HOW fIOPIS FARM (Continued from nsec 2.) tering places, and the extreme heat forces sheep to drink, as there is no dew, and they never get down before 9 o'clock to herd them. It is very hot here in the sun. On March sth it registered 120 degrees, and I have broken two thermometers, as they would not register high enough; so we don't know the temperature now, but if one is in the shade it is very comfortable, and the evenings are very cool. However, very few of the Hopis wear hats, regardless of the heat. There are a few other strange things. Water boils at a lower temperature. Horses drink but once a day, no matter how often it is offered them; that an Indian never finds his horses, as they are allowed to graze anywhere, but sometimes they are forced to look four or five days, and even the Navajo steal them, yet they never lose them. They can live and never have a cent of money among them. There is no advance in price of flour, meats, etc. School is progressing nicely, with a daily attendance of fortynine, but today two. of our biggest boys left and will work in the beat fields near Rocky Ford, Colo., where they have a better chance at industrial work, and at the same time earn a dollar and a half per day. We put out 415 rations at a total expense of 17.28, gave them meat four days of each week, all the bread they wanted and some fruit. Can it be equalled in Indiana? But, the government gets everything very cheap. Mutton 8c per pound; bacon. 9c; prunes, 3c; likewise dried apples and peaches; and flour at 2c per pound; beans, 2c. So one can see the expense isn’t much for board, but a pair of shoes only lasts them six weeks. However, now they are compelled to go bare-footed. In the service one is required »o practice economy. Sincerely, MR. AND MRS. JARERG. — o— THE MONROE GRIST (Continued from cage I) Keeman, and family, at Fort It ayne.
