nights, sometimes forty-five, of per-
sistent setting to hatch a brood of the

the theory that an ostrich can digest
anything is correct, even to spectacles
and lighted cigars, as they are pecu-
liarly attracted by anything bright.
This is because when once an ostrich
pecks at anything and gets it in his
mouth, it slips down that long uncon-
trollable neck and is fur ther gone than
was Jonah in the whale. The diges-
tion of the ostrich, however, gives its
owners much trouble as it will not
thrive on it's feed of cut hay, corn,
bran and wheat unless some fruit is
added to its daily diet or medicinal
food can be given it.
