THE BIRDS OF THE PLACENTIA OSTRICH FARM TO BE PLACED UNDER THE HAMMER ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8—REASONS FOR THE SALE. The announcement that the California Ostrich Farming Company will sell its property at Placentia at auction Wednesday, April 8, leads to the inference that the company's experiment in raising ostriches has not proved the pecuniary success anticipated. But this is a hasty conclusion. Ostrich raising in Southern California is yet in the experimental stage, and those who have entered the business have had at the best but a limited knowledge of ostrich farming. The fact has been demonstrated, however, that the climate of Southern California is admirably adapted to the raising of the ostrich, and it has been also shown that the birds thrive upon the alfalfa which is so abundantly grown in this section. With proper climatic conditions and with the most desirable food it follows that the birds increase in numbers quite rapidly. So far in the experiments made in this section, the young birds, rather than the feathers plucked from the old ones, have been the great source of profit, as full-grown birds are marketable from $300 to $500. The chicks are hatched by incubation, and fully 25 per cent of the eggs hatch. The chicks come out of the shell at the end of six weeks' incubation, and the shells of the egg that do not hatch out bring a large price as curiosity and have a ready sale. The ostrich family is represented by four species, the ostrich proper (struthus camelus), the rhea, the emu and the cassowary. The birds which have been introduced in Southern California are of the African species, or the ostrich proper. The first lot of birds, some twenty in number, were brought to Southern California early in 1882 by Dr. Sketchy, and were farmed at Centralia. Later on the Doctor brought fifteen more birds from Africa, making thirty-five birds in all. In August 1882, 1. San 2. Los 3. Alas 4. San 5. Sacr 6. San 7. Sone 8. Free 9. Tula 10. Huat 11. Sola 12.

Women architects are to submit all plans for women's buildings at the Chicago Fair. A mahogany tree lately out down in Honduras made three logs which sold in Europe for $11,000. This country has 1,000,000 miles of telegraph wires; enough to reach forty times around the globe. There are three physicians in Philadelphia who have an income from their practice of $20,000 each. Farm lands in the United States, taking the country as a whole, occupy only 289 acres in every 1,000. If the rolling stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad were made up into one train it would be 725 miles long. There are 37,000,000 babies born in the world every year, which would not be the case if it were not for China. More cabin passengers arrived in New York in 1890 on the ocean steamers than ever before in the history of that part. The South American tronkia and the consequent advance in price of nitrate of soda have caused a stir in glass circles. The French paid 5 milliards of francs (5,000,000,000f), equal to about $1,000,000,000 indemnity to Germany to buy peace in 1870. The area of Canada is 3,379,000 square miles; the area of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, is 2,970,000 square miles. Nine hundred and fifty submarine telegraph cables are now in operation, most of them in Europe; their total length is over 89,000 miles. Illinois women have asked the Legislature to vote them $50,600, to be expended in getting up a State Women's Exhibit for the World's Fair. The Mutual Underwriters of the Northwest will abolish commissions, pay some salaries and rely on an interchange of courtesies to fill the balance of the bill. The slate industry grew to a total of $2,194,000 last year, including the output of Pen Argyie, Bangor, East Bangor, Mount Bethel, Wind Gap and Hard Vein. A majority of the Michigan salt manufacturers have agreed to organize and become members of the Michigan Salt Association in case 95 per cent of those in the State can be induced to do so. The New York Sun thinks the tendency of the money market is now as decidedly toward low rates as it was toward stringency during 1890. It seems it probable that money will rule at 3 or 4 per cent for some time to come, or even less than that. At one of the steel works in Allegheny City, Penn., there was recently rolled a strip of steel for a spring six inches wide, one-quarter of an inch thick and 310 feet long. The order for the spring had been tendered to all the large English and continental works, but none of them would undertake the task. But the increase above given is not a fair test of the fertility of the transplanted ostrich. The voyage from Africa to California takes seventy days, and for two or three years the first birds brought over did not fertilize. It appears that they had to recover from the long trip at sea and had to get acclimated. They were then as vigorous as ever and the birds that are hatched on California soil breed as regularly and are as prolific as those of African growth. It may be here stated that an ostrich costs $100 in Africa; there being an export duty of $50 on each, and that about 20 per cent of the birds are lost on a voyage. The young birds are first plucked when they are seven months old; at fourteen months the feathers are very good, and at twenty-one months the plucking is fine. The birds arrive at maturity in California at the age of about five years, a year or two earlier than they do in their natural homes. The value of the feathers plucked ranges from $70 (young birds) to $200 a year. Probably a fair average is $100 for each bird, young and old. A mature bird is valued at $500. Here is Cawaton's estimate of the profits from ostrich farming. The birds are divided into trios, a male and two females, and it takes two acres of alfalfa to feed the three birds: COST OF FARM FIRST YEAR.

The ostrich family is represented by four species, the ostrich proper (struthis camelus), the rhesus, the emu and the cassowary. The birds which have been introduced in Southern California are of the African species, or the ostrich proper. The first lot of birds, some twenty in number, were brought to Southern California early in 1882 by Dr. Sketchly, and were farmed at Centralia. Later on the Doctor brought fifteen more birds from Africa, making thirty-five birds in all. In August, 1882, one Caweton, an Englishman, brought a number of ostrichs from Cape Town, Africa, and located a farm at Norwalk. In 1886 and 1897 he added to the original lot birds from Natal, until he had forty-two in all. Other ostrich farms were subsequently established at West Fallbrook, San Diego county; at Los Feliz, Los Angeles county; Santa Barbara, Santa Monica and Red Bluff. The total number of birds now in California will not probably exceed 488 divided as follows: Placentis, 164; Fallbrook, 100; Norwalk, 70; Santa Barbara, 59; Santa Monica, 44; Red Bluff, 40. The Los Feliz farm merged into the Santa Monica farm and part of Dr. Sketchly's birds originally at Centralia were taken to Red Bluff. The only birds brought from Africa were those of Sketchly's and Cawaton's before mentioned or seventy-seven in all. In nine years the seventy-seven birds have increased to 468,and in the breeding of the 391 new birds it has been shown, as before stated, that ostrich thrives as well in Southern California as upon its native soil. But the increase above given is not a fair test of the fertility of the transplanted ostrich.

The London Times, in an editorial on the New Orleans killing, says: "It is all very well to reprobate the resort to violence, but in such circumstances as these, what way is there for emancipating a community from intolerable tyranny excepting by resort to violence? The law requires trial by jury, and trial by jury has been reduced to a farce by the knowledge possessed by every juryman that if he convicts a member of the Mafia his life is not worth a week's purchase. It is really a misuse of the language to speak of the resort to violence as the standing rule in New Orleans. All Parkinson and his followers have done is to accept the conditions prescribed by the Mafia. All law rests ultimately upon force, and when the courts are dominated by the criminals whom they exist to punish, nothing remains but to go back to the first principles to effect their deliverance. Let lawless violence be abandoned by all means, but 'que messieurs les assassins commencent.' Among the men who were lynched there may have been some who did not actually fire at Hennessy, and it is not pretended that there were any who were not members of the datestable society that desired his death. That being the case, it is impossible to feel any acute distress, because in the midst of the violence they had wondered indispensable they had been somewhat more severely punished than if they had been leniently dealt with."

Perry's computation of the profits of ostrich takes two acres of alfalfa to feed the three birds: COST OF FARM FIRST YEAR. Ten acres alfalfa land $3,000 Thirty birds 18,000 Two men 600 Building and incubator 500 Sundries 500 Total $19,000 INCOME FIRST YEAR. Seventy chicks at $50 each $3,500 Feathers (old birds) $20 each 6,000 Feathers (chicks) $20 each 1,400 Egg shells 500 Total $11,400 The farmer still has his land, building and incubator and old birds and consequently his investment proper of $18,500 as the end of the year nets him a profit of $8,320, deducting running expenses and interest on capital invested at 8 per cent. This estimate is the fancy side of ostrich-raising. The legitimate profits of ostrich-farming are the feathers, as the raising of ostrichs for the market would soon overstock it. A farmer with thirty birds would probably hatch and raise no more than ten chicks and his profits for the year would be under the most favorable conditions about $5,000. From this must be deducted his year's work and personal expenses. The dark side of the business he keeps to himself. Most of the ostrich farmers are enthusiasts in the business. H. B. Perry, owner of the ostrich farm at Santa Monica, has been engaged in the business about two years, he having been previous to settling here, part owner of the ostrich farm at Santa Barbara. As before mentioned, he now has forty-four birds and expresses himself as quite well satisfied with his profits. In fact he is so well satisfied that he says that he would be glad to buy the stock of the Placentia farm had he the means available at the present time. Mr. Perry is somewhat in advance of his competitors, as he makes up certain of his feathers at his farm, and supplies the local and retail trade direct. It is not generally known that the feathers that appear so black or so white when on the bird are, when plucked, respectively a dark brown and a light gray. Before they can be worn they have to be dyed or bleached and curled and otherwise made up, and the feathers in their natural state are usually sold to the large Eastern manufacturers or sent to European markets. Mr. Perry states that plumes sell, in his way of disposing of them, at from $150 to $7, and that each of his birds will furnish $100 worth at each plucking, and give besides between 300 and 400 small feathers, which are made up into faux and other articles of adornment, and bring from $40 to $50 each bird. According to Perry's statement, the birds being plucked every seven months, the ostriches on his farm produce fully $200 worth of feathers a year each.

TO BE EXHIBITED AT CHICAGO—ORANGE COUNTY WILL RAISE $3,-000 AND PUT IN AN EXHIBIT. The State Citrus Fair for Southern California, which has just come to an end, has achieved a success unparalleled in the history of such enterprises on the coast. Though lasting only eight days, it entertained over forty thousand visitors. The receipts from gate money were over eight thousand dollars, of which sum about one-half accrues as profit into the hands of the committee. Twenty-three different localities were represented, many of them with designs of magnificent proportions and superb artistic effect. Over four carloads of citrus fruit were placed in the exhibit, besides many other semi-tropic products. The show has been pronounced by thousands of people, who are well equipped to pass judgment, to have been the finest sight of its kind ever displayed upon this continent. It is now proposed to reproduce this Fair as nearly as is practicable in Chicago, or, if no suitable hall can be secured there, in some other great Eastern city. The General Committee of the Fair has agreed to apply its surplus profits, amounting to at least three thousand dollars, toward the necessary guarantee fund, an additional sum of three thousand to be provided by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. The latter amount was speedily raised in the city of Los Angeles, and the whole sum now awaits the inauguration of the enterprise. A careful forecast of possible expenses has been made by the management, and it is believed that the Fair can be reproduced in Chicago, in even a more magnificent style than originally; for a cost of about six thousand dollars, provided all the necessary fruits is donated by the localities represented. If, therefore, the Fair were to draw no larger crowds than it has drawn in Los Angeles, it The chicks end of six weeks of the egg that do not charge price as curios represented by four (struthis osmelus) the cassowary.

It will be seen that 223 votes will be required to elect the total being 444. WHEN THE CROP IS SOLD. When the crop is on the market and the cash is in your sock, And you hear the clink and jingle of the key turned surplus profits, amounting to at least three thousand dollars, toward the necessary guarantee fund, an additional sum of three thousand to be provided by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. The latter amount was speedily raised in the city of Los Angeles, and the whole sum now awaits the inauguration of the enterprise. A careful forecast of possible expenses has been made by the management, and it is believed that the Fair can be reproduced in Chicago, in even a more magnificent style than originally, for a cost of about six thousand dollars, provided all the necessary fruit is donated by the localities represented. If, therefore, the Fair were to draw no larger crowds than it has drawn in Los Angeles, it would still be a financial success. Chicago has a million inhabitants; Los Angeles sixty thousand. It is not unreasonable to suppose that five people would attend there; when the show would be in every sense a complete novelty to one here. The organizations which have assumed the entire financial risk of the undertaking believe that there is reasonable prospect of a profit accruing. They have provided for the division of this profit as follows: Forty per cent to the Chamber of Commerce in return for its subscription of one half of the guarantee fund, and for its work in making the past Fair a success; and sixty per cent to the localities entering, in return for their subscriptions of fruit, or its equivalent. The net receipts must be applied, however, to the repayment of the Citrus Fair fund before any profits will be declared. To complete the amount of fruit required for a successful reproduction of the Fair, it is necessary that each of the localities supply at least as great a quantity of fruit as it sent to Los Angeles for the display just closed. At the end of the Fair in Chicago, each locality shall be awarded a share of the 60 per cent of the profits in the proportion of its contributions of fruit, etc., for the success of the enterprise, the value of the same to be apportioned by the Executive Committee. The Locality Committees may make such arrangements with regard to the contribution of the fruit and the subsequent disposition of the profits as they see fit. In most cases it will be found advisable to divide proceeds among individuals in accordance with the amount of their original contributions to the exhibit. The Fair in Chicago will be under the control of the same Executive Committee and general management as the Fair in Los Angeles. The expedition will carry the regular accredited representatives of different sections, selected as follows: One each from San Diego, Orange, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties; two from San Bernardino county; three from Los Angeles county, and one at large. The railway fare of these gentlemen will be paid. Any locality that chooses to send additional representatives at its own expense may do so and many will adopt this plan. Each locality may send whatever reading matter it sees fit. The Executive Committee will pay for all extra labor produced in Chicago for the reproducing of the designs and the placing of the fruit. H Jay Hauchette, the Superintendent of the Fair, will leave for the East at once, to be followed as soon as the work of organization is completed, by the Executive Committee and exhibitors. Fruit and other materials should be prepared for shipment immediately, and due notice will be given to all who send word to the Executive Committee of their intention to participate in its display, as to when delivery should be made at the cara. The Fair will open in Chicago during the first week in April. From these facts it must be evident that there is need of speedy action on every WHEN THE CROP IS SOLD. When the crop is on the market and the cash is in your sock, And you hear the clink and jingle of the key turned And the clinking of the "penalties" and the clanking of the "leas." And the groceryman is paid up and no more his bill he sends; Oh, it's then's the time a feller is a feelin' at his best When he rises from his supper, then downward pulls his vest; And he smokes his pipe in comfort and then goes and winds the clock. When the crop is on the market and the cash is in his sock. There's something kind o' cheerful-like about the farmer's eyes When he knows the summer's over and he doesn't have to rise About the time daylight's a peepin' through the gloom, And work until the moon's up 'mid the grain that's all in about; But instead he correr calculates he'll hook old "Buck" and "Jess" To his cutter in the evenin' and put on his Sunday dress; Then go a courtn' Lizer with her apron and new frock, When the crop is on the market and the cash is in the sock. Oh, the hunkin' and the spellin' bees—the winter's harmless fun! The raspin' of the fiddle when the dancing is begun. The jingle of the sleigh-bells, your best gal in the sleigh. The exhilaration of the ride beneath the moon's bright ray. The roasting of the chestnuts, the neighbors droppin'in; The eatin' of the apples, drinkin' cider from the tin; Oh, it sets my heart a prancin' and at fate it makes me tremble.

Committee will pay for all extra labor produced in Chicago for the reproducing of the designs and the placing of the fruit. H. Jay Hanchette, Superintendent of the Fair, will leave for the East at once, to be followed as soon as the work of organization is completed, by the Executive Committee and exhibitors. Fruit and other materials should be prepared for shipment immediately, and due notice will be given to all who send word to the Executive Committee of their intention to participate in its display, as to when delivery should be made at the cars. The Fair will open in Chicago during the first week in April. From these facts it must be evident that there is need of speedy action on every hand. Representatives of various localities who have been on duty during the Fair are thoroughly informed as to the plans of the management and can explain how the work is to be put through. The localities which come forward at the time set, with the necessary amount of fruit will share in the profits and the manifold advertising advantages of the enterprise—the others must be omitted. Among the orange growing localities and counties of Southern California there are several which were not represented in the late Fair. All are cordially invited to participate in the Fair in Chicago. It must not be supposed that the only contributions expected will be in the form of citrus fruits. All semi-tropical products, including raisins, walnuts, dates, olives, etc., will be found available for the purpose of display as well as all specimens of rare and tropical fruits. The direct value of the reproduction of this grand spectacle in Chicago, in its advertising merit of our fruit in the center of Northwestern market, and in the attention which it will draw to the magnificent resources of this section, opens up a field for speculation too vast to be more than touched upon. Suffice it to say, that the proposed enterprise offers to the people of Southern California, the opportunity which the fruit-grower and land owner have long beheld in dreams, coming now at last in a real and tangible form.
