Ost,lches come TO maturity when
about four years of age. The female

lay a fertile egg until she is three and
one-half years old. The nest is a
round hole in the ground, which the
male scoops out with his feet. At
first the female may not take to the
nest, but may lay her first eggs on
the ground, whereupOn the male will
roll them into the nest Generally,
after the male has put three or four
lay there. In about 30 days she will
lay IL to 16 eggs and will be ready
to commence incubation.
Incubation under domesticatiOn is
carried on in two ways-by natural
and by artificial means. Some grow
ers prefer the former method, others
the latter. Either has been found to
yield satisfactory results with fertile
eggs. About AZ days of very careful
attention are required for good re-
suits.

so readily seen in daylight.
The ostrich is plucked the first time
when six months old, and should be
plucked about every eight months
thereafter during its lifetime. The
only feathers removed are those of
the wing and the tail. The process of
plucking consists in cutting the tail
feathers and one row of the largest
quill feathers in the wing with pruning
shears. and drawing by hand those of
the remaining two or three rows in
the wing. Two months later the quilts
of the cut feathers may be removed. Il.

CHARGES FALL
TO THE GROUND
PoStoffiCe Department De-
CIineS to Order Investigation
of Postmaster Thomas.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, April 27.-There is no
undue excitement in the postoffice de-
partment over the affairs of the Salt
Lake City pOstofice. An investigation
of the office has not been ordered by
the postmaster general; no investiga-
ton of Postmaster Thomas is in pro-
gress, and none has been ordered.
Charges have been fled by an en-
ploye Of a salt Lake newspaper against
two postoffice inspectors. and an inves-
LEGATION of these charges has been
ordered by Chief Postoffice Inspector
Vickery, and a full examination of
them will be made by an inspector not
connected in any way with local per-
sons, which is the usual course Of pro-
cedure in such cases.
1t was stated at the postoffice de-
partment today that no inspector has
been asked to resign on account of
charges filed, and none had resigned
on account of those charges. Inspec-
tor II. NJ. EllweH rendered his resig-
nation several weeks ago, and before
the recent Salt Lake charges were
filed, to go into effect April Il. This
resignation was accepted, and EllWell
was recommended by the inspectors
department for his former place in the
railway mail service. He was a new
inspector, serving a probationary six
months term, and was not making
good. He was apparently conscious of
this fact, and resigned to go back to
the railway mail service. If the
charges filed against him by the Salt
Lake newspaper are found to be true
he will not be permitted to enter the
postal service
1t was stated at the department to-
day that the investigation of Postmas-
ter Thomas when his appointment and
confirmation were recently held up sat
iSfed the department that the COM
plants against him were wholly I'M
founded and evidently were inspired
by malice. Unless charges should be
made by a more reliable source than
on the previous occasion the depart
ment will not consider them.
