homo the parent cstr'ehes pay no attention to the young- birds after they Icavo the the!!. They seem 'o think their work ends at the nest. Ostriches have lived in captivity in the ThtUtod S.ates about thirty years and only two or thrne have dhfl natural doaihs after they have passed the chick stage and these died of bad hearts. Just how Iocs they live is a matter which, has not ye-t been determined by ostrich, breeders. KiceirtioTis To Of-trtcti Fltiqncttft. There are some frak birds -who are eicrptions to th rtil of ostrtc.h etujuette; for instance, there Is a bird on a California farm who had two wd-s at the Fame time and tho thre lived happily together. "A party of Mcrmons cane to the farm while was rn th-i "ccnirtlr.s: pen" and they put the idea of porira-my !xio his heaI I reckon." said the keeper, ns he pointed otit the birch Therw is srtother ostrich who is a corrfrrme-d bachelor and althour-h ht Is t-weJve years of a?:e he has refutswd to tak a wife and has killexl three females who have tried to "make up" to him. Tie rrnsts about his pen rpreadlnsr his winsrs dl.splaytns hiB heantiful black and white plumes, which resereb's a hupe fan and generally acts as though he win the 'king of the farm. lie Is fond of the keeper and at his command will race aborrt

his pen displaying- his feathers to visitors. Mo Waste In Ostrich As A Food. If the ostrich becomes a pert of our daily menu the butcher wilt find rery little -waste. The neck and lern are the only part of the bird of -which there Is any question, but even these wiil likely be utilize! by the chefs. There is plenty of marrrnv la the leg bones ,snd "ostrich marrow bone on toast" may soon be found on the bill of fare at ell well refute ted hotels. This marrow too might be irsc-d in soups and gravies. The neck which is three feet long- mtfrht also be used in sonp-s to the sajr.o a3vrin?a:e as ex rail, ""he other parts ef the bird can be

broiled, rourtd or stewed, and tt is est.lma.fcd that one ostrich is equal to two hundred chicken 3. All these thing's are much more ptilatab'e than the averag-e person hmagines. I Tito Of IISJTOstxich egrs for e3ttnp sell at about $2.50 each and -weigh from three and one-half to five pounds each. If yoti will drain the.se cfrr throt-ph a small hole you can pet a dollar far the theil if you can find a nuiserim that nees one, Hcwce.r, if you are going Into the est rich farmi.nfr ttisim-as and want efrjrs for breed In? parpose.a you win have to pay five dotla-rs a piece for them. It may Interest the prosrpective iwrich farmer to know that the eaJif-tic on ostrich raising shew that in twenty-rdne yostrs one pair cf birds were the parents of over four hundred and fifty ostrich chicks. The bis birds have voracious arpetile-s end are always rady to eat, whether it is or.aies, supar beets, alfalfa or somebody's scarf pii. the-y grab It with a ss re eaffemess. They ere greedy too and will swallow omspea fts faat as they can be harfdel -up. At tlrae3 the writer has seen a half dozen oranpes passlnp down the neck of an ostxich while he was beKgdns for more. As the till opens fully four Inches the bird has little difficulty in swallo'wtng the fruih When the keeper cornea with a wagon of alfalfa the visitor begtns to realize that one might as well start a cattle ranch as bepin an ostrich farm. However, ghoaild the Govfrncsent take up the matter ef ostrich, raislup it will develop Into a Kderbc-e and the btrde will be fed en food which will aid in sweetening the meat and a ptttdy win be mado of how to make the largest production of eptrs. We thai) probably learn more of the value 0 the ostrich as a "food In the near futare when the Government nrvally taJtem tip the problem of ostrich reJsrap. Truly the h.ig-h ovwt of Ihdn? Is chanplrLar one's idea as to the proper diet for mankind.
