~ EW people who watch the remark
III able performances on the track
at the Florida ostrich farm of
Oliver w. II, when the first exhibition
will be given will realize that an extra
ordinary amount of care and patience was
required in training the bird to go through
the exercise. The old oliver w. was well
known to Jacksonville people, and they
became so accustomed to seeing an ostrich
in harness performing the same duties
as a horse, both on the streets and at the
farm, that they overlooked the real oddly
that 1t represented.
The second Oliver W. had to be trained
to harness to take the place of the other
bird, which died suddenly last summer
at Wilnamsport N. Y, where the ostrich
driver, fortunately had taken another
bird along as a sort of understudy, and
he was able, by careful training, to
put the understudy in to perform the
same tricks as the old bird, thus being
enabled to fill out his dates for the rest
of the summer.
"Ostriches have different dispositions,
Just as people do, said Mr.. Cornell, land
il is most essential to be able to under
stand the birds in training them as
racers.
with the second Oliver w. was very
fortunate, as is evidenced by the fact
that the new racer has beaten the record
of the old bird by several seconds. The
record as made by Oliver w. II for half
mile is 1:12. This was made at Greene,
N. Y, when the bird was paced against a
horse.
ITO break in an ostrich to driving 1t
is necessary to get him first accustomed
to the Bride This bride is shaped some
what in the form of a dogs muzzle.
There is, of course, no bit. After the
bride has been left on the bird for several
days in his pen, the reins are attached,
making the headgcar thus complete, and
some time is. allowed to get the bird
accustomed to the extra weight Then
comes the hitching up of the ostrich to q
sulky. On account of the dangerous kick
ing propensities of an ostrich this is not
easy. An ostrichs kick is far more dan
gerous than that of a mule, and they
sometimes mutilate man frightfuly. By
exercising great care, however, we finally
get the bird biped into his harness, with
the vehicle attached.
1.-THE first inclination of the bird when
he feels this unusual impeachment to his
freedom is to make a break and dash
the vehicle and himself to pieces. For
that reason we attach very heavy
vehicle to him for the first few days,
and when he is taken out for his first
drive, for which we select wide open
piece of ground. three men are usually
put into the sulky. Try as he might,
the ostrich can't begin to run away with
this dead weight. and slowly we teach him
to move along steadily forward so that
he gradually becomes used to his new
duties and is not disposed to kick any
more 1t is then safe to risk him with
the racing sulky. which is very light
vehicle with rubber tires.
"A rather peculiar fact about driving
an ostrich is that he does not pull the
same way as his bride. In other words,

CONFEDERATE FLAG FOR s25.

From the Baltimore American.
One of the most interesting articles
considered historically, that were put ur
at yesterdays sale of the Grim collection
at the Fourth Regiment armory was an
old Confederate flag of the "Montgom-
cry" design. showing the seven stars OF
the original Confederate states. AS the
old banner, torn by bullets, faded and
bedimmed by age. was brought to the
auctioneer's stand and unfurled wave OF
enthusiasm spread through the hall. III
putting it up Auctioneer 0. A. kirkland
said that the flag was captured by Cap
tain Farber of the United States navy
prior to 1864 while in the blockade service
The first bid, SIS. which was offered, was
not contested, and the flag was knocked
down to the Smithsonian institute for
that sum.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Tobaeeo In AIabama 50 Years.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
I notice that you are calling at
tention to tobacco raising in Alabama
and state that Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture at Washington
has tested some Of the soil of Alabama
for this purpose, and that he finds some
parts Of the state admirably adapted to
tobacco culture.
l wish to say that more than fifty years
ago tobacco was raised In Alabama and
OF as fine a flavor as any ever produced
in Cuba.
In Talladega county my uncle, James
Mallory, cultivated tobacco when 1 was
boy. and know that the farmers
through that section made It part OF
their crops and It was successfully raised
1t was not extensively cultivated, being
only intended for home use, but smoked
cigars made from 1t and none that have
ever used exceeded in richness of flavor
what came from those Talladega patches.
have 1t from reliable sources that
Cuban seed produces as fine tobacco in
any portion of Southern Alabama as on
the native soil of Cuba, and my belief Is
that in almost any part OF Alabama this
would prove a profitable crop. and you
are rendering a service to the farming
interests of the state by calling attention
to this product and getting our farmers
to raise something else than cotton. Sec
rotary Wilson has made no new discov-
cry as think any old citizen of Alabama
who knows anything about farming win
confirm what l have said on this sub
Ject
Alabam soil in general will raise al
most all known products, and that too,
In as large yield as any other when prop
erly cultivated. This is the farmers para
disc, and there is no better ne1d on the
American continent for thrifty farmers
than exists right here in Alabama

cuiIman Strawberries.

"Culiman county has long been noted
for its choice strawberries, but the ber-
ries shipped from cullman this week
are larger and finer than ever seen be-
fore" said high liver.
Il doubt If any variety of strawberries
in any part of the United States can be
compared with the cullman product.
Fruit is sometimes cultivated for size at
the expense of flavor. Not so with the
strawberries. If Cullman berries continue
to increase in size it will not be many
years before they will be sold by the
piece and sliced up as peaches and pears.
One must have a very big mouth to eat
Cullman berry whole as it stands to-
day.

Lynchinu Statistics.

A New England paper makes this true
observation: THE most important fact,
perhaps, that is brought out in the eab-
crate statistics regarding lynching, which
have just been compiled by a post grad
uate student at Yale. is that there are
comparatively few lynchngs In states
where murderers are promptly tried, con-
vieted and sentenced"

Plant Pears.in Sod.

From Farmers Review: Wo have
found by experience that pears shou Id
always be- planted in stiff sod and not
even be mulched with straw. Coal
ashes may be put around them but never
spade around them, as not spading will
cause them to grow slower, but not
blight like those Of quicker growth. We
planted about rs pear trees some eight
or ten years ago. Those which we
planted in cultivated land are nearly all
dead. while those planted in stiff sod
have given more fruit than all the rest.
They blight but little, grow very slowly
and do not seem TO need cutting the
tops back. / think it is also q benefit
o, ver to trim them. except to cut out
dead branches, but those set in stiff sod
have scarcely any dead branches.-Mrs
L. G. Axtell.
