DICK HUYL.
The writer owes to Dick Huyl a debt,
sot exactly of gratitude, as the story
will demonstrate, which she, by writing
iiis biography, seeks to discharge. . Dick
Hvyl's history will never be written by
-sac, nor by any one else who knew him,
o adorn a Sunday school library; he
-was not that kind of a boy. Dick was
jus Apache Indian, with all the character
istics of total depravity that the word
.Apache conveys or suggests. We were
children together, Dick and L We lived,
fought and played together for two years
ia the same army post. On one memor
able occasion, Dick, instigated by the
devil for 1 firmly believe in the. devil,
if only for Apaches dropped jiown the
neck of my frock a live toad. It was
the cause of my first fit of hysterics, and
1 determined, if I ever grew old enough,
I would tell the whole world how bad a
jonng Apache conld be.
in 1872. if 1 remember rightly. Gen.
'Crook had succeeded, after 1 years of
bloody war and the loss of hundreds of
. good men, in subduing most of the bands
composing the Apache nation of New
Mexico and Arizona. They had dwelt
the strongholds of mountain and
'desert, ' from which they frequently
is.in.rged to rob and murder all miners
Mniorvilji f.rm.r. thAT cnnld rnnhndh.
leaving nothing for the human mind to
conceive of in the way of cruelty when
ever a white man fell into their power.
At the reservation, although they were
well fed and quite decently treated, it
wu necessary to watch them constant
ly '3j, and large bodies of troops ' were de
tailed for that purpose. Nevertheless,
' acarcely a week passed bat a small squad
of Apaches, usually led by some attract
ive squaw, would slip quietly past the
. guards and escape through tbe darkness
into their beloved cactus plains and
. mountain barrens. Roll call nearly every
aocning developed these absentees, and
next day would come news of murder,
rapine and horrors generally. A favorite
- Apache mode of disposing of the unsus
pecting freighter, miner - or emigrant
-whose camp they had succeeded in raid
ing;, was to tie the victim by the four
limbs to stakes, and then to build a fire
-oai that portion of his body designated
ia the old fashioned almanacs as " virgo.'
There seemed to be something par
ticularly fast ana ting to the Apache tern--perament
in this form of torture. Death
being long in coming, it gave the squaws
mall torments, on the side, as it were.
The women and children emigrants
Vat enough. Suffice it to say that the
absolute hatred entertained by these In
dians for the whites was . fully recipro
cated, especially by the soldiers. It was
no easy matter to track and successfully
follow the runaways through the cactus
and wesquit thickets, over the barren
deaerte and desolate mountains that
sake up the topography of Arizona.
JBnt in that parched country water is
only to be found at certain springs and
"water holes," between which days of
travel often intervene, but which are
.qnally well known to soldiers and to
Indians.
So when the morning report showed
to Gen. Crook that so many warriors.
4sqnaws and pappooees were missing, the
grim old warrior would make no sign of
"parsmt. but on the night following, or
perhaps the next one, a squadron of
mounted men would file silently out of
- the reservation bearing orders . to move
. as rapidly as passible to the water hole
of Palo Pinto, or to Agna Grande
Spring, or to some other place where
fiie presence of the precious fluid favored
a camping place for the renegades. The
troops were always positively instructed
to bring back no prisoners, all matters
of detail being left to the officers in com
mand. One June morning there was re
ported missing eight Indians, eleven
aquaws and pappooses, including Wah
nemo, than whom a more depraved and
cruel Indian never existed, even in An
zona.
Two nights afterward a squad of the
Twenty-third infantry, Crook's own reg
iment, under Liieut. iiuyi, a splendid
young fellow, who has since left the
service, was sent out on a scout with the
usual orders. No trace of the renegades
was found, but a burned ranch and stage
station and a cremated cowboy gave suf
' ficient evidence of Indians at large. The
next night, or rather just at dawn, after
' a long and fatiguing march, the scouts
reached a natural rock basin at the foot
of one of the steepest and most inacces
sible knobs to be found in desolate An
Bona. This basin bad often collected
opply of acrid water, which, however,
was drinkable enough in that country.
. A thin vapor of smoke from a nearly
.spent fire convinced the troopers that
their night's inarch had not been in vain.
and on creeping up as close as possible
the hostiles were outlined against the
rocks, fast asleep.
The little squadron silently deployed
cut so as to avoid missing a single shot.
Mixd at the word of command fired, kill
ing nearly every one of the Indians,
The others jumped up only to be cut
down by the reserve fire. The only two
unhurt were Wahnemo and his 4-year-
-old pappoose. Grasping the child, he
prang for the mountain side, scaling the
. rocks like a chamois, amid a shower of
bullets, soon distancing his pursuers and
-getting out of range of their rifles. Halt
ing on a shelf of rock, he set the child
down and proceeded to indulge in every
I exhibition if contempt and derision that
! bis imagination conld invent to aggra-
? i .T ; j 3 . a . i
gnashed their several sets of ' teeth in
rage at the insults of. the old heathen.
They were relieved at last by the arrival
of Lieut. Huyl, who bore in his hand a
new target rifle, received only the day
before the scouts started. .
ThiB wonderful gun was guaranteed
to carry I forget 1,100 yards with ac
curacy, and the lieutenant, who was one
of the best fellows in the world in garri
son, but quite cold hearted and blood
thirsty where -Apaches were concerned.
announced that while he was doubtful
of. bis 'gun carrying near the Indian,
yet he was going to try. The Apache,
feeling secure against their carbines.
continued his taunts until Huyl, taking
deliberate aim, with sights raised for
1,500 yards, fired. His aim was true.
and the gun all that it was boasted.
The old savage plunged face forward
over the ledge, and crashed down the
rocky mountain .side at the very feet of
his slayer.
The attention of the soldiers was now
directed to the pappoose the subject of
this sketch. That interesting infant
still calmly occupied the ledge and was
evidently turning the situation over in
his mind. The troopers, with Lieut.
Huyl at their head, slowtv and painfully
clambered up tbe rocks and finally ap
proached the orphan, who, instead of
squalling as a civilized Christian child
would have done, commenced throwing
stones at his pursuers, hitting . Lieut.
Huyl squarely on the nose with a half
pound rock and drawing blood copiously.
He followed this success by other good
throws, causing as nearly a panic as pos
sible. At last, by flanking him, our
Apache was knocked down by a blow
from a saber and stunned. His capture
was now easy, but the lieutenant's or
ders were to return no prisoners.
What shall we do with the little
devil?" asked one of the men. "Shoot
him or throw him over the cE-fiC after his
father?" The "little devil" had re
gained consciousness by this time, and
deliberately set his teeth into the calf -of
the soldier's leg. Lieut. Huyl wiped his
bloody nose and replied: "A baby wno
fights this way ought not to be killed in
cold blood. By George, IH take him
back to San Carlos if it costs me my
commission!
A gag was put into tbe young one s
mouth to prevent any more biting, and
with a soldier holding each hand he was
landed on the plain below. There he
was placed on horseback, a lariat tied to
one foot, passed under the horse and tied
to the other, and thus the troopers re
turned to the reservation.
Lieut. Huyl was a great favorite with
Gen. Crook, but be bad disobeyed or
ders and confidently expected to be put
under arrest. But the general had al
ready beard something of the stone
tnrowing aitair, and had . enjoyed a
hearty laugh over Huyl's broken nose.
When tbe lieutenant in making his re
port reached the point where Wahnemo
was lulled the general interrupted with.
ay tne way, x tunic you bad better not
let me know officially any more of this
scout than you have already told."
Then glancing at the swollen nose be
burst into a roar of laughter, in which
all the other officers joined.
The young Indian was confined in the
armory until his first fright was over
come. The soldiers of Company A
named him Dick Huyl, and fitting him
out with a uniform fashioned from the
lieutenants' old clothes regularly adapted
him into the service.
In less than a month the small recruit
learned to express himself tolerably in
English, and in a very short time had
accumulated all the accomplishments of
tobacco chewing and profanity possessed
by the soldiers. He also picked np a
wonderful knowledge of bugle calls and
evolutions, always turning out at, roll
calls and taking his place at the extreme
left of the company when in line.
Wheu I first knew him he had- been
under the refining influences of the
United States service two years. If that
Indian had 1 improved in that time I am
very glad I did not know him before.
He was not beautiful according to classic
standards.
The Apaches flatten the heads of their
babies between boards, and this, as much
as ' anything else, served to render Dick
unattractive to us children. Then . he
had such a predilection for carrying
snakes in bis pocket. The soldiers
spoiled him, of course, and upheld him
in every villainy he chose to perpetrate.
When he shot the mules in an ambu
lance filled with women and children,
causing a runaway and a smashrrp, one
soldier thrat t ed him with a barrel stave,
and a dozen more gave him five cent
pieces to comfort him. They alternate
ly pounded and petted, but it was all
one to him. He seldom laughed and
never cried; he was an Apache.
i said ne never cried, i will note an
exception. , Every Saturday afternoon
tne men took him out behind tne quar
ters ana gave mm a bath. This process
was very simple. They stripped off his
clothing and turned the hose on him.
On these occasions the shrieks of the lit
tle savage could be heard all over the
post, -
- I have not seen Dick since I was 9
years old, but I like to think that he
grew up and regularly enlisted in the
old regiment and is now an honor to the
service. "Spusskerriwe" in New York

HOV DEEP TO PLANT. POTATOES.
Answers Gained by Some Very Interest
tag Experiments.
While no one depth can be named as
best in all soils, it is a fact that the old
method of rather shallow planting and
hilling up around the growing plants
has, by many potato growers, been super
ceded by deep planting and compara
tively level culture. In 1888, on The
Rural New Yorker's experiment grounds,
three ont of live rows of a small plot
were by high culture and fertilizing
made' to produce at the rate of 1,076, 6S3
and 605 bushels to the acre, respectively.
The seed was planted in trenches 8 inches
deep and 12 inches wide. No one has
experimented, more, on the -subject of
deep or shallow planting than Mr. Car
man, who conducted these experiments.
The following are given as the average
results for three seasons' trial on The
Rural grounds on a different soil. -
At S inches deep, 246 bushels per acre.
At 4 Inches deep, 239 bushels per acre.
At 0 inches deep, 233 bushels per acre. -At
8 inches deep, 257 bushels per acre.
At 10 inches deep. 240 bushels per acre.
The soil was naturally poor and thin
and had never received any manure.
For the three trials mentioned Mapes'
potato fertilizer was used each year at
the rate of 1,000 pounds to the acre. As
seen above, the fourteen inch trenches
give the largest yield as the average of
three years' experiments on tins kind of
land.' As reported by. The. American
Agriculturalist, the late Alfred Rose, of
Penn Yah., N. Y., raised in 1889' 1,039
bushels as a single season's crop from
two separate plantings on the same acre.
Trenches eight inches deep were graded
to an even depth of six inches. The
seed was dropped in the bottom of these
trenches and covered with two inches of
soil. As the plants grow the soil is
gradually filled in. Other experiments
with large results from similar modes of
culture, including the great crop of Mr.
C. B. Coy, of 738 bushels from a single
planting, on one acre, might be men
tioned.
Line as m fertiliser- and Insecticide.
In a paper read before the Society for
the Promotion of Agricultural Science
J. B. Smith bad the following to 6ay
about lime:
Lime is in general use as a fertilizer,
and to a limited extent also as an insecti
cide. Testimony as to its value is con
flicting, and this I am convinced is due
to the condition when applied. Lime
used as an insecticide ought to be in the
form of a dry hydrate. To shell or stone
lime just enough water is to be added to
slake; then sift through a moderately
fane seive. and dust on the insects when
they are wet. Only soft bodied insects
can be reached by this substance, and
the application mrwt be so made that the
caustic properties of the lime may have
a chance. The larvae of the potato beetle
and asparagus beetle are good subjects,
and testimony of its effectiveness on the
cabbage -worm is not -wanting. ,
Bcsawing Seed.
There is no question about the wisdom
of renewing seed, and especially small
grains, from a distance. Grain that has
been repeatedly sown in tbe same vicin
ity will ."run out" that is, have a grad
ually weaker vitality, and to resist these
adverse conditions we must renew the
life of the seed. Renewals from the
same county or the same parallel of lati
tude are not sufficient, but the new seed
should be brought from a locality that
has essentially different climatic condi
tions. The general principle, according
to Field and Farm, is that we should
work from the north toward the south
in these renewals, but this rule,' of
course, has its limitations from' natural
causes. With wheat and oats the same
seed should not be used for more than
three successive seasons.
Killing; Boss.
It is not altogether easy to describe
the process known as sticking a hog, but
with the assistance of a cut Prairie
Farmer manages to make it understood.
To begin right get the hog securely in
a pen that will just hold him. Stun him
by a blow sharply given in the forehead,
with a pole ax or similar weapon, half
way between the eyes and top of the
head, or shoot him in the forehead with
a revolver. Then before the animal be
gins to struggle turn him square on his
back, place a foot on each side of the
head, facing the animal, hold the head
. 8TICKDJO HOO.
down to the ground by placing the left
hand on the snout. Now place the point
of the knife a seven-inch blade is long
enough for any hog on the animal's
throat, at. the same time looking over
the carcass, and push tbe knife in a
straight line in the direction of the root
of the tail, as shown. Withdraw . the
knife quickly, and a gnshing stream will
follow it out.
The idea is to cut the aorta, the great
artery rising from the left ventricle of
the heart. If you do not stick just right
the first one you will see why when the
hog is opened.. " A . little observation,
however, will soon enable you to become
expert.
Multipolar lrfw Speed Motors.
The principal elevator builders in New'

these low speed machines are being con

The motors are equipped with self oiling
