''Nothing but his feathers." '"Indeed-his flesh and his eggs, not good for food? "Nd, .-ir." .Why?" ?'Too ( ?ugh horribly unpalatable." "Mon t thc uatives ride 'em like horses in Africa?"

"Well, Hitler Haggard wrote a !< ?ok called'.less' about an African farm, and describes an ostrich SH nearly killing a woman. I ff!" '"ber thal. ".Maybe so, but < strich is are :i"t fe rociously inclined. ''What do they oat?" "In Africa they eat ehielly herbage, but I don't think thia soft food is as good for them as what they give them in Florida.*' .What do they feed t!i< m on there?" "Bits ?d' broken glass, egg shells'., sand, etc." "Voit don't tell mc?" "Yes-that is to help to form thc shell of tho egg which they lay-and these things aro better for thc ostrich than herbage, I think." "You don't mean to tell mc that os triches arc moro properly fed in Amer ica than in Africa?" "Oh, yes T do-and better taken care of, too." ''If they can live ou Florida sand there ought to bc money in them." i : "There is-and will bc much more." "Wherein lies the value of thc os trich?" "Only in his feathers. They are rare and costly and very beautiful. You have seen thc ostrich boas, per haps?" "Oh, I reckon so." "What time do they shear ostriches in Florida?" "They don't shear 'om-they clip the feathers." "All thc same, except closer cut." "They clip the birds when the feath ers are full grown-the feathers grow rapidly." 'What feathers?" "The wing feathers. They clip ls from each bird aud then let 'em grow agaiu." "Good." "Yes, better than in South Africa." "Why?" "Because they clip off all the feath ers that can be clipped there, and this is not taking proper care of thc birds. This is another point in which Florida is ahead of Africa in raising ostriches and taking care of them." That is certainly a revelation to me and will be to hundred:! (d' people. If ostriches have a better time and llourish to a greater extent in Florida than South Africa. In other words, if thc State of Florida is a better place to raise thc big birds successfully, than Africa, the world cannot know it too soon. For, if the gent is right, nowhere on earth could au ostrich board cheaper. There aro more oyster shells, broken bottles and sand in Florida than there are ostriches in Africa. There ought to be an ostrich farm in every County of that State. Tho price of feathers would not only shoot to the bottom in a few years-thus bene fiting thc peon o at large-but the orange would have to take a backseat! For you cannot free /.?ja feather!
