Among the things made by In-J
dians in the southwest the Neva.jo I
blankets hold a place, l'hey find |
a market all over the weat and
bring prices ranging from $15 to
$150.
The production of these blankets
is remarkable. The Indians j

convenient horizontal branch of a

* i smaller limb, to which are fa-4
?ned the strings which constitute

" strings are fastened to a similar
bar, which is secured firmly by

ders. So well is the work done
thai, the color does not fade, and
the blankets may be said to be
almost indestructible.
What may be termed a second
grade of blankets is made of Ger
mantown yarn and the design is a
zigzag streak resembling light
ning. Some have a streak of
prismatic colors highly esteemed
by the Indians and purchasers,
yellow, green, red and white^pre
dominating. A beautiful blanket
has a red ground and black, with
white diamond shaped ornamon
tation enclosing much smaller diamonds.
Red is a favorite color,
:
and the red blankets as a rule
cost most. Such blankets are;
very thick and heavy, weighing
from ten to twenty pounds and
cost from $10 to $70.
These are the blankets coin
monly handled by the dealers in
Santa P'e., Albuquerque and bos
Angeles, but there is still another
grade, the highest, which is not
seen by tho tourist and the general
public. It is mado up of
special wool called bolleta, and
imported from dealers in old
Me*koo for this particular purpose.
It costs the Indians from $7 to
S a pound. In making these
blankets the Indians take a long
i
timo. One beautiful specimen j
had a year expended upon it, and j
the designs in red, blue, green!
and white were marvels of beauty !
whether from the Indian or Amor- j
ir.in stnnHnrd Tliio Klotilraf u ,
bought lor $100 and resold lor
double that sum. These three
grades aro made in sizes,the very
smallest being callod the saddle
cloth; next coining tho double
saddles, tho three quarters and j
the fall. The smallest is 12 by j
36 inches,the double 36x54 inch-'
**s, tho next 1x5 feet and tho lar i
gest 5x6.i feet.
The most interesting method of
buying blankets or baskets is to
visit the Indians personally but,
contrary to the general inpression,
it is tho most expensive, as the
Navajos are very clever at a bar
gain. Tho dealers make occasion
nl trips among them, and in many
instances do not uso money but
beads, There is a small, poor
looKing Anon Dea l iound in t lie
graves of the Pacific coast Indians
to which these people attach a
peculiar value.
Coral beads of the tubular
shap* are especially esteemed as
a medium of exchange, and a
string that will go nround the
neck and a foot over, is exchange
able lor a good blanket.
Prevented n Tragedy*
Timely information given Mrs. Geo.
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, prevented
a dreadful tragedy and saved
two lives. A frightful cough had long
kept her awake every night. Sbe had
tried many remedies and doctors but
steadily grew worse until urged to try
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
wholly cured tier, and she writes this
marvelous medicine also cured Mr.
Long of a severe attack of Pneumonia.

a few thoughts, and the very first'

Women as Agriculturists sum!
Stock Kaisers.
According to the census of
1870 less than 100,000 women
were occupied in agricultural
labor either as field hands or
indoor workers in this country.
Of this number, 373,332 were
hired laborers, and 22,681 woro
cultivators of their own lands
says a writer in The Now York
Ilerald.
.In 1880 the number of culti
vators has nearly doubled itself
In 1890 there wore four times
a# many as in 1880, more than
ton times as many as in 1870
numbering 231,720 cultivators, j
The increase in laborers from
1870 to 1890 was loss than a
hundred thousand. When one
thinks of the army of women
who have cone into noultrv
culturo during tlio last ton years
there is no hesitancy in declaring
that since 1800 the increase
has been so great that a hundred
women are now engaged

majority are educated and cultivated.
Some are in partnership with
men, others own and manage I
farms for themselves, while
many manage farms for other
people. Careful investigation
shows that these women havo I
distinguished themselves by
their skill and executive ability.
In some important specialties,
such as poultry raising, fancy j
dairying, flowor seed growing
and the growing of raisins and
nuts, they liavo boon successful
pioneers.
Their farms arc scattered all
j through the country, on the up
lands and in the lowlands,!
among the valleys and even;
Ion the mountain sides. They
! are found in the largest num-j
hers in Illinois, Ohio, New!
York, Indiana, ^Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan. Wisconsin, Pennsyl-|
vunia, Minnesota, Nebraska,!
California, Maine and South
I
Dakota. Nevada, Arizona and ,
Wyoming contain less than ai
Ifundred each.
Some are cultivating their
thousands of acres, using the;
steam engine as a ploughman.!
The majority conduct fartns of
more than 100 acres, while a!
few are contented with a single
acre, depending on the spade
aiul hoe.
Women load in poultry culture.
T :ov began a decade ago. It has
b"o i in uphill struggle against
prejudices. Few, it is said, make
a failure of i!, and the time, they
claim,will . oon come w hen women
will control the industry here in
America. It pays ? greater in
torost on the investment than
any other branch of farming.
For handling cows, both in
I dairying and in stock breeding, |
j women are particularly fitted.!
Custom has made them familiar
with the care of dairy products.
The cow i" a mother, and must he
housed, fed and handled in oho 1
dience to the best, expression o<
maternity. In all the conditions
which must surround that function
womanly instinct, is wiser
than manly judgment.
A writer in Holland speaking
i of the cattle of that country, says:
"The cattle of Holland are han-l
dh-d and oared for largly by the
1 women of Holland, hence the
j famous cattlo of Holland."
Fruits and flowers respond to.
| women like magic. Some of
j the most successful horticulturists
of California arc women,
managing thousands of acres of
walnuts, raisins and oranges
Jin Forida, in 1895, "the great)
j freeze" diminished the number
of women farmers and horticuli
turists. which had aggregated
nearly two thousand, by about
one-half. Many women of the
1 stato who were originally
simply interested in orange,
groves became truck farmers,
I market gardeners and general
i fruit growers while their devastated
