Women as AgriculturiSts and

According to the census Of
1870 less than 100000 women
were occupied in agricultural
labor either as field hands or

OF this number, 373, 1892 were
hired laborers, and % ,6S1 wore

says a writer in The New York

ten times as many as in 1870

ders. So well is the work done
that 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
ming. Some have streak of
prismatic colors highly esteemed
by the Indians aud purchasers,
yellow, green, red and whitespre
dominating. A beautiful blanket
has a red ground and black, with
white diamond shaped ornamen.
tation enclosing much smaller dia-
monds. 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 SO to SO.
These are the blankets com
monty handled by the dealers in
Santa Fe., Albuquerque and Los
Angeles, but there is still another
grade, the highest, which is not
seen by the tourist and the gen
eral public. 1t is made up of
special wool called bolleta, and
imported from dealers in old
meNco for this particular purpose.
1t costs the Indians from ST to
SIS a pound. In making these
blankets the Indians take a long
time. One beautiful specimen
had a year expended upon it, and
the designs in red, blue, green
and white were marvels, of beauty
whether from the Indian or Amer
lean standard. This blanket was
bought for 800 and resold for
double that sum. These three
grades are made in sizes, the very
smallest being called the saddle
cloth; next coming the double
saddles, the three quarters and
the full. The smallest is y by
36 inches, the double 36x54 inch
es, the next 4x5 feet and the lar.
gest 5x6i feet.
The most interesting method OF
buying blankets or baskets is TO
visit the Indians personally but,
contrary to the general Impression,
it is the most expensive, as the
Navajos are very clever at bar.
gain. The dealers make occasion
al trips among Them, and in many
instances do not use money but
beads, There is a small, poor
looking shell bead found in the
graves Of the Pacific coast Indians
to which these people attach a
peculiar value.
Coral beads Of the tubular
shape are especially esteemed as
a medium of exchange, and
string that will go around the
neck and a foot over, is exchange
able for a good blanket.

blankets hold place. they find

bring prices ranging from SIS to
$3.50.
The production of these blan-
kets is remarkable. The Indians
