OSTRICH FARMING.
CALCUTTA, INDIA.

CALCUTTA, INDIA.
1t is pointed out by the press that
there are millions of acres Of land in
India well suited to ostrich farming,
and that the soil and climate Of these
vast tracts are as we'll adapted for this
husbandry as that of Africa or Egypt,
One journal says that ostrich farms
could be started on the edge of the In
dian desert, in Sind, and in Baluchis-
tan, which are at present poor and
unproductiye, because of barren soils
and scant and irregular rains 1t
would be hard to eXaggerate the bene-
fits that would result from the intro
duction of the new industry. The
tracts named would suit the birds,
The farming could be undertaken by
either European or native capitalists.
who would have no difficulty ii engag-
ing the services of trained men at the
same time that they purchased their
ostrich chicks or eggs.
The demand for ostrich feathers OF
high class is greater than the supply,
and the farmers of the Cape and
Egypt who give intelligence to the
raising of ostriches make large profits,
just as the ostrich farmers Of south
ern California have done. A com
parison of the soil, climate, and other
physical conditions of Africa and
Egypt, where the ostrich does well
with the same conditions in parts OF
| southern California, Arizona and New
| Mexico would suggest that there is
hardly a limit to ostrich husbandry In
America.

Y
Miss Eddie Miller Sparkman and Mr..
A. Karl SilvernaiI, both of Jackson
vile, were married at Starke Wednes-
day.

and Mr.. Warfield' Simpson, of Balti-
more, were the maid-of- honor and the
best man. There were no other at
tendants.
The bride who was recently grad
uated from the Duval high school,
wore the pretty gown worn on that
occasion. The dainty white silk was
trimmed with quantities of shirring
and hand work, with a touch Of beau
tiful lace.
Miss Rifles wore her commencement
gown also. 1t was charming crea-
ton Of white Paris muslin, trimmed
with quantities of German valencien-
nee lace. Her flowers were bridesmaids
roses.
Miss Sparkman, the pretty young
bride, decided to have her wedding at
Starke because the venerable clergy
man who has been devoted to her since
childhood, could not conveniently come
to Jacksonville, and her grandmother
lives at that place.
After their wedding trip to the
north, the young couple will return
to Jacksonville to reside.
Mr.. Silvernail is valued attache of
the Ludden- Campbell-S Smith Music
