OSTK1CU FARMING IN TUi: STATES, ticport by Consul Uaker ui Ilucnus Arret, Argentine Republic Sumo Facts About the Curious ISirds. My receut report on ostrich farming iu tho United States seems to have elicited considerable interest, and I am iu receipt of many letters making further inquiries on the subject, and not having time to answer them separately, I have thought that the various questions asked might better be met by a supplemental report, which you will find inclo-vi. I give the points in the- o.Ucr iu which they occur to me : 1. I do not think it would bo possible to send ostrich cpz to tho United States and have them arrivo there in good condition. Tho long voyage aud motion of the .ship, to say nothing of the passage they would have to mako across tho heats of the equa torial regions, would so addle them that tbey would be unfit for incubation upon their arrival. This i-. not merely my own opinion, but alho that of the ostrich farm ers locatcu ucrc, 3. Th only safo wv.v is to uiocure the buds ; and Mestis. Hill. Prothcroe fc Co., who have been &o succc&sful in tians jilauting the Afiican ostrich into this couutry, inform mo that, so couvicced are they that tho United States ofTer all tho facilities necessary to a successful prosecution of tho business, they propose very soon to t.iko a lot of tho birds there and thus givo our countrymen an oppor tunity of testing tho now industry. They aro now making arrangements to this end. Tho cargo will consist principally of four-year-old buds, as they stand a sea voyage tho best, and tney can oa sold, by comparison, much cheaper than older birds, and besides, they assuro me that from their experience of tho 1okj.cs and expenses of bringing birds from tho Capo of Good Hope, it docs not pay neatly so well to import the feathered birds ai to rear them from tho breeders in the coun try itself. Ou the subject of this industry aud its naturalization in tho United States I hiib mit tho following letter, which I haJ re ceived from thorn : Kuexos Avees, April 13, 1S32. Dear Sir Wo bea touuilotiiat welmvomadc iuniica to iho letters you handed u Iroin va rious parties in the United Suites, u-kin turtiicr information than that contained in your own able leport to the dumrtiaent of state, on tliu sulijeut ot ostrich tunning. 'Hurt entcrpiiso continues to Ilomish in this country, ho far as tlic well-being ot the birds is concerned, and tho quality ot tho leathers produced on the rich p.tst ure ot thepainp.isis much bupuiior to the overage at the Cape. Our breeding blrdb have already comaienced and foui". chickens nave been hatched out, and ve shortly expect a lurther number. bhould you eml any turihei report to your government Wo ahoulil like to point out tho .-j)eeial advantages which we consider the I; lilted stated oifcr to this industry ; thut, there is iu the country itself u vast market lor all the leathers which eau possibly bo pra uuced there lor years to coruo ; am: doubtless there Is au import duty widen will protect the home grower and enable him to obtain higher pneo than foreign growers cm m other markets. This fact iullueuces, of course, the value ot tho cbickuus reaied in t.ie states, tho highest prices, ot eouiso thut eau be asked lor them lsjust m hat It costs to inipoit. Now, in the expenses ot snipping uro ery heavy, ui'.d tho loss at .sea is sure to be large ami may be tcrritlc, without tho possibility oi in surance, ic will scarcely pay to iutio duce any butlour-year-old uims and breiuor. with a view ot raising the leather birdi iu the states. Consequently, all lear ot cheap Im portation being done away with, u very hand some figure can be tasked lor elneke.i.,, and the owiiurb of ureeiling Mids will reap a gold en Iiarves-t. Tho Industry, indeed, will pay ai well in the United Mate.-, or even belter tlian It overdid .it the (Jupe iu tho days of l.ibuiou3 prolits, when the demam 1 lor chickens was far gi cater th.tn the supply, and when bird3 three mouths old rcadiiy biought '2 each ; una this iu u. country wlucii suiters Iioni periodical oiought, aul has many other drawbacks, all lending to make Oitricii larmiug le.-s valua ble, because lexs productive, than it v.-ill bo iu tho United fctatcs. That the business will asutuu; larger jm. portions in your couutry wo aro quiti! con vinced. : and, as is usual in suclicasi. the th.v.. iu 1hii Held will be the llrat to take advantage o; the demand lor young ostriches, which is sure to spring up Wo are, yours very truly, 1I1I.L,, 1'ltOTUk.KOE i; C'J. l;. S.ISaekr, Esep, United States Consul. o. In regard to tho yield of fcatheis, I urn advised that the product from one biid annually is worth aOout 6u"0, wholesale, in London. If however, tho pasturage is good, which it seldom is at tho Cape of Good Hope, tho yield is worth much more. Mr. Hill informs mc that ho has known ono plucking sell $150. and two pluckings can be taken in a year, but that is au ex ceptional ca?o. A return of $30 per year is the very lowest that will be obtained under any circumstances. Ho has every teasou, however, to ueliave that $120 worth of feathers from each bird will be given annually in the United States. An ostrich of two years of ago which costs, cay, $373, will thcrcforo givo about 2G per cent, gross proGr. From this a small percentage must be deducted for acci dent?, aud, fay, $G0 per bird for expenses, annually. Still this leaves about 15 per cent, clear ; and when' it is considered that any farmer of stock can generally plazo lifty birds and upward upon his land, without making much difference to the pasturage, and that no herding is ic quired whero tho fencing is good, aud that but little trouble is involved, even -it tho prices quoted it is more than fair remun eration. 4. A3 to prices of birds delivered iu tho United States, Messrs. Hill, Prothcroo & Co., inform me that they will probably be able to furuibh breeders at $1,730 per pair ; for four-year old birds, which may shortly be expected to biced, tho prico will bo $1,200 per pair ; ami for two-year-old birds, $730 per pair. 3. In tho caso of four-year-old birds and breeders, it will bo born iu mind that tho return of profit is twofold : first, the feathcis, which perhaps may not do moro than pay tho working expenses, as the birds when breeding require separate in closures and to bo led on grain ; second, the profit dorived from Iho sale of tho young chicks. Jiy tho process of incubation, it may certainly bo expected that sixty chicks will be annually reared from a pair ot breeders. The valtta is, of course, influ enced to somo extent by tho activity of tho demand ; but intrinsically it depends upon two things, viz: the return of leathers they givo and tho risk of death boforo they becorro productive As regards tho former point, a chicken gives its first plucking (always Loudon wholesale pricss), worth $5 iO $G per bird, at tho end of nine months ; and every faix to seven months thereafter the really good feathers aro produced, worth from $28 to $120 per plucking, according to the age of tho bird. Every man can therefore judge for him self v. hat a clutch would bo worth to hirr, were risks and mortality out of tho ques tion. 0. Iu regaid to mortality, almost every thing depends upon the stato of tho pas turage and tho rainfall. Generally, if a constant supply of luccrno (alfalfa) or clover or other green grass eau be ob tained, then ostrich farmers calculate on 10 per cent, as the rato of mortality, but should green stnfl not bo attainable when tha chicks aro from a few days up to threo months old, tho number of death? -Ti!Cltity in the Uiiilcd States oa 03trich icathcra is a? lollows : IV Ilea crude, or not dier'-cd, colored or manufactured. 25 ner cent, au wioM'ui. colored tt m:tin!?.CtuWI OTpcr .at. . I ..ioim, ' may be excessive. I am told that at the Cape of Good Hope the chicks are some times almost worthless from the absence of herbage. In the Argentine republic, and I presume in the United States, this great drawback will not be felt. After three months the special danger is passed. and at tho Cape chickens of this age for years have been worth from $50 to $60 each. After this time the mortality will probably not exceed 10 per cent. Mr. Hill is of the opinion that for alone time to come birds three months old would be worth in the United States $120 each ; for the expenses alone of importing ostriches will probably be almost this sum, to say nothing of the first cost and the risk of the voyage. Even at the price named tho return would bo satisfactory, and to tho owners of breeding birds quite fabulous. 7.R.egardinir the management of the birds, as I have said before, all that is needed is an inclosed paddoek, or grass field, with sufficient pasturage to sustain them. They should be collected and counted about once a week. Every month they should bo brought iuto a small inolosure, when each bird should bo examined, and the ripo feathers plucked. The process of displuming them is simple enough. They are put in a " corral " or small pen, so confined that tbey cannot exercise their propensity for kicking, and while two men hold the bird, a third proceeds to pluok the feathers. A still safer and more satis factory way is to put the bird in a box or stall made for tho purpose. When the birds ara breeding, each pair should have a small inclosuie to themselves say soventy yards square and a little grain daily. They produce an egg every two days. In violent storms shelter is always better for tho flock, but this is not really necessary. There will bo needed a small room for the incubating machine, and oil enough for tho lamp which heats the water ; also Khelter for the chicks up to the ago of two or three months. This is about all ; aud, as in other employments, success will bo attained by caro and attention. 8. Tho best book upon ostrich farming is that of Mr. Douglass, of Caps Town. It is published by Cassell, Fetter Sulpin & Co. , London and New York. It will be observed in this book that the author ad vises two or three years' experience on an ostrich farm before starting the business. Iu regard to this, Mr. Hill says that Mr. Douglass addressed himself to young Englishmen, who have been brought up to nothing, and know nothing, or very littlo of farming pursuits. He insists that any intelligent man, in tho least accus tomed totako care of stock, can learn the habits of theso birds in a mouth, as also how to treat the fow diseases to which they arc subject ; and if he buys healthy birds ho will bo successful from the first, pro vided the farm is a suitable one. I havo obtained the abovo points either ndirectly from thoso who aro practically acquaimeu yilu iiiu uuatucaa m uautuu farming or from observations of my own wiile visiting tho farms in this vicinity, and I think they will bo lound reliable. In regard to tho special advantages which tho United States offer for tho pros ccutiou of the industry I do uot think there can bo auy doubt. Ostrichs arc doubtless capable of stand ing the climate of almost any of thestates, but productive ostrich farming, whether for tlic featlior3 or for raising tho chicks for sale, ou-ht not to bo attempted except iu tho milder portions of tho country, as the Southern, Southwestern and Pacific btatcs. Tho birds aio naturally timid, but are readily domesticated, especially when thoy aro produced by incubation ; and they become on the farm as tamo as chick ens, ducks or geeso. The males, however, aro not quito so tractable, aud during the breeding season they sometimes become aggressive ; and then they havo to bo watched or they may do mischief. Their kick is severe and sometimes fatal, though by facing them with no manifestation of fear, and using a stick three or four feet long with a fork at tho end into which tho neck of the bird is inserted, their attacks can gener ally bo avoided. Messrs. Hill, l'rothoroc & Co. informed mo that immediately upon tho shipment of a cargo of tho birds to the states the fact will bo publicly announced, as also their port of embarkation.
