The early attempt met with varying
degrees of success. The pioneer
breeders in this country had to get
most of their knowledge from their
own experience. In fact, more than
half the ostriches now I'm the United
States are the progeny of q single
pair owned in Arizona in 1891.
At plucking time the ostriches are
driven in from the pasture and placed
In small pen surrounded by tight
board fence five or six feet high. The
plucking box is about four feet high,
twenty inches wide, and three feet
long, opened at one end and closed
with a door at the other. An ostrich
is caught and hood placed over its
head. An old black stocking makes a
very good hood. The hooded bird IS
very easily handled. 1t is placed in
the plucking box with it's head toward
the door. The plucker stands behind
while removing the feathers. This is
necessary, because the ostrich kicks
or strikes very hard, but always out
in front and never behind.
Manufacturers in this country usual
ly request that the feathers be graded
as nearly as possible as they are in
the London market, where nearly all
the feathers of the world are mar
keted. A London report shows the
following classification: White, femia,
bayocks, black, drabs, floss, spadones
and boos, with numerous subdivisions
and grades
The value of the American feathers
depends on the London market. In an
American factory they bring 10 per
cent. more than the London price plus
the freight charges In October white
primes and blood feathers"-the most
valuable-sold in London for STAG per
pound. 1t takes ninety of these feath-
ers TO weigh a pound. The white
prime" and blood feathers" are taken
from the males, as well as most of
the white firsts," though occasionally
female bird will have what the
feather men call a first white" The
black feathers are plucked from the
male bird, and the drab from the fe-
male. "Spadones" are chick feathers,
the first plucking. "Boos" are tail
feathers. "Bayocks" come mostly from
the male birds. The shortest drab
feathers, which are frequently used In
making feather busters, are worth 81
per pound An average ostrich will
yield one and one-half pounds an
nually.

PROFIT IN OSTRICH FARMING
Industry In United States Only In Its
infancy, but Promises to BE
Successful.

Flagstaff. Ariz.-"Does ostrich farm
ing pay" This question is asked by
almost everyone who visits an ostrich
farm. When an acre OF alfalfa will
furnish a home for four birds, with
food enough to maintain them; when
an ostrich will yield annually one and
one-half pounds of feathers. with an
average value of $40 pound, and
from thirty-six to ninety eggs, which
may be used for incubation, or may
furnish food at the rate Of three and
one-half pounds each IL the owner
doesn't wish to increase his troop, one
may be left to Judge as to the profit
ableness of the industry.
Ostrich farming In the United States
is only In its infancy. 1t has been
only twenty-three years since the first
American ostrich farm was started.
