A SONG OF THE AGES.
American Version.
BY CHARLES IRWIN JuNkIN,

I'm Just a common workuran5
But I've got a word to say.
The country's getting richer
But IN poorer every day,
The Boss is storing honey.
Like the bees around the hive,
But | have got 10 hustle
Just 10 keep myself alive!
The Boss has lots OF capital,
And education, too,
The BOSS can do lot OF things
I don't know how 10 do.
But ne works hard and j Work nara
And so ! cannot see
Why he should gobble up the loaf
And leave the crumbs FOR me!
The Boss he runs his auto.
But the trolley does for me,
nv wife she does the washing
But his lady pours the tea,
His boys are all in college .
But mine are all at work,
His girl Is I'm society,
And mine Is Just clerk.
don't intend TO Kill the goose
That lays the golden egg,
/ don't Intend TO whimper
Or to stand around and beg.
But I'm waiting and I'm working
For the day that's sure 10 be
That brings "a fair division
To- the lads like you and me.
Cborust
Oh. There's barrels. barrels, barrels
Full OF money,
And the Boss Is plling up the
Golden Honey!
And IL makes me pretty sore,
For I want a little more.
And there ought TO be little
More for me,
For the wheels are always hum
And the better days are coming,
When Wen get fairer share
OF the earth and OF the air,
And the barrels will be full for

here. The birds are said by authori- ties to live to the age of from 70 to s5 years. having about the same life span as a human being. After the birds are a year old they are plucked once every eight months and Whey con- tinue to grow feathers of the finest quality until about the age of 50 years, after which they deteriorate. still pro ducing feathers but of a lower grade. Full grown birds average about S30 worth of feathers at a plpcking. It requires about twice as long to hatch an ostrich egg as it does an ordinary chicken. The eggs are considered as good eating by some though little strong. The meat of the ostrich is dark and almost as good as the dark meat of a turkey. providing it is not too old an ostrich. for ostriches, like men and turkeys. get tougher as they get older.
 He spoke of the small trouble of os- trich culture on a small scale, of its profits. of the certain market for all feathers that can be produced and said he would willingly advise any friend of his who had just a little capital to engage in that industry. as it of- fers almost certain assurance of suc- cess under ordinary conditions. He said the Pan American company this year raised about 1900 young chicks and none of them are for sale.
 Dr. Norton in discussing the live stock industry said that in a general way the livestock of the territory Is more free from disease than any state or territory he knows of. There Is no tuberculosis that he knows of among the cattle. Texas fever has been prac- tically eliminated, scabies have been eradicated from the sheep, glanders has broken out from time to time but has been thoroughly eradicated for some years past. Not only is the health of Arizona livestock good but the laws protecting it are good and 1t is proposed to keep them rigidly enforced. Tn that connection he spoke of the importing of livestock. espe- cially cattle and horses. That the territory may be kept free of diseases it is necessary previous to importa = tion to secure a certificate of cleanli- ness from the veterinarian in the state in which the shipment originates; otherwise the shipment will be held up at the boundary line until it is inspected by the territorial veterina- rian. This sometimes seems like a hardship but it Is the price of health for the livestock and is we'll worth the money.

SATURDAY LECTURES
 AT BOARD OF TRADE
The Ostrich Industry and HeaIthfui-
 ness of Arizona Livestock.

A goodly number of greatly inter- ested people attended the board of ! trade lectures yesterday afternoon, given by Dr. J. c. Norton on certain phases of the livestock industry. es-
 pecially the healthfulness of dairy cattle, and l.. H. Chalmers on the os- l trich industry.
 Mir. Chalmers Is associated with the operations of the Pan American Os- trich company, in this valley and has given the subject considerable study. both for business reasons and because it is an interesting thing to pursue
 He gave briefly the entire history of the ostrich industry of the world, from the time of it's beginning in Africa in
 1850. to the present day He told of the different kinds of ostriches and their natural habitats in eastern. cen tral and southern Africa and of the methods of culture on that continent, then of the history and culture in this country, drawing many comparisons that are favorable to the growth of the industry here.
 He said that in Africa land that will grow alfalfa for the raising of birds is valued as high as 5000 per acre and the results obtained are no better if as good as right here. On one oc- casion Mir Chalmers sent some Phoe- nix feathers to Africa and asked that Judgment be passed upon them. The reply was that the birds must be kept on alfalfa here for the medium grade feathers sent were as good as the high grade feathers grown in that section on alfalfa pastures.
 Mir. Chalmers in speaking of os- triches generally, told of what is nec- essary to raise them and how little is required tc engage in the business
