OSTRICHES, TAME AND WILD

AT Mission Cliff Gardens near San
Diego the Bentley Ostrich Farm was
established twenty years ago, and has been
in prosperous condition ever since.
The word ostrich is contracted from the
Latin avis struthio which came from the
greek strouthos. This seems to have been
one of those general utility words of very
vague and elastic meaning. 1t is amusing
to turn it up in the Greek dictionary.
First of all, it might mean any small bird,
especially sparrow. Secondly, it might
be used for any kind of bird whatever
as for instance an eagle. Thirdly, it sig-
niied an ostrich, but if you wished to be
very exact you said: "ho megas strouthoy,"
that is the big bird, and then there could
be no mistake.
The ostrich has only two toes on each
foot the third and the fourth, and of these
the third is by far the larger and supports
the greater part of his three hundred
pounds of weight His voice is deep and
ears sometimes mistake it for the roar of
the loin. He can also cackle and hiss like
a goose.
The bones of the ostrich have very few
of those ar-spaces which are so common
in the bones of birds which fly, and his
breat-bone has no keel His fat, curiously
enough, is of rich, orange yellow.
The speed of the ostrich is well known,
and it seems to be necessary because he
lives in place where food is scarce and
scattered. If he could travel no faster
than dodo, he would starve between one
mouthful and the next; but running so
swiftly, he can snap up bite of grass
here and small melon a few miles away,
and thus contrive to secure very good
dinner by ranging over a wide area and
by dint of quick runs between the different
courses. His diet also consists of grass
and many kinds of seeds.
Crushed stones or pebbles are absolute
ly necessary to the life of the ostrich; not
that he can digest hard rock, and turn it
into blood as some people seem to think,
but because he needs them in his gizzard
to furnish that wonderful little mill of
his with millstones, and thus enable it to
grind his food into fine particles. The
gizzard is dark cavity with highly mus
cular walls lined with tough, rubber
like coating, where the food gets churned
and squeezed and rubbed against the
stones until it is properly crushed.
AT the Mission Cliff Ostrich Farm
cracked shell and water is all that the
young chicks get for the first four days
after hatching; the shell of course serving
as millstones in the gizzard. Condescend-
