Here is new way Of holding your
seat on train when you have occasion
to leave. The other morning a we'll
known travelling man Of this city got
on Burlington No. 3 and was walking
through for seat, when he discovered
one to all appearance unoccupied. He
went to it, and imagine his surprise
when he saw six-shooter resting
calmlv on the cushion. He passed on
and found seat in another part of the
car. He says that many people came in
and started for that seat, but as soon
as they saw what it contained, marched
on. TEy it some time.

will not see cars dipped in vat filed

receive their coat of paint in this way.
The cattle guards for this road are all
painted white. This is done because
one OF the members OF the engineering
staff discovered that cattle or other
four-footed animals will not attempt to
cross a cattle-guard that is painted
white. 1t is strange, but true.

The heroes of railroad life appear to
stand forward every time the call for
bravery arises. One of the latest of
the many deeds worthy of admiration
of mankind was reported recentlv from
Vancouver. B. G.. Harry Honey, a
Waterman on the Canadian Transconti-
mental railway, on the Cherry Creek
section. was the hero in the case. One
night about midnight the Cherry Creek
bridge caught fire and was destroyed.
Honey and his wife were the only
ones within fifty miles Of the place.
Coming west toward Cherry Creek was
the limited express, and running east
ward was the excursion train carrying
400 American journalists on their re-
turn trip. The stream was swollen by
heayv rains and the current was swift,
but Honey knew that the only way to
save the excursion train was to swim

The Hog and Its Nose,

The nose of the hog is an index of
the hogs nature and condition. Its
shape and texture show that it is de-
signed for nuzzling. for roofing and
for overturning things, and this is "the
nature of the brute" to perfection. says
an exchange. The condition OF the
animal is in many ways shown In the
nose. In the healthy hog the nose is
moist. cool and pink In color. To the
touch it is elastic. In disease il
changes in appearance, becoming pallid
or purplish, dry, hot and rigid, or else
fabby. Many an experienced breeder
can tell at q glance the general cond-
ton of hog from the condition of its
nose. When your swine grow listless,
and do less nuzzling than usual, and
seem to be doing or sleeping more
than usual, inspect their noses, and
you are likely to find in them the indi-
cations of fever and other troubles.

DOUDLETREE PROBLEM EXPLAINED
which | think will solve the question to
any intelligent mind.
In both diagrams the solid lines show
the position Of the doubletree when the
horses are working even, and both are
the same distance from the wagon
tongue, as center line of draught.
Diagram l shows doubleiree with
holes bored on straight line. and the
dotted lines show the OFF horse to be
ahead. and yet brings each horse the
same distance from the center line OF
draught. and therefore neither horse
has the advantage.
Diagram 2 shows doubletree viii
holes bored out OF line. "as they are
usually made" and the dotted lines
show the off horse to be ahead also, and
farther from the center line Of draught
than the nigh horse. and therefore gives
the horse that is ahead the advantage.
My reason for saying that the horse
behind pulls the most is simply that the
holes in the doubletree are bored
out of line, and anyone doubling this
can easily demonstrate it by placing
one end of the doubletree ahead, and
measure from the clevice pin to the cen
ter line Of draught.
In making doubletree, bore the
holes in straight line and have less
balky horses.-Farm, Field and Fire
