OSTRICH FARMING
 IN UNITED STATES Americans Are Greatest Users
 ofOStrich Fumes BUSINESS IS PROFITABLE Requires Considerable Capital and Much Patience, But the Returns
 Are Reasonably sure-5ig
 Imports Every Year.
BUSINESS IS PROFITABLE
BY FREDERIC J. HAsklN.

The people of the United States are the largest users of ostrich plumes in the world. The annual importation represents more than two and a quarter million dol lars, while the annual crop produced in the United States is worth about a hun dred thousand dollars. The margin of over two millions shows how much of a market there is for the plumes. Ostrich farming in this country is confined to a few places in California, Arizona, Florida and Arkonsas, although the ostrich will thrive in any of the southern states and territories. The largest and ugliest of birds is not easy to raise and care for, but the pioneers In the business, especial ly the South African farmers, have made so many experiments that all the pitfalls have been marked out and the novice need have no fear. The ostrich farmer requires some capital, much patience, and 8 sweet temper to begin with If he has these qualities in sufficient quantities and swings to 1t, he will make plenty of money.

 Notes of Comment.
 Professor Richardson, who holds the chair of science, will do summer work in the Chicago university, as he has for the past four years, and the others will be elsewhere seeking to fit themselves in the best manner to carry on their work of next year.
 Dr. Ward of Cuba, Ala, was an in terested visitor to commencement. He brought with him his son and another lad that they might get the run of things before entering College next year.
 Rev. Frank Seay is here. He is an alumnus of whom the university Is proud. being the youngest A. M. graduate the Southern university has ever had. He did university work in Germany last year.
 Bruce McGehee and Paul McGehee were visitors to Greensboro this week. They both. graduated with high honors a year or two ago.
 Taking it all in all, this has been a bright year in the history of the college, and its friends feel sure long and bril- liant future awaits 1t.

of the cut quills become ripe" and are easily pulled out to make way for the new feathers. An average ostrich will furnish one and half pounds of feathers year, worth from S4 to S16O pound. The birds are worth about $500 a pair when full grown and mated.
 There are now many farms in Cali fornia, where the business has proved d profitable one, and others are being es- tablished in various southwestern states. The Salt River, Ariz., ostrich farm has nearly 2000 birds and markets over $50 900 worth of feathers a year. The Jackson vile, Fla, farms, and the- Arkansas farms are rapidly increasing their stock of birds, and it Is the testimony of the farmers that each year solves difficulties which have stood in the way of rapid de- velopment. The ostrich farmers predict that within ten years the American out put will be large enough to supply the home market with all the feathers ard plumesAit requires.
 The ostrich is a timd bird, easily fright ened and easily excited. When excited or angered, he Is a dangerous antagonist, because he is strong enough to kill a man with one kick of his powerful leg. Fortunately, he can kick but one way, forward, and a man directly behind him is safe. When they are plucked a hood Is thrown over their heads, they are led into plucling box which confines them to small space, and the plucker stands directly behind them.
 Birds that have come from an incubator and have been raised where men and women are constantly among them, be- come quite amenable. It is such birds that are taken to geological gardens and trained to draw sulkies or carry passen- gers "bird-hack." Two ostriches htched to sulky will carry 1t along at won derful rate of speed, and may be guided with some degree of certainty When go- ing at full speed the ostrich takes a stride of from twenty-two to twenty eight feet. The imprint of his two toes is hard to see unless the ground Is very soft, and for this reason birds escaping from a kraal are very hard to track.
 Even the best friends of the ostrich ad- init that he has very little intelligence. His head is so little and flat that there Is no room for his brains. It is said that he never appears to be intelligent, except for a few weeks after he is first matched He will eat anything on earth, and he likes to waltz for~a diversion. But tine farmers interest in him lies in the fact that he is individually the most valu- able of birds, and his feathers are the most beautiful and precious known to man.

pr. Hosmer's Address.

Dr.. Hosmer's Address.
 Dr. Hosmer's baccalaureate address was a most impressive one. He said this was a record breaking class in good many respects. Two of the num- Der would work in foreign field, MT. Lazenby and Mir. Williams. and two of them will enter Vanderbilt next year He urged the boys to remember their indebtedness to their alma mater. At the close of his remarks many of the visiting trustees and preachers took part in what Dr. Frazier, president of the board of trustees, called an experience meeting. Rev. O. c. McGehee, pastor of Court Street Montgomery, made most stirring little speech. as follows:
 T am sure this audience will be glad to hear of success from any portion of the educational field. I bring you news from our capital city, Montgomery. The commission representing the two Ala | bama conferences have secured fifty eight acres of land. comprising one of | the most beautiful sites to be found any where, for our womans college and on this site Montgomery has put $500o0. The tide of enthusiasm for this institution seems high and we hope to see a mag nificent plant on this choice spot in the near future.
 While you rejocie in the success of all Alabama Methodsm, l am sure you rejoice more in the success of this the Southern university. located here in your town. As I was boarding the train in Selma this morning to come here, I met young man just from Greensboro, who gave a glowing account of your com mencement and since my arrival and after looking over the ground, hearing the graduating exercises etc, l am con- vinced that the young mans report was correct one. I am reminded of Uncle Rufus Sanders visit when a boy to the home of his Aunt Nancy. After Ru- fus had sat down to his aunts table grooming with all things good to eat he remarked: Well. see my Aunt Nancy ain't gone no where! Ladies and gen tlemen as I looked over this magnificent audience and listened to the programme rendered. I felt sure that our Aunt Nan cy the Southern university. an't gone nowhere, and is not likely to soon. want every one of you as you go over the state to tell everybody that Aunt Nancy Is keeping house and is still fur nishing the best of fare.
