THE RAISING OF osrRlcHEs.
Five Farms. Now Carried on In the
United States.


Five Farms. Now Carried ON In the
United States.
There are now five ostrich farms In
the United states-two in California,
one in Texas, one in Florida, and one
in Arizona. The last named, although
the youngest, is the largest and most
ffourishing in the country. It is To-
Gated rear Phoenix, and the Salt river
valley seems well adapted to the At
fiean ostrich. No protection whatever
is required for the birds during the
winter, They craze the entire year in
the fields. the same as horses and cat
tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The
man in charge of the Arizona farm,
who spent Is years handling ostriehes
in South Africa, says the birds do just
as well in the Salt River valley as in
Africa, and that the climatic and other
conditions, surrounding them here seem
as we'll adapted to their requirements
as those existing in their native home.
After the birds attain the age OF four
weeks there is little danger; Of their
dying from natural causes for many
years. 1t is not positively known how
long an ostrich will live under normal
conditions, but there are birds On South
African farms which. are believed to
have reached or passed the century
mark, many of them having been in
captivity there over fifty years. Most
people have the idea, obtained, prob
ably, from their old Biographies when
they were children. that the female
ostrich, after laying her eggs in nest
seooped out of the desert sands, COW
efs themsup with the sand and leaves
them, trusting to the heat of the sun
to hatch them. This is not the fact.
The birds always pair off during the
/! breeding season, the male bird making
the nest by resting his breastbone on
the sand and turning slowly round and
round, scratching the sand away with
his feet until a shallow hole is made,
some three feet in diameter and about
a foot deep. The female then lays, usu-
ally, Is eggs, and the birds take turns
sitting on them, the female sitting
during the daytime and the male. at
night. except that the male allows the
female about an hour in the middle of
the day to feed, when he takes her
place on the nest.-Boston Herald.
