A pluck at the Kenilworth ostrich farm having been announced for Monday, a party of visitors took the train from Los Angeles for the scene of this un- familiar form of harvesting. The ostrich farm which is situated about seven miles northeast of L09 Angeles, occupies a very prqtty valley at the foot o f one of th e coast ranges, not far from tive Burbank station, \on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Tho ostriches are confined in a number o f large co rral^ in which the birds have free room to run about scoop out their primitive nests and make themselves gen- erally quite at home. F our of these corrals are occupied by pairs of full- grown imported birds, a t th e present time occupied te laying eggs, In other cor- rals are young birds, natives of California, which appear to be quite as healthy and promise to be as fine as their African Barents. • m * <*hmHMm <* W i t f # * « * * fi - - 4 I V->4 -ultAire for April wlati* to tlie condi^on of W t e r g»lj(i afldof f a m antoal* Unt of w in ter quarter*.

The one iln-ig which makes ostriches manageable at all is that they cannot either fly or leap, ui if they can they are not aware of thoir powers. Hence an ordinary post and im! fence five feet high is sufficient to coniine birds standing perhaps seven feet high, even when they are making the m*»t desperate efforts to escape from the hand-' of their spoilers. But if they cannot fly they can r u n and kick, and a kick from one of th eir great strong legs is au experience which nobody cares to try Thus in catching them it is always nece^ary care- fully to avoid gettin g te front of them, for they can only kick straight, forward: Wheu plucking is to begin three men enter the corral and approach tin-birds. They try to get the one they \eh to catch u p into a corner, but as f o bird soon sees that his best chance lies in keeping in toe open, he races first down o n e side of the corral, then up the o t h e r , making i t appear as though it were an almost hopeless task to try and catch him. His strides are enormous, b u t hi* great feet an d the muscles of his thigh* are so strong th a t he comes along with a strangely easy, springy gait 111 which very little is seen o f the fooli*h awkward- ness which is the first chai n u-rtitic to striko strangers wheu they so the bird at r e s t . .
