VALUES OF THE OSTRICH,
Full Grown One Worth $500, the Euqs
Are Worth S25,

Arthur G. Hummer of Los Angeles
says ostrich eggs are worth $25. The
chicks are only worth $50. The full.
grown ostrich is worth $500 to $500.
The average pluck is about one pound,
and is worth, on an average, about $50.
The best ostrich feathers come from
the Levant and the north and west
coasts Of Africa Southern California
and Arizona have ostrich farms. The
American ostrich is only about half
the size of the African bird and its
feathers and eggs bring much less.
London sets the price on ostrich
feathers which, when the bird is four
years old, bring as high as 800 per
pound, the poorer grades selling as
low as $50. The eggs vary in value
from $40 to $25. Diseases cause about
third of the chicks to die in this
country.
