the sheep and ponies.
The size of the aocks owned by the
individual families vary considerably
IN some cases. The number possessed
by the smallest holders is rarely less
than ESQ head. While the more wealthy
have as many as 1000 or more. Some
OF the wealthiest hold at their dis

instances of this kind are few and are
not known to exist in but ten or
twelve cases. OF seventy-seven herds

the average sized flock was found to
be very nearly 700 head, which Is
probably fair estimate for other Sec
tons of the reservation II there Is
any difference elsewhere it will exceed
these figures rather than fall below
them. A herd CT this size will easily
support an average Navajo family Of
two adults and three children. The
wool sold direct to the traders as It is
taken from the sheep should bring

supplied from the herd While no
definite figures are obtainable, it
seems very probable that the Navajos
have on an average 100 sheep per

How it Can be Done in Morris.

The back aches at times with dull,

weary and restless; piercing pains

well to profit by the following exam

Jacob Riis has written a singularly
interesting and instructive newspaper
article on the Danish farmers, which
throws much light on their wonderful
progress. Mr.. Riis says that Den
mark ships to England more than half
million dollars worth of the best
butter in the world at twice the old
price. Her slaughter houses handle
annually large numbers of hogs bred
on home soil and produce bacon Of
superior quality. The value of the
eggs exported is over $7,00O,000 a year.
The Danish farmers have met and
beaten the trusts that formerly robbed
them of a good share of their profits.
They maintain their own selling agen-
cies in London; send their wares
across the North sea in their own
ships, and buy their supplies direct
from the manufacturers at first prices.
Through cooperation the Danish farm
ers have become the most prosperous
agriculturists in the world.

to note that there is no prejudice
