ton offers many points OF interest. Chief
among them is the ostrich farm. which is
located one mile east of the city. Hero
may be seen oyer 100 South African
ostriches, living luxuriously and rowing
about over the hills, as much at ease as If
they were IN their own native land.
Farming for feathers is profitable busi-
ness. as has been demonstrated here. and
it is safe to predict that in few years
there will be several more ostrich farms
in the state. The birds are Of all ages and
sizes, from the little ones Just out of the
shells to the fuli-grown ones, many OF
which are now eighteen to twenty years
old. The birds are robbed of their rich
piumase every nine months. yielding
from SIS to 500 worth OF feathers at each
plucking. No difficulty is experienced in
finding ready market for the plumes.
Good improved land can still be secured at
from 5000 to $1,000 per acre according to
Improvements and location. and there
are hundreds of acres OF land in the Full
lerton district that will yield handsome
returns on an investment OF $1,000 per
acre. Unimproved land may be secured
at from $50 to $3.50 per acre.
