lCalifornia have had forty chicks in
one year, but 1t is believed to be
more than the Seattle climate will
produce.
Unwearied in fabrication this
nothern Munchausen goes on to say;
AS the eggs are worth from 500
to 1925 a piece and the young birds
from $500 to $1,000, the Seattle
ostrich farm will represent a good
value when well under way" Well,
1t will be long time under weigh,
for California ostrich eggs, fresh
and newlaid are worth six dollars
each and at that price sold to the
cooks of these palatial hotels that
dot this bailiwick and feed so many
silk underwear-covered American
tourists. Ostrich chicks just emerg-
Ing from their shells are sold all
over Arizona and California at $25
each; no egg shell is of more value
than a chick 1t contains; therefore
the statement that eggs are worth
$125 is a northern dream created
for the purpose of matching the wild
scenery OF the northern mountains,
covered as they are with immense
redwood trees and saturated with
wet. Somebody better posted in
ostrich lore had better post the
northern press and thus prevent
bona fide and disinterested people
being deceived; for the magnifying
and multiplying of lies by the press
creates so much error that much
time is lost in correcting.
And the last yarn printed in the
paper of this northern newspaper
man says: "The birds produce on
an average about one and one half
pounds of feathers year, with a
value of $3.50 pound" British
domestlcated ostriches establish the
value of ostrich feathers the world
over; these are from little to about
a hundred dollars pound; each
ostrich will yield about thirty-five
dollars worth per annum; thus is
the stufiing taken out OF that state
ment and the public mind corrected.
But the gullible reporter In Wash
ngton Territory will be rewarded
somehow, while the experienced
ostrich farmer In California, who
,orrects the error made by the
Yahoo reporter. based on an expert
ence, of years, will hardly receive
he thanks OF the community or any
,ody else.

ters, producing after their kind
both chicks and feathers and at the
same time forming a holy show for
the wellfed American tourists con-
itinually loafing through the New
Palestine. 1t has proved, however,
at the expense of feather quality,
for II cannot be expected that os-
triches immured for FIVE years in a
space fifty feet by fifty can produce
such fine plumage as those feeting
centaurs continually travelling across
the African deserts. One of the
California farmers, finding this, pur-
chased two hundred acres of adobe
land and set up a breeding ostrich
farm as well as his show institution.
Various misstatements occur in
the newspaper reports from the
north that the farmers here feel 1t
their duty to correct, In justice to
themselves as well as to the credul-
Gus newspaper and other public. For
instance the following. "Some idea
can be obtained of the coast of
starting such an enterprise when 1t
Is known that the birds are the best
that could be obtained and cost from
$500 to $4,000 apiece;" "the best
that could be obtained" necessarily
under the state of the art must come
from California;; but ostriches of
adult age and full size in California
are worth three hundred dollars
pair, not two thousand dollars each.
Somebody has been lying. Thirty
eight oStriches at that price or
little less have recently been pur-
chased by new Los Angeles
ostrich farm and are now vegetatlng
on the outskirts OF the city. But
this is only one of the side steps
from the narrow paths of truth that
New England people, for instance,
love so we'll. The writer appears to
have been as reckless as a circus
poster in regard to veracity, but as
he is advertising a show this must
be excused.
Another strange statement ex-
tremely sangulne; vory amusing to
practical ostrich farmers in Cali
fornia at is estimated that with
local conditions the flock will in
crease at the rate of about ninety
birds a year." this Is faster than

The Farmers Institute.

A great deal of interest was mani
tested in the farmers institute held
here last week, all Of its sessions be-
ing largely attended, the day SEES
sions principally by farmers of the
vicinity. Mr.. Scott proved him
self to be an excellent conductor, Sc
curing the accomplishment of
large amount of work in the time
given to the several topics under dis
cussion. The speakers were all spec
ialists in that branch Of agricultural
industry upon which they spoke.
Mr.. McKerrow, the Superintendent
of Farmers Institutes was present
on Friday and gave interesting and
most profitable talks on Sheep and
Good Feeding. Superintendent
McKerrow is a practical farmer of
long experience and modern, scien-
tifc methods. In addition to his
farming experience he has studied
conditions all over the United
States, in Canada, and England
and for IS years, we believe, he
has been the leading spirit in
farmers Institutes. He is very
entertaining speaker and he knows
what he is talking about and talks
about what he knows.
Mr.. Martiny gave an instructive
address on the raising of hogs, tell
ing of their diseases, the remedy,
care and feeding, when to market,
etc.
The discussions on Thursday
were SAID by those who were at the
sessions to have been equally as
profitable as those on Friday.
A large number of the residents
of the city attended the Thursday
evening session which was mostly
appropriated by representatives of
the Normal school. Pupils Of the
Model Grades gave some very cred
liable exhibitions of class drill and
Mrs. Truesdell highly entertained
the audience with some fine reading.
