians chosen from the uni
versity professors and teachers, who
are charged with the safe keeping of
the books, and the cellars are annu-
ally inspected and the books repaired
when the necessity arises. l should
say that, bar accidents of fire in the
future, when the library is thrown
open the manuscripts will be found
in q very fair state Of preservation.
Upon another point my informants
all agreed. They said that in the
library there are quite a number of
books written in strange, unknown
tongues. Generally, my genial Thol-
ba friends asserted, they We're writ
ten in Greek, but on my showing
them book III German they were
unanimously of opinion that this was
the language III which the volumes
We're written. So I am forced to the
conclusion that any writing which is
