ed IN Ca1fOTnla- especially me one near
I Pasadena, where they have about sew
enty-five birds, and just before l got
there had shipped a couple of carloads to
another part Of the state. Apparently
there is money in the ostrich raising bust
[ ness also. In the first place the owners
levy an assessment Of twO-bits apiece
upon everyone who visits the place then
feathers fetch good price and the eggs
are sold for 81 apiece. a hen ostrich lays
from thirteen TO sixteen eggs and the pair
take it turn and turn about to sit on the
eggs if allowed 50 to do, but in most
cases the chicks are Matched by means
of an incubator. During the breeding sea-
son the birds are very vicious and do not
hesitate TO attack man who ventures
within their enclosure. Contrary to most
ideas an ostrich does not use his beak as
: a means Of ohense, but simply lets drive
with his formidable claw in an outward
direction from the front and then down
with the rapidly or creased lightning.
An ostrich can kick more rapidly and
with about the same force as a Virginia
mule; he is a biped TO be viewed from
the other side Of a good hi gh stiff fence. -
