] ————— OSTRICH FARMING. “What an Importer of Animals Says About the Great Birds, New York Evening Post. Mr. Charles Reiche, the well-known importer of animals, referring to the article on ostrich farming which ap- poared a few days ago in The Evening Post, said this morning that while he had no doubt that there was a good field for the business in this country, a first experimentin breeding ostriches which he made some years ago had been disappointing. He imported six chicks in 1875 from Nubia, Africa, expecting to keep them until full- grown when they would be valuable for show purposes. As they are birds which require a good deal of room, it was easier to transport them when oung than when they attain full size. 'he six were taken to Hoboken when about four months old, and seemed to thrive well; they ate voraciously what- ever was offered to them - even stones as big as & man's fist, nails, oyster shells, ete. They grew so fast that the experiment was considered a highly successful one until one after another they began to die from some mysterious cause which was not dis covered until their bodies were dis- sected. It was then found that many of their bones were broken, and that the rich food, and too much of 1t, had caused them to become heavy and fat before the bones were large enough to support the weight of their bodies. The bone structure had not kept pace with the flesh. The food had been too rich, At present there are unly four ostrichesin the country. Barnam re- celved two u few weeks ago, and the Cincinnati Zoological garden has had one for a number ot years. At pres- ent Mr. Reiche has two men in Nubia and twc in Cape Town on the lookout for some ostriches to fill an order for a dozen from Barnum. The method of catching them at present is as fol- lows: Theagent engages haif-a-dozen hunters, to whom he pays no wages but whose expenses he defrays. Mounted on good horses, these men track a herd of ostriches, who are found in the desert usually feeding on wild melons growing in the sand, and on a bean known to the natives as durah, The herds vary in numbers from fifteen to fifty adults, each male bird having in subjection several females. When the huntsmen appear the whole herd takes to flight, but owing to the habit of running in cir- cles a good horseman can make short work of the swiftest ostrich. The adults are shot or strangled and the chicks are tied by the legs and carried off. The feathers of the old birds be- long to the huntsmen, who are paid in this way for the work. Instead of pulling out the feathers of the dead birds the natives skin the birds, and salting the hides with arsenic and salt, to prevent decomposition, send them to London in that state. The young birds are then fed with any kind of grain and sent to Germany, which is the great market for wild animals of all kinds. In hunting the birds manyfeggs are sometimes found, which during the expedition in the desert are eaten by the natives, one egg weighing nearly three pounds. The eggsin the nest are placed upright and usually covered with sand, the heat of the sun aiding the incubation during the day while the bird sits on them at night. Around each nest is acircle of eggs which are mot hatched, but serveas food for the chicks when they leave the shell. Ostrich hunting is apt to bo a dan- gerous business to anyone not familiar with their modes of attack. One of Mr. Reiche’s white agents was killed ripped the man open with its power- ful claws. When separate cases. dealers have sometimes Eons and deer, the ostrich ending by other fierce beasts which, getting out of their cages, attacked them, As to the age to which an ostrich can live in this country, it is impossi- ble to form any opinion.

He remembered that John C. Heenan, once the acknowl- arove Sayres out of the ring in 1860, although blinded for the time in both eyes, was born near Troy, and he de- termined to maintain the honor of Tilum and thefEmpire state. Advancing from behind the wings, “Dick” Egan, ‘“the Terror,” ap peared before the footlights and an- nounced that he was ready to contest for the prize.

The suceess of that experimont, both in the collection of back pay and increase of prepaid subscribors was 8o encour- aging that the publishers vontured upon the same system of premium dis- tributions on a mere extensive scale last year. It was demonstrated that we could better afford to distribute the money usually paid to agents, local collectors and attorneys, directly to our patrons by offering them extra ordinary inducements to square ac counts and propay for another year By this method we have succeeded in two years in quadrupling the circula tion of Tne WerkLY Brg and extend- ing its influence far beyond the boundaries of this state. During the first your cnly a portion of the arcicles distributed were pro cured in exchange for advertising. When the marked increase in circula- tion became known to merchants and manufacturers last year they willingly placed their machinery and merchan- ) | dise at our disposal in paying for ad- '| vertising. That enabled us to do > [ what seemed ineredible - namely, fur- ! | nish a metropolitan weekly for two “ | doilars a year and give our subscaibers premiums that aggregated in value $20,000. And yet it was a paying in- vestment for us, and gave general satisfaction to our patrons. What grew out of a desire to collect back pay has developed into a new and practical idea. We have discov- ered that we can afford to make our subscribers sharers in the income of the paper from advertising® In other words we can afford to divide the ad- vertising patronage of the paper with its subscribers, inasmuch as the income from advertising grows with the in- | creased circulation. Advertising space 7| in Tre Begk that was worth one hun- ) | dred dollars five years ago will com- madd one _thousand dollars to-day This fall more goods and machinery have been offered us in exchange for advertising than we could accept in view of the limited spaco we devote for that purpose. What we have con- tracted for makes the grandest and most varied list that has ever been offered for distribution by any news- paper, and that too without paying a aollarin money. The only outlay in cash we expect to incur in connection with these premiums will be for post- age and expressage. This explains exactly Low we procure our premiums and why we can give away property of 80 much value. All the premiums m our list are worth at retail just what we represent them. In contracting with manufac- turers and wholesale dealers we accept them only at wholesale rates, but that does not lessen their value to those who receive them, Tur Bek has for years stood in the front rank of newspapers west of the Mississippi, and to-day cwculates more extensively than any paper west of Chicago and north of St. Louis. A large number of eastern people who desire to procure a far western paper, with a view of soquiring reliable in- - | formation about the resources and de- 1 | velopment of the country west of the Missouri will doubtless avail them- selves of the opportunity now offered them. Having for more than ten years been under one management pursuing 1| course that has established for it pub- - | lic confidence at home and a wide reputation abroad, Trr BEE could not | afford to engage in any undertaking that was not.conducted fairly and hon-| estly. The distribution in 1880 and | 1881 gave general satisfaction to our subscribers. The coming distribution will be made in the same impartial wmanner, by a committee whom the subscribers present may select from own number, and in such man- uer as they think fair and equitable. 0 n ) a pening’| Lust year all the premiums gave good satisfaction, excepting some engray- ings which were not appreciated.

The dry plains of Texas would probably be the most faverable breeding ground. As we pay 30 per birds could be bred with even moder- ate success. The prices for young birds are mueh lower, according to Mr. Reiche, than those mentioned in The Evening Post, here from Nubia at a cost of about $300 apiece and pay a fair profit. Egan, “thejTerror.” Albany Journal. Quiectly swinging a tremendous sledge-hammer under the rude sheds at the west end of the new capitol grounds, there has been at work this winter, a man whose endurance and skill in sparring rank him among the foremost expouents of the “‘manly art” in this country, His name is “Dick” Egan, apd one glauce at his proportions con- vinced our reporter he is, indeed, as his companions style him, ‘““a terror,” No formal steps have yet been taken ia the matter, but it is perfectly well understood that Egan intends, in a short time, to challenge John Sullivan for the championship, and there is abundant reason for believing that he " make things hvely for the 4L tea Boy,” P s not His sk of man to do any boasting of his own prowess, but he has perfect confidence in himself, just the same. Some little time ago, it will be remembered, Sullivan ap- peared iu Troy one evening to give an exhibition of his skill. Although “‘Dick” is at work on the state-house, he has been living in our sister city, and he was present as a spectator at the performance in question. Sulli-| van was easily ‘‘cock of the loft.” He cleaned out every ‘man who appeared against him on the stage, and finally it was announced by his backers that there was $60 in greenbacks deposited with the management, to be handed over to any individual who would stand up for just five minutes in front of the baked-beans pugilist.

With the proof of good faith and honest dealing before them in the numerous acknowledgments we pub- lish, we can safely enter upon our en- ged undertaking of this year, con- fidently belieying that its success will be mutually satisfactory and advan- tageous, E.
