ostrich farms at Coronado and FalbroOk,
Cal. The original birds. % in number.
which were the nucleus of the present
farms, were brought by Mr.. johnson
from Africa in 1888. The 27 birds now
at the Midway were artificially Matched
by the Petaluma incubator. In their pa-
tive wilds the period of incubation is ~
days, but in California the time has been
shortened to 40 days. Mating usually
takes place when the hen is / and the
cock five years old, at which age they
reach maturity. The nest which they
scoop out for themselves in the loose
sand, is some four feet in diameter and
ten inches deep in the centre. One egg
is deposited every alternate day for a
fortnight, or perhaps a month. Every
egg is carefully turned each day to Sc
cure a perfect condition of the embryo.
At6 months of age the chick is first
plucked, but the plumes are then of little
commercial value, and are called spadOn-
as; the plucking is continued at inter-
walls of months, the feathers attaining
their highest perfection when the bird
reaches maturity. Twenty-six plumes
in each wing are protected by floss feath-
err underneath, and three rows of feath-
ers above; the first row above the
plumes vary i'll color in the sexes, being
black in the hen. Besides the wing
feathers those of the tail are also taken.
and an average bird yields II pounds at
picking. The attendants make the os-
triches show off their speed at the rate
of mile in 1.30. They are classed by
natuTalists as ''struthio camelus" (camel
bird), and their food is about like that of
our domestic animals, while the Casso-
wary of New Zealand, the Emu of Aus
tralia and the Thea of South America
are said to be carniverous.

The Malone Palladium states that the
great lumber concerns in the southwest
ern towns of Franklin county will reduce
the wages of common laborers in the
woods $4 Ler month this fall below
those paid last winter, and the pay for
team work proportionately. Many of
the mills have large stocks on hand and
orders are few, hence there is likely to
be also considerable reduction of en-
ploymeut. The lumber manufacturers
look for a serious reduction or complete
repeal of the duty on lumber next win
ter, and are preparing for it.
