Preservation Of Winged Creatures
Is Object Of an Iowa
Society.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sheldon, Iowa, Dec. MANY farm
ers near here are forming what they
will call The Bird Friends society,"
Farmers have been studying the use of
various birds to their growing crops,
mostly against the crow, blackbird and
bluejay than formerly, for it has been
proven that these birds aid the farmer
more than they hurt him. James
O'Brien is president of the society.
The swallow, swift and nightingale
are the guardians of the atmosphere,
feeding on the wing and taking from
the air those forms Of insects that
might endanger the fruit trees.
Woodpeekers, chickadees and creep
ers are the guardians of the trunks
OF trees, eating the grubs that iniure
the bark of fruit or ornamental trees.
Blackbirds, thrushes, crows and larks
protect the soil, eating the worms and
insects that injure the corn, wheat and
oats. They scarcely partake of corn
except In the autumn.
The. snipe and woodcock are the
guardians Of the subsoil, reaching far
larve and insects that would soon at
tack the roots Of the growing crops.
The long prosecuted crow is really
the farmers friend, for he DESTROYS
more insects than the average bird and
rarely pulls up the corn, as alleged. He
has been known to have eaten 200
grasshoppers in single hour.
The pretty quail, whose life has been
spared bv the hunter only because of
the laws of several states, eats the
weedseeds which would otherwise scat
ter, and is also a good feeder on insect
life.
The grouse Of the west as well as
the east is prolific eater Of grubs
and grasshoppers and all forms Of in.

Sheridan, Wyo., Dec. 1.-State Treas
urer Irvine and wife are in Sheridan
to be with their daughter Edna in her
trial for attempted murder in the first
degree in the district court, to which
she was bound over in October for the
shooting of ranch foreman named
Nickerson. With Mr.. Irvine was Sem
ator Model of Cheyenne, who made a
personal request that Edna be allowed
to 60 to the Big Red ranch till the trial,
as she is constantly subjected to dis
agreeable publicity. The request was
denied. ..''T%} T.,
Miss Irvine has been staying at the
home of her attorney since her arrest.
The lrvines are one of the most
wealthy and socially prominent families
in Wyoming, Mr.. Irvine being one of
the few remaining old-time cattle bar
ons, coming to- the state thirty-one
years ago. He was strongly sup
ported for governor at the fall election
in place of Governor Brooks.
Edna is not more than 10, slight and
muscular, and no one could guess she

mother, dressed exquisitely and with
every mark of the young belle At

Reporter Beaten Up,
And the case is exciting the keenest
interest all over Wyoming; a young
reporter on one of the local papers has
been trying to get snap shot of the
young lady. She has avoided him till
yesterday, when he secured five expos;
ures. She returned to the hotel and
reported the affair." Late in the even
ing the reporter was found unconscious
station. His camera was broken and
laid beside him, the exposures de-
stroyed. He was terribly beaten and
was carried to his home where he lay
unconscious till this morning. He vows
that as soon as he is able to be about
again he will get another picture and
carry gun till he gets it back to the
office. Mr.. Irvine vows that if he in
suits his daughter again he will kill
him. - =. =.
Prosecution Threatened.
Nickerson, who was shot by Miss
calves she was bringing up, has a guard
of his friends, as he IS constantly
threatened with death if he appears
again against Miss Irvine. He is
Mormon, well-to-do and swears he will
see her punished.
Miss Irvine has been for two years
pupil at DR.. Fleetwood s fashionable
school near Chicago, and was to have
returned a few days later than the one
on which she shot the foreman of her
father s ranch. He has recovered, but
will be lame always, as the ball entered
his hip.

WHAT SOUTH DAKOTA OWES 70 IT'S ARTEsIAN SEA

Faulk counties about 900 feet, while
in counties farther west and nearer
the Missouri river, as Walworth- and
Potter, water can be found at a. depth
Of from 1000 to 1920 feet.
The average cost of an inch and a
quarter well is from 5000 to $500. A
well of this character will throw seven
ty-fve gallons a minute, with terrific
force.
From this artesian well the farmer
has an inexhaustible supply Of water,
which he can pipe to any portion of
his farm he may desire. The force Of
the we'll itself is sufficient to carry the
water and power to run what ma
chinery he may need on his farm.
From the overflow he forms artificial
lakes, which are a constant nourish-
ment to, the soil and afford an ele-
ment Of added beauty and variety to
the landscape. Many farmers in the
artesian belt are planting trees about
becoming bowers Of beauty.
) In addition to the water supply and
all that it means in added convenience
and a constant and perpetual insurance
against drought, the farmer can util-
aize the power of his well for other
purposes. It is not an unusual thing
to. find a South Dakota farm equipped
WITH an 0loCLT1Cs Dynamo Tunig Dy UQ0
power furnished by his well. His house
and barn are lighted by the electricity
which he is thus enabled to manufac-
ture at a minimum COST In this way
an investment Of $500 will give him
unlimited water and unlimited free
power for lighting, grinding, milling
and other purposes: = = .s
Source in the Rockies
The water which is, working this
transformation comes from great un-
derground river, or, more properly, un-
derground sea, which probably has its
source in the Rocky mountains. The
melting SHOWS from the mountain peaks
feed this great underground flow,
which is thus conserved for the use OF
the South Dakota farmer.
While artesian wells have already
done much for South Dakota, it is safe
to say the revolution which has been
accomplished is but the beginning of
greater change. Inventive genius
will discover yet cheaper method of
digging them, and the great underground
reservoir will be tapped in thousands
Of places, scattering it's largess upon
the soil.
With an artesian we'll and few
pipe lines to various parts of his farm,
the South Dakota farmer can snap his
finger at the menace of dry seasons
