An ostrich farm is merely a large grassy enclosurein which are placed a few ostriches. It is customary tohatch the eggs by means of an incubator, it havingbeen found that the important point in hatching eggs isto keep them constantly at the same temperature as thebody of the bird when she is sitting. For this purpose alarge chest is used with sliding drawers, between whichare vats filled with hot water. The eggs are snuglywrapped in flannel and placed in the drawers, where theyremain six weeks before hatching, and great care is takento imitate the natural method as closely as possible. 10.

Its wingsare extremely small, andthey are armed with fivenaked quills. 13. The Apteryx.—Most curious of all therunning-birds is the ap-teryx, which is foundnowhere but in NewZealand.
