A RICH REDSKIN.
Chief Splitlog the Wealthiest
Indian in the World.
A Strange Combination of Opu¬
lence and Ignorance.
A writer in tho Denver (Col.) News
says: 1 liavo just returned from a
trip through Arkansas and Indian
Territory, and in tlio course of my
travels I mot what I never expected to
see in this world—a millionaire Indian.
1 had heard of this unique personage,
hut was not prepared to meet sucli a
strange combination of opulence and
ignoiance. Hois known as Matthias
Splitlog, the chief of tho Wyandotte
tribe, and is a powerfully built man,
5 feet 8 incites tall, with a swarthy
countenance, hut not the high cheek
b ines usually found in the Indian.
This is accounted for from the fact
(hat Splitlog is a half-breed, liaving
been h ru in Canada and afterwards
adopted into the Wyandotte tribe in
1843, before its removal from North¬
ern Ohio to the West. Splitlog is now
70 years old and caunot read or write.
He speaks English imperfectly, but is
a great inoncy-gettcr and is constantly
growing richer by the advance upon
tlie thousands of acres of lands which
lie owns in Southwestern Missouri and
the Indian Territory.
A story will give an idea of the old
chiefs manner of transacting business.
About two years ago a syndicate of
Kansas City capitalists persuaded him
to part with 140 acres of land on the
Kiev bStioins between the two Kansas
City*, for $140,000. The trade was
to lie completed at one of the banks on
Minnesota avenue, Kansas City, Kan.,
at 10 o’clock on a certain morning.
Promptly a few minutes before the
time Splitlog walked into the hank and
took a scat, lie kepi his eye on the
clock, and as tho hands pointed to the
hour of 10, and the other party liad
not yet materialized, the chief put on
his hat and started down the avenue.
At a short distance he met the capital¬
ists on their way to close the bargain.
They said they were ready for busi¬
ness.
‘.‘Not to-day,” replied the chief.
Knowing that persuasion would bo
useless, they asked when he would
meet them.
“To-morrow, 10 o’clock,” was the
lac jnic response.
At 10 o’clock all were present at the
hank.
“Can’t sell for $140,000; must have
$160,000,” said the Wyandotte chief.
Tho surprised purchasers hold a
hasty council, and decided that they
must hustle up the $160,000 or tho
figures would go still higher. They
raised $20,000 more and counted out
the money in crisp greenbacks. As
the chief saw the paper money he
shook his head.
“Can’t take paper; must have gold,”
said he.
Quickly half a dozen hacks wero
called and the banks of Kansas City
were ransacked for the required
amount of the yellow metal. After it
was fixed upon a table before the
chief ha pawed it over like a miser
and then said:
“Give ’em deed.”
The money was deposited In tho
bank, hut Splitlog would have opened
his eyes hud he seen the 6ame hacks
used in collecting the gold receiving it
again and being driven rapidly back
to Missouri. That 140 acres of land
is now selling at the rate of $2,000,000
and proved one of the host specula¬
tions ever entered into at the mouth of
the Kaw.
Splitlog is married and 1ms seven
children. He never stops at a hotel
when visiting Kansas City, Kan.,
where lie owns valuable property, but
always puts up with a colored man
who is one of his tenants. One of
Splitlog’s daughters is married to a
colored man. Ho is building a rail¬
way in Southwest Missouri. There is
rather a peculiar history given of the
origin of his name. At (lie time of his
birth his mother was at work with
other Indian women In a field near a
log that had been split. As she gave
birth to him near that log lie was
christened “Splitlog.” He is still ro¬
bust and active and bids fair to live to
a great age.
Execution of a Revolutionary Traitor.
Ou June 28, 1776, in a field near
the “Bowery lane,” in tho presence of
20,000 spectators, there was hanged by
order of General Washington one
Thomas Hickey, a private of his own
body guard, convicted of treasonable
correspondence with the enemy. It
was an anxious time, as more fully
appeared on the following day. Iu
his orderly book Washington expressed
a hope that the unhappy fate of Thom¬
as Hickey, executed that day for mu¬
tiny, sedition and treachery, would bo
a warning to every soldier in the line
to avoid the 'crimes for which be suf-
fered.—[New York Sun,

FOK FARM AM) UAltDEN.
CAPONTZING.
Caponing has como to he as much
a part of poultry keeping for profit
or, in othor words, for market, as is
fattening, and is more generally
practiced than is generally supposed.
The advance in value as a food product
is close upon fifty per cent, and
poultry rearers are asking themselves
why they should not make this; that
is, why, if rearing a fowl for market,
they should not strive for increased
weight of a quality that will bring in¬
creased price.—[Financier’s Journal.
GROOMING.
Comparatively few animals are
properly groomed. A farmer’s son
may clean the colt, but the old horse
that daily performs the drudgery of
the farm seldom lias the dust, dirt, and
sweat thoroughly removed from his
sensitive skin that plays so important
a part in iris hcalthfulncss. If the im¬
portance of grooming could he im¬
pressed ui)on farmers, and they would
practice what they learn, it would ndd
many years to the valuable service of
farm animats. An important part of
grooming is hand-rubbing. The legs
of some horses arc liable to swell, and
there is no remedy so successful as
hand-rubbing. The currycomb should
never be used on the bony parts of
the head or on the legs. A good bed
is not only a comfort to the tired
horse, but it also saves much labor in
grooming. —[American Agriculturist.
SELECTING HE IF E RS.
Selecting heifers is one of the finest
of tine arts in dairy practice. Every
man h .s his hobbies in this matter,
and there never was a club made big
enough to beat it out of him. That
there arc outward signs of inward
goodness, everybody claims, even
with a trotting horse, though the
breeders of trotters have formulated
the saying that “thoy go in all forms.”
So it is to a very great extent witli
cows; they yield milk and butter in
all form*.
At the same time there arc certain
features that as a rule go witli the
heifer that makes the good cow. We
arc not conceited enough to force our
opinions upon others in tiiis matter,
except in the most limited way. See
tliut she is deep in the flank and open
between the hind legs—in the twist—
then see that her teats are large and
far apart. Having said this much, we
leave tho reader to ride his hobbies as
best he may.— [American Dairyman.
SALT EVERY DAY.
Dairy cattle should have access to
salt every day and salt should bo added
to their stable feed. A scries of ex¬
periments has convinced me that when
cows aro denied salt for a period of
even one week they will yield from
fourteen and a half to seventeen and a
half per cent, less milk, and that of on
inferior quality. Such milk will on
an average turn sour in twenty-four
hours less time than milk drawn from
the same or similar cows receiving
salt, all other conditions of treatment
being equal.
Comfortable quarters aro indispen¬
sable to the health and well-being of
cows. Stables during (lie winter
should have a temperature constantly
within tho range of from 40 to 55 de¬
grees Firin'. In summer time a shade
should he provided in the pasture
Held or adjacent thereto, to protect
against the bristle making influence of
July and August suns. In all tho
management of cows such conditions
should ha provided and such care
given as will insure excellent health
and apparent contentment.
When practicable milking should be
done by the same person, with regu¬
larity as to time, lie only that lmth
clean hands should he allowed to milk
a cow. 1 say “ho” because I think the
men of the farm should do all the
milking, at least during the winter
months. 1 have exercised the right of
changing my mind on that subject since
1 left the farm.
It is no m >rc difficult to milk with
dry hands than with them wet. It i*
cerlainly more cleanly, and leaves the
milk in a much more desirable condi¬
tion for tabic use or manufacture.
I’urc stable atmosphere is indispensa¬
ble to prevent contamination from
that source. Immediate straining will
remove impurities which otherwise
might he dissolved to the
injury of the whole product.—[Orange
Judd Farmer.
SAVES COST O? TIRE-SETTING.
1 had a tinner make a pan of heavy
galvanized iron four inches wide
two feet long, with (he bottom curved
about the same as a wheel. To use
1 dig a little trench in the ground, set
it over it, till half full of oil and make
under it a fire of dry chips, and when
the oil boils, dip a section of the whee]
in so as to cover the felloe and hold it
say ten seconds; each wheel is revolved
twico in this way.
A gallon of oil treated fourteen
wheels—of buggy, spring wagon,
carriage and road cart—and some of
the tires were so loose that I could see
under them and could move them with
my fingers, hut it tightened them all,
and they have run a year since, I
shall repeat the process soon again. I
think that if this were done once each
t unmier wagon-tires g’ould r.irelv need
io bo cut and sot, and as for this work
! we must pay fifty cents per wheel.
and 60 cents’ worth of oil fs sufficient
for ten wheels, the oiling is a notable
economy.
I am told by those who have prac¬
ticed this for years that a road-wagon
can be run till worn out without set¬
ting the tires, if oiled each spring. It
will make it easy to handle the wheels
if a p st is set, with holes bored in it
at different heights, and an iron rod
used for a spindle, on which the
wheels can rest while being treated,
the spindle to be changed from hole to
hole to suit the height of tho wheel.—

DISEASES OF POULTRY.
It is a curious fact that while fowls
are naturally subject to very few dis¬
eases, disease in the poultry- yard is
the greatest drawback to the success of
modern poultry keepers. The falul
disorders so prevalent arc, almost
without exception, the result of neglect
and ill treatment. A good general
rule to follow with sick poultry is to
kill off the fowls that are badly dis¬
eased and save the rest by strict sani¬
tary measures. Another rule that
should he strictly observed is the re¬
moval and isolation of fowis sick from
any cause whatever.
For chicken cholera combine some
stimulant, such as Cayenne pepper,
with the food. Douglas’ mixture put
in the drinking water, in the propor¬
tion of a tcaspoonfui to a pint, will he
found a beneficial tonic to the sick
fowls and a useful preventive of dis¬
orders in the well ones. For a decided
case of cholera a strong solution of
liypo-sulphitc of soda given three
times a day in teaspoonful doses is one
of the standard remedies.
To prevent scaly legs dip the fowl’s
legs in kerosene two or three times per
week. For loss of feathers, which is
due to overfeeding will) heating mate¬
rial, such as corn and buckwheat, the
natural remedy is a change of feed in
which grass, cabbage and (lie like
abound.
Fowls addicted to egg eating had
better be sold. When birds begin
pulling out cadi other’s feathers feed
them plentifully with hits of fresh
meat, scraps and finely powdered fresh
hones. To prevent packing of the
crop, irregularity of the bowels, etc.
mix a little sulphur with the food as
often as once a week; supply also
gravel and coarse sand. When soft-
shelled eggs become frequent supply
old piaster, lime, bone dust, crushed
hones, or similar ingredients.
Use with liberal hand hot lime-wash,
carbolic acid, kerosene and sulphur if
you would prevent lice and other para¬
sites in your poultry yard. Vermin is
a serious pest; once in the chicken-
houses it becomes a difficult matter to
expel. By washing the ltouse with
hot lime-wash occasionally and rub¬
bing the roosts with a mixture of
kerosene and lard fowls may ho kept
comparatively free from vermin.
Sprinkle the floor occasionally with a
solution of carbolic acid two or three
times during the season, and fumigate
the hen-house by burning brimstone or
sulphur.— [New York World.

A IiOve-lorn African Despot.
The King of Dahomey is a man of
education and accomplishments. He
was reared in Paris and much money
was spent, and careful attention
lavished upon his instruction. But in
an evil hour he fell in love with a
Parisian beauty, and because she would
not have him the young man made up
his mind that the life of a barbarian
was preferable to that of a civilized
and enlightened being, He bade
eternal adieu, therefore, to the classics,
tlte arts, and tho sciences, and zeal¬
ously set himself to the pursuit of a
barbarian career. His most remarka¬
ble reform as King of Dahomey was
to surround himself with a body-guard
of strapping women, regular amazons
who rode horseback maa-fasliion, used
tho bow and spear, and weilded the
battle-ax with singular dexterity. Ilis
majesty has a theory that these women
are better fighters than men and are
more likely to he loyal to his interests’.
A contingent of these amazons is to be
brought to London soon and shown to
the public in the French exhibition
now in course of preparation in that

Makes a Specialty of Bruins.
Information conies from Ithaca, N,
Y., that Professor Hurt G. Wilder,
professor of physiology, comparative
anatomy and zoology in Cornell Uni¬
versity, has just entered upon a most
remarkable lino of investigation. Not
satisfied tv i Hi collecting 4000 speci¬
mens of entire animals in alcohol, lie
has decided to give his attention to a
careful study of the human brain by-
means of actual observation, examina¬
tion anti experimentation. For this
purpose he has got together within the
last year the brains of several hundred
people who died recently.
Among these are the brains of phil¬
osophers, artists, business men and
even murderers. In this latter class
arc Mcnkin, the Elmira murderer, and
Kubff, tho Hinghamton murderer. Dr.
Wilder lias discovered some very curi¬
ous facts from his study and observ¬
ations, facts which iiave a distinct
hearing on questions of ethics, such as
certain men’s accountability for their
crimes. 5;y a peculiar process Dr.
Wilder hardens the brain before it is
taken fiom the body, so that one can
handle the deceased subject’s thinking
apparatus as easily as lie can a foot
hall. Dr. Wilder is anxious to get the
brains of philosophers and professors,
and is on a still hunt for bequests of
this kind.
One prominent college president lias
already presented his brain on his
decease, and several professors of
leading educational institutions have
donated their bodies as well as their
brains. Dr. 'Wilder lias formulated
some curious propositions regarding
the brains of people who have been
insane. Among other things, he
shows almost conclusively that, in¬
sanity in many cases springs from
lack of cerebral nutriment consequent
on a poor blood circulation. Dr.
Wilder says lie hopes the newspaper
editors will send in their brains as
contributions to his cerebral ex¬
chequer.— [New O’Wfuis Times- Dem¬
