Barnum had been a farmer, he would have had a farm like this. The man wto built a career on the gramfiose public display of lan and animal oddities -- although he's most commonly assort start with the circus -- would never had settled for a barnyard of more chickens, cows and pigs. Raymond Tobias, although cut from A less flamboyant mold than Barnum, has settled for no leas than would have the man "The Greatest Show on Earth' Tobii fobias calls his "greatest show" Lake Tobias ana Animal Raven. It's a family farm gone wild -- and luckily public--with aspira­ tions of being both a too and a safari park in the tiny Det County village of along Route 2S5 between EUxabethville and Halifax. The traditional barnyard flocks of chickens scratch and peck through the dust By their side, a velvety green and blue 14 buffalo munches on the grass. Elk and their European red deer, as well as i of the two spedes, roam 140-acre site. Herds of smaller sika deer from the Orient and broad-anOered fallow deer from Europe drift along with them. Wild Barbados and Mouflon sheep from Europe and Africa m«hi their al«wio | steep hillside covered with their trails. In a separate, more thickly wooded area, a herd of more than 90 whitetail deer tries to dude the eyes of all passers-by. "You ride a specially design­ ed cruise. Nootnerlike it in&e world," reads the park's brochure. That translates into several old school buses, their halves long gone,' a smaller or a Australian! take a peck at the dirt, pens bouse dosens of the common poultry's more ex- ot feathers. slosh through the shallows of the small lake. A dromedary camel and a cross between s horse and a zebra watch from nearby line white rabbits rn wall. A few hops away a jackrabbit and an African relative, the marsh hare, lounge about another cage. They are in the company of a coatimundi, a tropical version of ths raccoon. Cattle grsae on the partly wooded, partly grassy pasture. But these are not the Holstein or Jersey herds of other nearby farms. These are Scott Highlands, the long-haired cows ninmamad "hippie cows," and Tibetan yak. On another part of the fenced-in expense s herd of roads ***** crisscross the steep hill-and-valley terrain. The traditional steel bars and plexiglass windows of most soos won't be found on this tour. A few feet--sometimes a few inches-- of air is all that separates man ^om animal Each stop on the casusl, but in­ formative 40-minute tour is a new adventure, as a different herd of animals surrounds the bus for a handout, or meanders nearby, apparently interested in the visitors as the humans are in­ terested in them. Tobias can remember when the farm, where be was born and raiaed and now lives, was still a typical farm. That was before 1960 and the arrival of a pair of red deer, a few fallow deer and a mW nerd of sika deer. The building that began with the introduction of those few non- farm animals continues today, 18 opened to the public in IS The park, irhich is a hobby for Tobias, consumes an additional 350 acres of farmland to grow foods for the animals. It costs ap- $2,500 pa* month the winter to buy even more food. The part is open weekends and holidays from May through Oc­ tober. Tobias estimates that 10,000 people take the bouncy safari ride each year, a number that Mwlff many school and church groups.
