BURROWING OWL'S STOREHOUSE. 



Mr. F. H. Fawcett, of Narrows, Harney county, reports the following 

 about the nesting of a pair of burrowing owls in his locality, which shows 

 this bird is of economic value in destroying harmful animals: 



"One hole, which extended back about six feet and at a depth of 

 about sixteen inches from the surface, seemed to be the storeroom and 

 contained five mice, two gophers, one "sage rat," one young jackrabbit, 

 one crawfish and one beetle. These were buried in dry horse manure which 

 lined the entire length of the burrow. 



"About eighty yards distant was another burrow six or eight feet in 

 length and thirty inches below the surface, containing a nest with ten eggs. 

 The nest was composed of dry horse and cow manure, considerable of the 

 material being scattered about the opening and along the burrow. One 

 dead frog was found just outside. 



' ' Since the one pair of owls was all we could locate in the vicinity, 

 it is quite evident the commissary and the nest belong to the same pair. ' '
