Different individuals vary greatly in their egg yield. which would naturally be expected birds domesticated for only such short time, they have been raised in large enough numbers to al low much selection. The value of ostrich for matching compared to their value for human sumption has a tendency to make tine owner use all the eggs incubation. If eggs removed the fast they are laid. the ostrich female will lay more than one clutch or eggs Records of yields of 100 in year have been recorded but data regarding the average yield is and unsatisfactory. The average egg yield in coun- try, where eggs matched by artificial methods. much below this figure probably not 55 eggs year. An ostrich egg weighs about 31a pounds and would contain much food 214 dozens hens of average size. As the female begins to lay when from three to four years of age and will lay until she is 35 years old, the production of egg material during her life is enormous, provided comes from a good producing strain.
 "Ostriches pastured alfalfa enclosed by fences 5I3 feet high One of alfalfa will sup port four ostriches but the practice is to supplement the pasture by feeding grain throughout the year. thus keeping birds acre, and to feed grain and alfalfa hay during the winter.
 PLUcKING
 "The young birds plucked when they six months old and then intervals of from eight to eleven months. The majority of breeders allow a months interval. which time appears suited the production of the best quality of feathers this country.
 FUTURE OF INDUSTRY
 "The demand ostrich feathers in this country is constantly increasing, while the quantity produced scarcely mportations which are steadily in- creasing The report of Commerce and Navigation for 19OS prepared by the Bureau Statistics Department of Commerce and Labor shows that s. 56S,152 worth of raw and dressed feathers inn ported into the United States during that year. It has been demonstrated that various parts Unit ed States adapted to ostrich raising and the results O experience have shown some of the ways which ostrich farms may be managed sue cessfully. there is every believe will be a steady and marked growth O the industry

in the near future.
 "The profit to be derived from the business will depend upon the manage ment. on the success secured in the raising of the young birds and on the production of feathers of good quality. The average yearly yield of feathers from an ostrich is one and one fourth pounds Birds produce from twelve to twenty ounces at each plucking with an average of sixteen ounces. The amount received from the feathers of each bird varies from $20 to $3O depending upon the yield and the price of the product The average re- turn for the year 1909 was $25.9S per bird. While both the ostrich eggs and flesh may be used for human consump- ton, the amount to be derived from these products is scarcely worth con- sidering As each pair of breeding birds is worth about SSOO and chicks six months old are valued at $100 any deaths from accidents or any inability to raise chicks greatly lessen the pro- fit to be derived from the business

GOVERNMENT DATA

The United States Department Agriculture has issued pamphlet the ostrich industry in the United States from which the following excerpts are taken:
 "Ostriches apparently thrive best In a warm, dry climate, but they have not been tried extensively enough under other climatic conditions in the United States to whether not they become adapted to d climate where the precipitation is greater.
 The question of the nature of the country most favorable for ostriches is largely affected by the kind of vegetation peculiarly suited to the soi which in turn is undoubtedly affected by the amount of rain fall Alfalfa pasture makes ideal for the birds furnishing large percentage of the food; hence a soil which is be made suitable for alfalfa is of the essentials success in ostrich farming.

Explaining the "Tips."

Those gkostly tips" that come out
of the dark. and are SO well known to
all railroad men, are explained In vari-
Gus ways by the different cults and
schools of the occult. Dreams and fore
warnings are placed in the same class
by those who argue that there is some
thing supernatural about these occur
rer,ces. The scientist gropes through
the galleries of the brain, the known
and the unknown in search of some
clue that will enable him to lay down
the laws that govern these weird mani
festations of the so-called sixth
sense" He is not satisfied with the
evasive answer that it is some super
natural quality that does these things.
Literature is full Of well-authenticate
instances of premonition and forewarn-
ing. Every day life is full of 1t, and 1t
So not at all uncommon to pick up
paper and find that the victim Of an
accident had told some friend or mem
Der of his family that he feared death
or injury on that particular day The
records of the various societies that
are devoted to the running down of SUI
pernatural instances are filed with
welLauthenticated cases of the sort.
War time literature is especially rich
In cases Of forewarning where men
ordinarily untouched by the fear of a
battles chances have spoken to their
comrades of the inevitableness Of death
in the next engagement. So many I'M
doubted cases of premonitory warnings
of this sort have occurred that they
form a literature all by themselves.

ing about two years ago. Leaving
the junction north of one of their few
stops they raced across the outskirts
of the Darlington reservation, climbed
to the crest of Okarche Hill and set
tied back on either side of the cab
to watch the drivers ROLL There was
nothing to keep them from tearing of
the mileage between Okarche Hill
and the Cimmaron river at the rate
of so miles an hour or upward. Just
why he did it, the engineer could
never tell, but his hand suddenly shot
out, seized the throttle, shut off the
steam, and an instant later set the
air brakes. The heavy train Jared

wonderingly at him from across the
cab. Without saying word, Darst

forward along the track A few feet
away from the engine pilot he saw
the crumpled body of a man lying be-
tween the rails.
When the train crew came running
forward a few moments later the en-
gineer conflded to the little group
that something" had made him stop
In spite OF the fact that he had not
caught sight of the body till he was
within few feet Of it. In the mean
time frantic dispatcher was trying

the highly important Information that
the bridge over Dover creek was In
bad shape and that speed of all trains
would be reduced to IL miles an
hour over that suddenly important
lculvert. The unusual stop gave him
time to receive and forward that mes
sage to the now belated train. The
train was saved from the conse-
:quences Of dilatory track walkers

in stopping and picking up the body
found on the right of way.

Train Stopped by Mouse.

On the Italian lines an electric ap-
paratus. upon the departure of a train
from any station, rings six strokes
upon a gong in the next station. The
station master at Capri, hearing three
strokes when there should have been
six, Immediately came to the conclu-
sion that there was something wrong
on the line, and ordered up the cleo.
trio signals of warning. The train,
which by this time was under full
Roadway, came to dead stop. Then
began transfer of telegraph mes
sages. The passengers were anxious
to know what was the matter. They
waited while the messages went back
and forth. The inquiry established
the fact that everything was right on
the line, and the train was ordered
forward after a considerable delay.
The station master about this time
thought 1t might be well to look into
his gong, and there he found stuck
fast between the cogs Of the electrical
apparatus a poor little mouse. The I'M
happy animal happened to be In the

Seal Found on Track.

A peculiar accident occurred in Cal
ffornia last week when young fat
and lazy seal basking in the sunshine
on the railroad track stopped an in
coming train at Los Angeles. At a
point where the seal was basking the
track was clear and the engineer was
able to observe 1t without running
over it. The train was stopped. The
engineer and brakeman captured the
seal, placed It In the baggage car and
brought 1t to the depot. The animal
was found several miles from the near
est water. The railroad officials sur
mise the seal was carried out to dry
land By an extraordinary high tide
from the Pacific. and that when the
tide went out it was unable to find its
way back to the water.

One of the most unique and attrac-
tive features on exhibition at the
great horticultural exhibition recently
held at Sebastopol, CAL, says writer
in the Wide World, was huge apple
locomotive All the exterior parts
OF this immense fruit engine" were
composed of large and beautiful APP
pies, OF which thousands were used
in the completion of the work. At
first q wooden frame-an exact dupli-
cate OF railway engine-was built,
and all over this were placed apples,
IN tasty and artistic patterns. When
all this work was completed there
stood the perfect figure of big zap
pie locomotive" Under a brilliant
electric light the work presented a
magnificent appearance-fairly daz-
zling. To build such figure required
much care, artistic skill, time. and
no little expense. The total length
OF this fruit engine" Is rs feet, while
from the apple roadbed and ties up to
the top of>the stack is nearly ten feet
No detail has been omitted In the
work Every appurtenance belonging
To real, genuine locomotive is there.
including cowcatcher, boiler, head
light, stack, whistle. bell, sand cham.

add that this splendid piece of work
was the central figure of public admi-
ration, interest and curiosity; also
that the huge apple locomotive" was
awarded the highest premium OF the
horticultural exposition.
