a similar lnsmicr to sheep at home
No piovious knowledge of tho business
is uecossar tho wholo industry being
very pimple and attended with very
little laboi compared to tho raising of
crops
Owing to tho gencrni dryness of
this country n great deal of attention
lias been lev otcd to ostrich farming
in tho last soven or eight years and
as a natural soqucuco tho countiy is
becoming overstocked with birds so
that the colony is not able to support
many more in uud will bo soon-
er or later fenced to llnd an oxport
market for tho surplus birds to coun
tnes similar in climate and natural

This thinly populated country ox
ports noarly 10000000 worth of
