Only keleton reminders of the glories of the past remain at the ostrich farm of the African Ostrich Farm Feather company at Espy, Columh'a county, Charles Reice, local agent for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been commissioned by the state to arrange for the feeding of the remaining ostriches that have been literally Marvins to death for some time. William H. Hlle, whoso mind gal'e 1 birth to the northern ostrich farm Idea, now understood 10 he interested In a project of making gasoline ouf 'of mountain rock in Pittsburgh. Several years ago came the red letter dav In Bloomsburgs life, resulting from the coming of Htle with four ostriches. men he claimed to have bn ught from Africa.

And how tic did talk of his project. The future for all Investors in tne ostrich farm would be lined with limousines, jewels beyond description, bank accounts of gigantic proportions, etc. He told of the great value of ostrich feathers, he told of how octriches work almost night and day making money for their owncra. Ho pictured the day when there would be hundreds of ostriches on the farm, when cars would be required to transport the ostrich feathers to New York, Boston, etc. Then he dwelt upon the English cooperative Idea.

Next came a stock selling campaign. From msny people of Luzerne and Columbia counties and a few from Scranton and other parts of Lackawanna county thero came subscriptions. As the money poured in new shipments of ostriches came to the farm. And Hile proved that ostriches do lay eggs and that baby ostriches are hatched. But the babies lived only a short time.

When time proved that It wasn't profitable to breed and raise ostriches tmhe1iftrdclimateTfT the north, stock sales suffered a sev ere slump. Then the crash came. Later an effort was made to revive the industry. This died after additional thousands of dollars had been thrown into the treasury. Now the farm Is In mins.

The few ostriches of the once family of fifty are staggering around the yi-1. toc -weak from hunger to harelv walk. The fences are down; the farm is in ruins. When Agent Reice visited th farm, two dead birds were In the yard and a wagon was hauling some car-cassses to the fertilizer plant. The remainder of the stock may be killed or shipped to the south.
