WOMEN ON THE SOUTH
DAKOTA FARMS WORK
Helped Very Materially in Gath
ering IN OF the Big
Crops.
THEY DID MANUAL LABOR
Women and Girls Drove Big Teams On
Binders and Headers and Were
Very Successful in All Their
Operations.

Scotland. s. d, oct. s3.-It Is not
generally known that women played n
very important part in the gathering
OF the vast grain crops OF the prosper
GUS South Dakota farmer, but IL Is
n fact hat n large part OF tho manual
labor was performed by women and
girls.
The woman on South Dakota farms
In not unlike her sister ON the farms
OF other states, but circumstances
prompted her TO take up this kind OF
occupation. When the farmer alw the
vast fields of wheat and oats and other
grains waving yellow and loaded with
rich yielding heads he was perplcxed
TO find sufficient help To- garner the
grain. Men were scurCcr and many
times could not be had ut the best OF
wages. The alternative was To call on
the women They responded nobly and
20 see women and girls driving six
horses hltched To n binder or header
In this part OF the state was no unusual
sight. Those who could not be used
rs drivers worked as ordinary men In
tho fields or at other mental labor.
Among the Russians In this county
ome did most OF the work this year.
They all went at their tasks with light
hearts and the farmer smiled when no
saw his fields rcapcd n the grain
gathered ia stacks or thrcshed.
Women n girls when they worked
away from home were paid as high rs
s2.5O per day with their board TO work
I'm the fields this summcr Farmers
say that In many cases they We're pre-
fcrable TO men as they could be trusted
farther.
Women In this state arc also playing
n very important part IN the handling
OF political AFFAIRS. There is no lay
in the state that says n woman cannot
be n governor and already several are
holding the Office OF county supcrin-
tcndent OF schools. Other offices have
been filled with great honor by women.
AZ the same time the women OF South
Dakota make the very best wives to
be had in the land.

PRAIRIE HEN IS PASSING.
A Few More Years Of Slaughter an
the Bird Will Hc Extinct.

Armour, :. D.. Oct. aS.-The proud,
valiant prairie chicken once 10 numcr-
ous on the broad expanses OF South
Dakota Is passing n I'm n half dozen
years will be As extinct as the noble
bison. The greed OF the pot hunter
and game hog has been making sad
inroads on the most beautiful bird OF
which this state Fan boast. The waving
prairies where onCc the prairie hen
could rear her brood and teach them
the ways OF their fathers. and where
they could fly for miles and miles with
put the haunting wire fence or tele-
graph pole. are now cut up by the
farmer. and the bird IN lett no re-
serves.
only n few years ago this state was
well filled with chickens. as well as
other game OF the %fCathcrCd tribe. but
they have all now been crowded Ia
the extreme borders OF tho state where,
IN strange environments. they rear
with difficulty small docks.
Each fall q few hundred OF the sur
vivors wander back To the prairies they
love, only to be gobblcd up by the
greedy and VorIcious hunter who
knogss no sympathy and gives 40 guar
ter.
AT railway stations all over South
Dakota since the season opened and the
birds are unprotected they are being
shipped "a every place In disguised
packages and IL is alleged with the full
knowledge OF the express agent who
has "A small commission. In Charles
Mix county not n solitary warden was
appointed this year aud the hunter is
doing his share with no mercy ana In
defiance OF the state law. This is one
OF the reasons why IN only n few years
the pretty prairie hen will be "A bird ex-
tinct In this state.
The birds have been slaughtered since
the first OF September. Market shoot
ere are making a good thing from tho
profits they 80 numerically gain. \
few OF the gunncrs have been caught
and held TO the action nf the law. but
the penalty IL so light that they set 40
example for the guidance OF the yio-
lator.
IL Is "A sight not at all rcslishcd by
