OSTRICH FARM IN CALIFORNIA.

The following, taken from the
Album of Pasadena, California, may
be of interest to the readers of the
CALIFORNIAN
"a mile and half from the center
on the borders of the Arroyo Sico be-
tween Devils Gate and town, is the
Pasadena ostrich farm where it is
proposed to establish a breeding
station and carry on the business.
A number of birds have been placed
here and as a new and growing in
dustrv the farm is well worthy
visit. Horses as a rule are terrified
by the birds and it is well for
drivers to bear this in mind. The
birds are valued at from $1,000 to
$1,000 apiece, a high export duty
being charged on both bird and
eggs. The big or full-grown birds
are plucked about once in seven
months, each wing producing twenty
five plumes valued at from So to
SIS a piece. Thus a hrst-class bird
may bring 1920 per year and if the
bird is female the value of the eggs
would have to be added to this,
SOOd OiC(dCI I'm ~
seventy-fve eggs year. The nest is
a mere depression in the sand
generally containing twelve eggs,
sometimes as many as sixteen. The
birds divide the duties, the hen sit
ting during the day and the cock at
night. Forty-two days are required
to complete the incubating process.
When first born the young chicks
resemble the English hedgehog more
than anything, being apparently
covered with spines. After thirty
days they are separated from the old
birds. The latter eat alfalfa; each
bird eating about forty pounds
daily besides corn, doura, cabbages,
turnips, broken shells, etc. A flock
of ten birds will eat in a year ninety
tons of food. Hens in laying time
lay every other day. Each egg tips
the scales at about four pounds and
measures eighteen inches in circum-
ference; so a good layer will lay
about three hundred and sixty pounds

THE WINDOWGARDEN

When once a plant begins to show
any signs of unhealthiness in the
winter window garden, it should be
at once be removed and kept away
from the others, for in respect Of con-
tagion plants for the most part are
like people and are readily affected
by surrounding conditions. The
best treatment usually is a severe
cutting back. and if the plant be a
large one, the soil usually will be
found impoverished. After cutting
back, repot in a smaller sized crock,
providing good drainage. Remove
all insects, should they be found, and
after washing the branches thor
oughly, the plant may be set back
with the others without injuring
their health but it must be kept quite
dry until signs of active new growth
are noticed, when the supply of
water may be increased. Occasion
ally, during the winter, but not
oftener than once d week, blooming
and growing plants may be greatly
benefited by a watering of weak
manure water, or ammonia water
in the event of the former not being
readily attainable. 1t is a great
mistake to apply such to plants
that are unhealthy or are resting

Tennyson on Spring.
We have the word of Alfred Tennyson
for it that in the spring the young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
1t is singular that the great laureate
omitted to mention the fact that it is in
the spring that a considerable portion
OF the human race turn to taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but the
difficulty of finding a good rhyme for
that invaluable remedy deferred him.
Certain it is that the old-time domestic
remedies are generally discarded in fav-
or of the standard blood purifier,
which has attained the greatest popu-
larlty all over the country as the favor
ite spring medicine. 1t purifes the blood
and gives nerve, mental, bodily and di-
gestive strength.

FARM POINTERS.

A cow that is poor mixer by
nature cannot be good mixer by
any amount Of feed or care.
The farmer should adapt his prod
ucts both in quality and quantity to
reach the customers that pay best.
A few barrel OF apples placed in the
cellar may be the means of keeping
the whole family in vigorous
health all winter.
The small, unmarketable potatoes
should be boiled, mashed and mixed
Don't allow anything to go to
waste.
1t is not economy to leave tools
and machinery exposed to the
weather, to let stock suffer from cold
nor to leave the corn fodder in the
field until it's feeding value is half
wasted.
Ifyou can't do anything else cart the
leaves and rubbish to some heap or
hole, and there let it rot naturally {;
then spread it over the ground
again.
Keep enough good stock to eat the
surplus feed Marketing in the form
of meat, the corn and other farm
products bring better profits, and
the fertility is returned to the
ground.
Hogs are very susceptible to
changes in the weather. This is
shown by their restlessness before
storms and their preparation of
warm beds before the approach of a
cold spell of weather in winter.
