OSTRICH FARMS.
Plenty of Hard Work and But Little
IA Money in the Business.

Plenty of Hard Work and But Little
IS Money in the Business.
Ostrich farmers who rushed into
the business few years ago when it.
was first doomed have found that. it
is not all their fancy painted. In@
stead Of Becoming m1lti-millionaires,
in few years, many Of them have
not paid expenses, others have made
aelittle money, but less then the
same amount Of capital and labor
would have brought them in almost
any other business.
The great mistake was the failure
to realize that the ostrich, being
still wild, could not successfully be
subjected to the same treatment and
conditions under which domesticated
animals and birds will thrive, In
confinement they multiply but slow
" and produce feathers of an IN
terror grade, while their vicious in.
stincts are still so strong that it is
often impossible to remove the
feathers without killing the bird.
To make the business the success
expected 1t is necessary to gain more
experience IN the, proper manage
ment Of the qstriches. and by care
full course of bresdinR to eradicate
or Lme down the wild nature so
thatthey may be approached and
handled in comparative safety, Os-
trich farms will doubtless eventual
ly prove a success, not only in CALI
fornia, but In Florida and Texas, but
they cannot be made so in q year or
two" Time, patience and skill. are

Mt. Clemens is u nice little city OF
some 5000 population, situated on
either side OF the Clinton river. some
twenty miles north of Detroit and
two miles inland from LakeSt. Clair.
Its an old place, it's settlement dat
ing back to 1881. To the credit OF
it's early settlers the streets have
been made beautiful by the planting
OF shade trees (maple) along every
street in the city, making such fine
shades and pleasant walks that the
stranger ia at once taken with it, as
it adds>so much to his comfort and
pleasure. Al this writing an electric
line is nearly completed, connecting
this place with Detroit, upon which
trains will be run every thi, ty mill
uts. This undoubtedly will have Il
tendency to bring many visitors
from Detroit and Windsor. An
other of the many pleasant ways OF
enjoyment here is the frequent excur-
sions made down the Clinton river
to Lake St. Clair; also to the var
ious club houses and islands near
the government works on St. Clair
flats. The sail is always enjoyable
and the cool lake breezes are refresh
ing in the hottest weather. In the
lake, near the mouth Of the river,
the fishing ia good; SO are the stories
told by some Of the visitors OF the

the American side, the st. Clair river,
for some miles above the jetties,

land or a succession of small islands,
is lined with hotels, club houses, Cot
tages, boat houses and bathing
houses. This is called the Venice of
