that we should patronize home Indus

How an Oitrich Eats Oranges.
At the Cawstiui ostrich farm In Houth
Pasadena, Cal., there Is a veteran bird
called Kmpemr Will la in. The Kinperor
makes a dally practice uf catching In
midair oranges which are thrown to
him and gulping them down whole.
He has been known to hare as many
as a dozen of the big round fruit going
down bis slim neck at once, making
the latter look not unlike a string of
Immense beads. Although be baa on
several occasions eaten as many as
thirty-five or forty oranges In succes
sion, he Is Iu good health at the ripe
ostrich age of twenty-three years. The
food seems to agree with him.
