Ostrich Farms.

Ostrich farmers who rushed into the
business q few years ago when it was
first doomed have found that it is not
all their fancy painted. Instead of be-
coming multi -millionaires in few
years. many of them have not paid ex-
penses; others have made little
money, but less than the same amount
of capital and labor would have
brought them in almost any other
business.
The great mistake was the failure te
realize that the ostrich, being still
wild, could not successfully be sub
jected to the same treatment and con.
ditions under which domesticated ami
mails an 1 birds will thrive. In cou-
linement they multiply but slowly
an1 produce feathers of an inferior
grade, while their vicious instincts
are still SO strong that it is often i'm.
possible to remove the feathers with
out killing the bird. To make the
business the success expected it is
necessary to gain more experience in
the proper management of the os-
triches, and by a careful course OF
breeding to eradicate or tame down
the wild nature SO that they may be
approached and handled in compare.
tive safety. Ostrich farms will doubt
less eventually prove a success. not
only in California, but in Florida and
Texas, but they cannot be made so in
year or two. Time, patience and skill
are even more requisite in this than
in other branches OF farming. New

Novel Advertising Scheme.

A novel scheme of advertising is
accomplished by means of the tricycle..
A French inventor is using the ma
chine for printing various trade state
ments on the pavements of Paris. This
feat is accomplished by means of i'm
mense types set into the tire of the
hind wheels of the machine. Ink is
used in the printing and the type is
made of rubber. Each rabber type
is Independently inserted in the wheel
SO that it can be removed and other
type inserted. Thus the machine can
be made to print any sentence whose
length is not longer than the circum-
ference of the wheel.
A reservoir, or fountain of ink is
situated back of the seat and flows to
rollers, which bear on the top of the
wheels. Then as the latter roll around
the ink is conveyed to the pavement
and the impression of the letters is
left there. While the streets of Paris
are traditionally clean, yet there is al
ways enough dust which would be
caught up by the ink-faced type, a
condition which would result very
soon in the clogging of the machine.
To prevent this little blower. or bel
lows, is placed in front of each wheel,
and as the machine moves it elects
wind enough to blow away all dust
Immediately in line with the wheel.
The machine was shown at recent
exhibition of bicycles in Paris. st.

adding different favors to each of the
