WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 28, 1885 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. In Ada county, Idaho Territory, 18,225 rabbits were killed during three months of this year, and the bounty amounted to $911.25. A bounty on rabits in Los Angeles county would deplete the pest, but it would also deplete the County Treasury. The appointment of Boggs as Inspector of Fruit Pests is evoking an avalanche of uncomplimentary notices from those who apparently know his qualifications, or lack of qualifications. His election was the result of political influence combined with the influence exercised by the Pioneer Society, of which Boggs is a shining fossil. A "no-fence-law" is the one absorbing issue in politics 'way down in Tennessee. That question has long ago been settled in California, which has a very satisfactory no-fence law. But we have heard Eastern people assert that the lack of fences is a sign of semi-barbarism, and that California will become truly civilized only when the custom of fencing prevails. The most perfect specimen of that typical personage, "the hungry office-seeker," is to be seen in San Francisco. He wants a position in the Custom House, and takes his lunch daily to that institution and eats it, seated half way between the offices of the Naval Officers and the Collector. If it could be proved that he would as faithfully attend to Government business after appointment, he ought to get a job instantly. A Japanese court has just set an example to civilization by fining an editor twenty-seven yen for neglecting to acknowledge the source of extracts clipped from a contemporary It such a law obtained in Ostrich Farming in California. The following article on the Anaheim ostrich farm is published in Harper's Weekly of the 21st inst. It is accompanied by illustrations of the birds and farm, which Anaheimers will readily recognize. The illustrations are: "The first ostriches hatched in California, ten months old," showing a group of ten young birds; "the artesian well," "a pair of breeding birds," "ostriches with nests of eggs": In March, 1883, the California Ostrich Farming Company was incorporated to demonstrate the practicability of raising ostriches profitably in this country, and a farm was bought in Los Angeles county. The climate and conditions were considered all that were necessary for its success by the promoters of this enterprise, comparing very favorably with South Africa, to which country this bird is indigenous. A capital stock of $60,000 was subscribed, and the work was immediately began with twenty-two imported birds, under the superintendence of the writer, who had had considerable experience as an ostrich farmer in South Africa. Ostrich farming in that country has developed enormously in the seventeen years during which it has been prosecuted. It is estimated that $40,000,000 is invested in the industry in Cape Colony alone, not to mention the Orange Free State, Natal and the Transvaal. Seven million dollars' worth of feathers are exported annually. Half of them come to this country, paying an import duty of fifty and twenty-five per cent upon raw and dressed feathers respectively. The feathers have become the second largest export of South Africa, diamonds heading the list. In order to protect this valuable industry, the South African government has imposed an export duty of $500 on each bird of any age, and $125 on each egg. This duty has been levied since November, 1884. The illustrations will give an idea of the California farm and its arrangements. The breeding birds are confined in a close corral, eight feet high, including about ten acres of land. This is again subdivided by board fences into twelve breeding corrals, ten of which contain each a pair or trio of breeding birds. The farm consists of 200 acres, and is cultivated exclusively for the birds. Upward of 100 acres are sown with alfalfa (lucerne), which is inclosed as required with board fencing, as pasture for the young birds. This acreage will support upward of 2,000 birds.

It such a law obtained in this country we know an editor not far away who would have paid during the last five years two hundred billion yen into the public exchequer. At last mail dates had been generally finished in France, Germany, Spain and Italy. The vineyards, as a whole, have had to contend with many obstacles, not only in the case of much unseasonable weather, but pests of various kinds. This was particularly true of the vineyards of France and Germany. In addition to phylloxera in France, there were oldum, mildew and authacnose. The two last named diseases had affected some districts that were last year entirely free from the plague. George H. Roosevelt, United States Consul at Bordeaux, thinks that in view of these drawbacks, which appear to be increasing, "it is only a matter of time when France will have to concede her right as the leading wine productive country to some more fortunate land." For the past five years, we may add, France has produced an average of $97,000,000 American gallons per annum, and Italy about 700,000,000 gallons. Evidently America is not meant as the immediate successor of France in the above prediction. At the next session of the New York Legislature a high license bill is to be introduced which in some respects is an innovation and improvement upon previous acts of that character. In the proposed bill, licenses are divided into six classes, as follows: 1. Liquor License.—To sell liquors of any kind to be drunk on the premises, in cities of more than 300,000 inhabitants, not less than $1,000; in all other cities, towns and villages, not less than $500. 2. Wine and Beer License.—To sell malt liquors, cider and wine to be drunk on the premises, in cities of more than 300,000 inhabitants, not less than $500; in other places not less than $250. 3. Beer License.—To sell malt liquors and cider to be drunk on the premises, in cities of more than 300,000 inhabitants, not less than $100; in other places not less than $50. 4. Storekeeper's Liquor License.—To sell liquors of any kind not to be drunk on the premises, not less than $100. 5. Storekeeper's Beer License.—To sell malt liquors, cider and wine not to be drunk on the premises, not less than $25. 6. Druggist's License.—To sell liquors of any kind for medicinal, mechanical and chemical purposes only, to such persons only as may certify in writing for what use they want them, not less than $10. If the well-meaning but not once heightened this duty has been levied since November, 1884. The illustrations will give an idea of the California farm and its arrangements. The breeding birds are confined in a close corral, eight feet high, inclosing about ten acres of land. This is again subdivided by board fences into twelve breeding corrals, ten of which contain each a pair or trie of breeding birds. The farm consists of 200 acres, and is cultivated exclusively for the birds. Upward of 100 acres are sown with alfalfa (lucerne), which is inclosed as required with board fencing, as pasture for the young birds. This acreage will support upward of 2,000 birds. The breeding birds are fed twice a day with alfalfa cut up by horse-power. About forty pounds are given to each bird per day, in addition to which corn, doura, cabbages, turnips, carrots, onions and other vegetables are fed as a change of diet, and shells and stones are also given in abundance to aid digestion and to provide egg shell material. The ostrich makes its nest by scratching a hole in the ground about four feet in diameter and eight or ten inches deep. In this nest the female lays from fourteen to sixteen eggs, which are then sat upon by both male and female, the female sitting during the day and the male during the night. The process of incubation takes forty-two days, after which the chicks are taken great care of by the old birds until the age of a month, when they are separated from the old ones, and the hens in a few weeks begin to lay again. If the eggs are taken from the nest as laid and hatched artificially, a hen will often lay from twenty-five to thirty eggs before stopping. They lay every other day, and will frequently lay three batches during the season. Some good birds will lay as many as ninety eggs during the year. An egg from a mature bird will weigh from three and a half to four pounds, and measure sixteen inches by eighteen in circumference. A pair of first-class guaranteed birds will produce from forty to seventy chicks per year. These begin to lay at the age of four years, although they are not "guaranteed breeders" until they have produced a record — that is until they have produced from forty to seventy chicks per year for several years in succession. They are then valuable birds, and distinguishable from simple "breeding birds," which are birds that have just arrived at the breeding age of four years, or have been found to be inferior birds. Many birds are barren, many lay infertile eggs; therefore the success of ostrich farming depends, in the first place, on an adequate and practical knowledge of the business in all its branches; secondly, on having a few first-class "guaranteed breeders" that can be relied upon. Many of the largest ostrich farmers in South Africa began with two or three pairs of birds. The rate at which these birds increase after the first four or five years is marvellous, and sufficiently explains the rapid fortunes made in ostrich farming in South Africa. The adult birds are plucked every seven or eight months, each bird, male or female, producing twenty-five long white feathers in each wing, worth in this country from three to five dollars each in the raw state. The chicks are first plucked at the age of six months, and every seven or eight months afterward. At two years they are producing feathers worth two dollars each, and at three to three and a half years they are producing their finest plumage. The ostrich is a long-lived bird, living probably to one hundred years. There are birds in Africa known to be over eighty years old, and still breeding. The quality of the feathers depends entirely upon the quality and quantity of food. To produce a good feather, as in producing oil prices quite an advantageous due in the United States exceptional price rise because he makes while the imported less with lard oil products which impress not always pleasant I was assured by lee Francisco that Mr. oil enough to satisfy price stated above.

If the well-meaning but not over-bright statesmen of the Los Angeles Common Council had enacted an ordinance graded somewhat after the plans and specifications above set forth, they would not only have accomplished the end aimed at without evoking a bitter opposition, but they would also have contributed in an indirect way to the popularizing of the beverages which cheer but do not incriate to any great extent. True temperance would be promoted and the main industry of Los Angeles county (and, loosely speaking, the State at large) would be promoted by the exaction of a nominal license for the privilege of retailing wine, and a higher license for the sale of distilled or fermented liquors. Under such a municipal regulation there would necessarily be places where only wine would be sold, and it would follow that business rivalry would compel the dealers to keep only the beat and purist article. As it is, we know of towns almost in the heart of the winegrowing districts, where it is impossible to get a glass of good wine except at the cellars where it is manufactured. George Muller, who has charge of several orphans' homes at Bristol, England, and who makes it a point never to ask for anything except by prayer, announces that something over $200,000 have been sent to him this year. A bill to prohibit newspapers from publishing details of suicides is being considered by the Legislature of Uruguay. The bill provides a fine of $250 for the first offense, and $500 or four months' imprisonment for the second. The King of Servia descends from an Irish family which emigrated to the Danabian country at the close of the Cromwellian War. His name is Milan Obrenovitch, an easy variant of the original form O'Brienovitch, also written O'Brienavick. The adult birds are plucked every seven or eight months, each bird, male or female, producing twenty-five long white feathers in each wing, worth in this country from three to five dollars each in the raw state. The chicks are first plucked at the age of six months, and every seven or eight months afterward. At two years they are producing feathers worth two dollars each, and at three to three and a half years they are producing their finest plumage. The ostrich is a long-lived bird, living probably to one hundred years. There are birds in Africa known to be over eighty years old, and still breeding. The quality of the feathers depends entirely upon the quality and quantity of food. To produce a good feather, as in producing good wool, an abundance of green food must be given, together with a sufficiency of corn. This fact is very generally overlooked even in Africa, it being the prevalent opinion that an ostrich will flourish well upon rocks and sand, and that it requires very little water. This is the cause of the many inferior shipments of feathers from tame birds in Africa, and of the downfall of many of the line-experienced ostrich farmers there. This country has a great advantage over South Africa in its irrigation facilities, an abundance of green food being obtainable all the year round by means of flowing artesian wells and irrigation ditches from the rivers. In Africa the periodical droughts form one of the chief drawbacks to success, and great numbers of birds die every year or two from this cause. During the breeding season, especially, the male birds are exceedingly savage and dangerous. They attack by striking forward with the foot, one toe of which is armed with a claw two inches in length, and strong enough to rip open a horse. Many accidents are the result of carelessness, and deaths from this cause are not uncommon. The speed of the ostrich is proverbial; and it may be interesting to know that the stride of the ostrich, when at full speed, is twenty-two feet. Wild birds are now very scarce. The male bird utters a cry much like the fog-horn of a steamer; if can be heard a distance of two or three miles, and throughout the breeding season the males are "bromming," as it is called in Africa, the whole night long. From the past two years' experiment there is every reason to believe that there is a great future for this industry in California. The feathers produced on this farm are inferior to none produced in Africa, although special attention has been paid to the raising of chicks to prove the practicability of prosecuting the industry in this country as a paying business. This has been sufficiently proved with the inferior birds at our command. We have a number of fine, strong healthy chicks hatched already this year. The climate of this portion of the State appears to be favorable to the ostrich.

SKETCHLEY, Sap't California Ostrich Farming Co. Death of Hendricks. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25.—Vice-President Hendricks died very suddenly at his residence a few minutes before 5 o'clock this morning. He came home from Chicago early in the week, and complained of feeling unwell, but nothing serious was thought of it at the time. Last night he and Mrs. Hendricks attended a reception at the residence of Hon. John C. Cooper, and after he came home he complained of pains in his side and stomach. This morning he was no better and his family physician, Dr. Thompson, was called in. He gave Mr. Hendricks an emetic, and later in the day an injection. Mr. Hendricks staid in his room all day, and most of the time was in bed, although he sat up at frequent intervals. He received no callers, but about 5 o'clock Mrs. Hendricks left his bedside to see a caller for a few minutes in the parlor. She was delayed longer than she expected, and when she returned to the room she found that Mr. Hendricks was dead. The end of his busy and evenful life had come peaceably and quietly. On his face there was no indication of pain or suffering, and his eyes were only half closed, as if in a gentle sleep. He died of paralysis of the brain. Olives vs. Grapes. Adolphe Flamant of Napa writes to the Bulletin to prove that an olive orchard is more profitable than a vineyard. Here are some of his calculations: Let us study now the revenue. The wholesale price of imported pickled olives in barrels at San Francisco is $1 per gallon. The picking and packing, if done here, would amount to a little less than thirty cents per gallon. If, in order to outdo foreign importation, the wholesale price for the domestic olive in barrel was reduced to 80 cents per gallon, it would still leave a net profit of 50 cents. Olives in bottles would pay still more, and the making of the oil would still show better results. A Powerful Digestion. The fact was published in the San Francisco Call that on Thursday of last week John Eckley, a young man about 20 years of age, in playing some juggling tricks, accidentally swallowed a penknife, the blade of which was open at the time. The blade was not only sharp on the edge, but unusually sharp at the point. A physician was immediately called, who prescribed an aperient, and ordered that no food of any kind be given the young man. Master Eckley's father was, however, doubtful of the proposed remedy. As Eckley lived near Port Costa, Mr. Wilder was telegraphed to for permission to stop the overland train on its way past, and orders were sent to Port Costa to stop at the ranch. So the young man was quickly taken to the city by his parents. The physician consulted there immediately asked what steps had been taken, and was much pleased to hear that no aperients had been given. The patient was made to lie on one side the first day, and told to eat as much food as possible, no medicine being given. He was kept quiet and well fed ever since, and was relieved of his indigestible luncheon. The pearl on the handle of the knife was much eaten and reduced in size by the acids of the stomach, so that the rivets holding it to the metal projected considerably, but the open blade was bright and keen as ever. Before young Eckley was relieved of his unpalatable luncheon he experienced some inconvenience but no severe pain. The young man is, however, considered very fortunate to have escaped so easily. A Rigid Bill. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Congressmen Henley and Morrow have been engaged for the past few weeks in drafting a bill to be presented to Congress during its approaching session, which will cover all the weaknesses of the present Chinese Restriction Act. Referring to this proposed bill in an interview published in the Examiner, Mr. Henley said: "It is not a restriction act—it is an out and out exclusion bill. By its Adolphe Flamant of Napa writes to the Bulletin to prove that an olive orchard is more profitable than a vineyard. Here are some of his calculations: Let us study now the revenue. The wholesale price of imported pickled olives in barrels at San Francisco is $1 per gallon. The picking and packing, if done here, would amount to a little less than thirty cents per gallon. If, in order to outdo foreign importation, the wholesale price for the domestic olive in barrel was reduced to 80 cents per gallon, it would still leave a net profit of 50 cents. Olives in bottles would pay still more, and the making of the oil would still show better results. Ellwood Cooper, whose oil sells at wholesale in San Francisco at $13.50 per case of 12 bottles, is said on good authority to have realized from his last year's crop from 6,000 trees, then 12 years old, $8 per tree, which at 160 trees to the acre represents a net profit of $800 per acre. It is but right to state that the imported oil pays $1 per gallon duty, which is quite an advantage in favor of the oil produced in the United States. However, that exceptional price is obtained by Mr. Cooper because he makes a strictly pure article while the imported oils are mixed more or less with lard oil, cotton-seed oil and other products which impart to it a taste which is not always pleasant. And I must add that I was assured by leading merchants of San Francisco that Mr. Cooper cannot produce oil enough to satisfy the demand at the price stated above. Compare that profit of $8 per tree, equal to $800 per acre, with the proceeds of a vineyard, which in its full maturity can hardly exceed $100 to $125 per acre. It is true that such results can be expected only when the tree is ten and twelve years old, but when in its sixth year its proceeds will already be superior to those of a vineyard in full bearing, for, if at that age it is expected to give about six gallons of berries on an average to the tree, of which the net profit will be no less than 50 cents per gallon, this will represent $3 per tree, or $800 per acre, and it will increase from year to year, until the tree, reaching about its twentieth year, will begin to yield at the rate of $800, $1,000 and $1,200 per acre. A Train Accident SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 24. At ten o'clock today the down train running between Boulder Creek and Felton went through a bridge located four miles above Felton. The engineer's attention was first attracted by men from the Pacific Mills a short distance away to the fact that the bent on the bridge had been carried out by the high water. The warning was observed none too soon to save the lives of the train men, but too late to stop the engine, which pitched down, burying herself out of sight in the foaming San Lorenzo river. The baggage and passenger cars were arrested in their descent before reaching the water, and stood half on end pitching towards the river. There were no passengers on board and the train men jumped in time to save themselves from injury. M. Dolan, a section man on the road, was in the baggage car and was considerably hurt by being rolled and buried under some knees and packages. A hole was cut in the top of the car and man and merchandise saved. After making the best disposition possible of the express matter the train men easily. A Rigid Bill SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Congressmen Heuley and Morrow have been engaged for the past few weeks in drafting a bill to be presented to Congress during its approaching session, which will cover all the weaknesses of the present Chinese Restriction Act. Referring to this proposed bill in an interview published in the Examiner, Mr. Henley said: "It is not a restriction act—it is an out and out exclusion bill. By its provisions no Chinamen will be allowed to come to this country after the middle of next summer. By its provisions the certificates, which have proven the chief source of frauds, will be entirely abolished; and the Chinaman who leaves us leaves never to return. The bill bars out all Chinese, whether merchants, students or alleged reputable wives." Pacific Const News.

Charles Kerry was married to Miss Katie Faith at Freeport, Ill., about two weeks ago. They came to this city Saturday night and put up at the Julian Hotel. This afternoon they went out for a walk and entered a drygoods store where Kerry purchased a forty-dollar cloak for his lovely bride. They returned to the hotel and the groom lay down and commenced to dose, when the bride placed a chloroformed handkerchief over his face, which produced four hours' sleep. Then the bride took his pocketbook and other valuables, amounting in all to about $300, and soon joined a young man who was in waiting near by, took the 4-o'clock train for the south and disappeared. The groom is heartbroken and swears he will shoot the man on sight. Mr. Kerry is a railroad man and his bride of two weeks was a waiter-girl at the Freeport Hotel. She was 17 years old and he 27.
