But as it was in Tokyo we decided

they were going the same way they

him In true Japanese style while he
was In Toyko. Thus he got chance
to try Japanese bed. bath and Jap

that he could talk OF nothing else from
then until leaving.

farming. A generation or so ago nearly
all our feathers came from wild birds.
They were hunted with dogs and guns,
and were often captured In pitfalls.
Then along about so years ago some
young ostriches were tanned by a
South African and ostrich breeding
began. AS far back as 1865 there were
only eight tame ostriches in the
world. A few years latter the Gus
tom of Matching the eggs in incu-
bators began, and in 1876 the number
OF tame birds here had increased to
over 10000. Still later came the
great ostrich boom, and In 1882 the
feathers were sold at $40 and upward
pound. and people came from every
where to South Africa 10 engage in
the business OF producing them. At
that time the average price OF 81
pair OF birds was 1919. and some
sold for $1,000 and more Only about
hair as many ostrich feathers were
then exported as now. and they sold
for more than s5.000,d00.
As the business increased the
farmers learned how to raise ostri-
ches on less and less land At the
start tho birds were allowed To run
IN camps of from 1000 to 1000
acres, and 30 acres was allowed for
each. This Is still the case on the great
plateaus, known ns the karoo, but
there are now farms nbou; Ondts-
hoorn. and elsewhere, where two
ostriches are kept on one acre, and
where they arc fed like fine stock, so
much grass and other food being al
lowed to each per day.
FED ON ALFALFA.
1t has been recently found iha. a
great deal of money can be made in
raising ostrlches on alfalfa or lucern,
and especially SO where that crop can
be raised on irrigated lands. have
estimates showing that five ostrlchos
have been kept In this way on one acre,
and that they have yielded feathers to
the amount Of SIS or s35 per ostrich pcr
year This means that one acre OF
land brings In something like $50 or
more per anntlIn. and that from so
acres q man can make from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year.
On all such farms the ostrichcs are
kept in small fields. The usual paddock
liz an acre with a wire fence about it.

Eyes; know Albert isn't handsome

That was what Martha Day Greiner
Of Denver said about Albert Charles
Dickinson OF the same place.
Albert's face is as homely as that OF
Abraham Lincoln.
Nevertheless Martha is in love with
him. Dan Cupid, who shoots at hearts
regardless of exteriors, fatally wound
ed both Martha and Albert.
So that when Papa Greiner objected
that Albert was entirely too ugly to
be his son-in-law Martha replied by
clipping with Albert to Chicago.
Greiner followed, and there was a
scene The couple were arrested Mar
tina pleaded for Albert, and Greiner
finally consented il they would all re-
turn home the wedding might proceed.
Interviewed by reporter. Martha
said:
st know he isn't handsome. Fa-
Tiers objection is that Albert has red
hair, but that is not his fault He
may not be good looking. but he has
winning ways"
| Good for you, Martha!

to Chicago.
