The great success which has atten-
ded ostrich farming in Cape Colony.
has caused number of other
South African countries to take up the
Industry with great zest. This has
caused some uneasiness in Cape
Colony, as It is feared that there may
De an overproduction of low-quality
plumes. The market for high-grade
feathers Is capable Of expansion.
The export Of ostrich feathers from
Cape Colony has increased year after
year; 1t amounted last year to 1872 25
pounds, valued at $10,490.425. While
the Cape Gloomy farms contain about
100000 tame ostriches, there are but
10000 tame birds in all other coun-
tries combined. d.
At the present time ostrich farming
is carried on in Europe, Madagascar.
Argentina. Australia, New Zealand,
and In California, Arizona and Florida
The most dangerous rival to South
Africa In this respect will be the
United States.
1t is not easy to arrive at a just es-
innate of the value of ostrich feath-
ers annually imported into the United
States, on account Of Their being in
cluded with other feathers In many
cases. The direct imports from South

This is done at certain intervals

CARING FOR

Great Many Farmers Believe Fall
Is Proper Time to Trans

Plants.
CBy ANNA GALIGHER.)

The strawberry will stand a good
deal of Ill treatment, but 1t will not
produce good crops under the above
conditions.
Any good soil that will bring corn
or potatoes will do for strawberries,
but If you want berries the size of
hens eggs, put Che plants in the rich
est soil you can find and cultivate the
same as other garden crops.
II the soil is not rich enough with
out being fertilized, use well rotted
stable manure. Fresh manure will not
do, except as top dressing; after the
plants are well started, spread 1t be-
tween the rows.
II one can procure good, strong
plants in the fall and have them taken
up with a quantity of soil adhering
to the roots, they will bear a good
many berries the following season,
but not full crop
II transplanted in the fall without
any soil clinging to the roots, the
plants should not be allowed to bear
fruit the following season.
This is important, because when all
of the roots are dislodged 1t takes a
long time for the plant to recover
from the shock and form new roots.
None of the old ever takes a firm
hold in the ground unless new feeders
start and while the strawberry grows
or hibernates all winter, the growth Is
less rapid when the ground is cold
than It Is IN the spring and summer.
A great many people believe fall
is the proper time to set strawberry
plants.
They take up the plants or send
their order to some nurseryman, as
| the case may be, and handle the
plants just as they would In the
spring. Now. this Is all wrong.
The last week in October is about
the right time to transplant. or rather
transfer, strawberries
See that the soil is in good condi-
ton to receive the plants Plow or
spade It as deep as the soil will per-
NIT
II crop of potatoes has just been
removed from the ground. It should
not need much stirring.
Place the plants in rows about four
feet apart, and ten inches apart in the
rows. Rows may be either single or
double as preferred.
If the weather is dry a little water
should be poured around the roots
before filling In the soil.
Don't cover too deep because II the
