OSTRICH FEATHERS

Twenty years ago there were few
ostriches In captivity and most OF the
plumes that adorned the ladies' hats
were taksn from the wild ostrich. But
today there are great ostrich farms In
this country and abroad. the largest
being In South Africa.
The white ostrich feathers are not
fully developed. There are also black
and drab feathers on the same bird.
but when the white feathers are fully
developed they lose great deal Of
their whiteness. and in the olden days
had to be bleached.
Now the ostriches are blindfolded
with a hood and led into a sort OF
crate-like coop, where the black and
drab feathers are carefully pulled out:
but the white feathers are never pull.
ed out. as this would SO damage the
great sockets in which the large quilts
grow that no more would be forth
coming, SO the quills Of the white
feathers are carefully cut of and the
quills allowed to remain for several
months. when they come out naturally
and the new feathers start.
Fifty years ago there were only 81
tame ostriches known In all South
Africa. And in that year only 16
pounds Of feathers were exported. and
they came for the most part from
wild birds. brought down by the hunt
ers Last year there were about S00..
900 domesticated ostriches In South
Africa. and nearly 100000 pounds OF
feathers were exported at value Of
more than a million dollars.
