HOME OF THE WORLDS FAIR osrR1cHEs.

G. G. FRIENDS: In recent magazine article de-
scripive of that portion OF The NJ ords Fair known
the Midway Plaisance. mention was made OF
the ostrich exhibit from Mr.. Joiinson's ranch in
this County.
Perhaps some of you who have visited the exhibit
in its picturesque surroundings. well as these
who have not. may be interested in hearing of the
birds in their California home. which l. not more
than Is miles from here. il Is known rs the Mt.
Fairvew Ostrich Farm. and has been loca iy de-

Looking closer that in these Enclosures
ostriches OF various sizes.
On reaching the h"u-e the visitors pay an ad-
mission fee. which entities them to everything
connected with ostrich raising; and the first step
is a visit to The old adobe building whore tile incu-
bators kept.
Here the guide opens drawer In one OF the In
cubators aud shows tho great creamy eggs
therein and then explains the action of the liier-
mOmeter by which the heat from the lamp Is regu-
lated mechanically.
The ostrich, eggs are from Is 10 IS inches In cir
cunifereHce. and weigh about three pounds; the
period OF Incubation varies from 35 10 AZ hys and
the newly. matched bird is about the size of full
grown hen of the breeds of poultry.
Leaving the haichtng-r"om we see the yonng
ostrctes In some Of the pens. while in others
pairs OF the old birds. A fuli-grown ostrich is
about nine feet in hight weighs 200 pound-, aud il
very strong. / law one kick a heavy fence board
with such force that the board wa- shattered.
1t is 10 years since the parent birds were brought
from Africa. They were taken first To New Or

They seem to have taken very kindly to their

said were valued st $500 per pair.

Do not neglect the feeding value Of your
straw. In these hard times it is the economy
which you practice in such matters which
marks the line between profit and loss. Get ali
of it that you can under cover, and feed it
there, for in that way you will get much more
good from it than if the cattle help themselves
from the frozen stack in a muddy barByard.
The ost straw is more valuable than the wheat
straw for feeding, and so IL you have room for
only one under cover let 1t be that Do not try to
fatten your cattle wholly on this. however, for
you cannot do it, nor can you keep milch cows
up to full flow on such diet only. Use
it judiciously in connection with grain and
roots, and it will help you to eeOnomizs in the
cost of feeding. Do not expect it to do more
than this.

Both young and old fruit trees are benefited
if the ground is dressed with manure broad
cast, extending as far on each side as the hight
of the tree. However, caution is necessary in
applying the manure. Do not place it too close
to the tree or pile it about the trunk. as this
invites the attack of mice and furnishes har-
Dor for many injurious insects; besides, it is Of
little benefit to the tree, the roots which take
up the larger part of the food Of the tree, are
some little distance from the trunk. 1t is the
best plan to leave circle Of foot or over
about the stem, and. better still, have the
ground near the tree slightly raised to prevent
the manure from coming in contact with the
bark.
When barnyard manure cannot be had tbs
rakings from the lawn and garden make good
muching for young trees. protecting the
ground from the severest freezing. If the
trimmings from svergreens can be had they are
quite useful il keeping the other material in
place, besides furnishing some protection them

1t has long been known that II a ring Of bark
be taken from branch IL will cause that branch
to premsturely bear fruit. But that branch
usually dies soon. The ring may not be taken
completely around. that is to say. connection
between the bark above the ringed portion and
below the ringed portion remains. In this case.
the part above the girdled portion does not die,
but is brought into fruitfulness, which con-
tinues for several years. This has been en-
ployed IS a matter of curiosity, as il is usually
considered that the quality of the fruit is
impaired by this procedure. Certainly in
grapes, the fruit produced after girdling is net
nearly rs sweet or in any way as much appre-
ciated, with the single exception of size. as in
cases where the girdling process had not been
attempted; but in the orange culture in Florida,
it is stated that this girdling is becoming part
of general practice, and perhaps this may ac-
count for the enormously large increase Of sour
instead of sweet oranges which is being poured

THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD.
DEAR @. g. AND GUARDS: From observation and
experience. cannot agree with Sister EVA T. Pryor
in regard to children in home. 1t is not consist
ent to think that God. who is the embodiment of
love- would create people and have his plans to
perpetuate the race set at naught.
Where children do not bring happiness, IL Is the
sequence OF failure on the part OF the parents In
complying with the divine law in the support and
training of the children.
Neither can think the mother of large family
necessarily a slave. II she does her part we'll she
teaches the children to work and thus ghteBs her
labor. Aud in doing this, she 10 sowing the seed OF
industry, which. if properly nuriurcd, will bring
forth a useful life A mothers labor is one of love.
and mother whose life is the most active in
thought and deed for her children is the whose
web of life Is the most pleRsi K to behold.
Some of the brightest lights in the galaxy of
human greatness were reared in humble homes
proving the fact that their minds were not dwarfed
by their surroundings. ...H .s.
