Ranch In Arizona, on Which There
Are Thousands Of the Birds, Pays
Good Dividends

The largest flock Of ostriches in
the world, says the Health Magazine,
is to be found on ranch Ia miles
south of Phoenix, Ariz., where on
1 200 acres there can be seen dis
porting at one time $500 birds,
some Of which are black Nubians,
eight feet high and worth $4,000
each. This farm started Ia years
ago with six pairs of birds, and in
the first six years there were 500,
The birds are cooped in numbered
ten-acre lots fenced in with woven
wire seven feet high and each bird
wears a numbered tag, so as to in
sure their being plucked every eight
months. AS the plumes are cut from
eight to ten Enclosures month, each
bird yielding a pound or more Of
plumes worth from $50 to $500 a
pound, it can be seen that the ranch
yields good income. Fifty birds
are kept in each corral and the feath-
ers are graded into lots of IL stand
ard sizes, according to fneness,
length, width and breadth for my
lady's hat. An ostrich begins to pay
in feathers at eight months old,
though they are not really full grown
until two years, when they give the
best plumes and weigh from three to
four hundred pounds.

Basket Willow

The Department of Agriculture Is
getting ready to fill requests for the
basket willow cuttings grown last year
on its experimental farm at Arlington.
Va. Distribution of these cuttings
takes place early in March each spring,
to farmers and others who wish TO
make trials of basket willow on lands
too wet for other crops. From 90 TO
100 cuttings are given each person.
The distribution is not mere Civ
ing away of Government material TO
persons who desire TO get something
free; because it is required that each
recipient of cuttings shall make a re-
port of the treatment given and the re-
suits obtained. Several select varieties
are included in each set that Ia distri-
buted, and tine aim is to secure infor.
nation as 10 the best variety foi each
locality, since no one kind can be relied
upon to yield maximum results over
wide range OF territory.
In the basket willow investigations
carried on at Arlington Farm. Airing
ton, Va and at Ames, Iowa. by the
Forest Service, particular attention has
been given TO the development of A
merican species for basket making pur-
poses The European species now com.
monty used have never proved them
selves adapted to American conditions
and are as rule less thrifty than the
native species At present there is AT
Arlington willow grader containing
nearly 500 lots gathered from all parts
of the country and representing prac-
tically every specie and variety found
in the United States and Canada.
A system of selection which has been
carried on for several years is already
indicating which strains show the best
basket willow characteristics for A
merican conditions.
