Rear Brakeman"

When can like to sit in the rear
seat CT 6 train and look back on the
line as the cars rush ONWARD. 1t gives
different view OF the landscape from
that one obtains from the side win
dowS. You see more of the operations
Of the road. 1t woGld be still better
and vastly more thrilling if only |
could ride on the locomotive. have
always wanted above all else TO ride
with the engineer of fast limited
train; but as that is a celestial priv
ilege accorded to few the next best
thing is to get back to the observation
car and look back at the tracks, says a
writer in the Lowell Courier-C Citizen.
Usually nothing happens. You sit
there in comfort, and if the car also
happens to be a smoker, in super
comfort. The parallel lines Of steel
stretch away into the remote distance.
Bridges crash past and dwindle to a
speck. Nonchalant flagmen at the level
crossings iutter their diminutive ban
ners for moment and betake them
pipes. Semaphore arms bring them
selves to the horizontal with jerk. a
pail of dust and smoke settles murkily
down over it all. Now and again an
other train ratties by on the other line,
a medley Of green and brass, with a
silent figure in the rear door, who
gives wave of the hand to the rear
brakeman at your elbow. Then comes
q curve. and you pass out Of that land.
scape into another.
The rear brakeman is to me an OBJ
ject OF awe and veneration, next TO the
engineer whom ! almost never see at
ali. He has nothing to do with the
brakes in these days, but his name per-
sists He figures chiefly as the rear
guard il event of an unexpected halt.
His is the task, no matter what the
weather. Of running back along the
rails to flag even the unlikely pursu-
ing train, regardless of a multitude Of
block signals that are supposed to take
care Of ali such without his inter"en-
ton.
The rules are just as insistent on
tliis form Of protection as if block sig
nais had never been invented. 1t is
the same old rule that was in force
from the beginning. If the train stops
in mid-career this man is supposed to
jump off and run back with red flag, a
lantern, bundle Of 'fusees" and tor
pedoes. On some roads he does this
without being told. On others, he
goes out on hearing the admonition Of
certain whistles from the engine. In
any case he stays out until he is notl-
fed by the whistles to return. and
mighty glad he is to get the summons.
The train will not start until he comes
painting up the steps and waves his
hand.

LIQUID POISON.

Beer, sometimes referred to as IL
quid bread" is rather, according to
the verdict of physicians and scien-
fists liquid poison. DR.. Hugo Hoppe,
the famous nerve specialist of konigs-
berg, Germany, says: Because the
symptoms of chronic alcoholism ap-
pear more slowly and are less readily
observable in the heavy beer drlnker
than in the whisky drinker, the former
is more frequently met than the lat
ter. But thousands and tens of thou
sands Of men who take their daily
pint are rendered stupid, silly and dis
solute by beer. Beer alcoholism IN
general lowers the resistance of the
body to all diseases by injuring most
of the organs, and herein lies the
Chief danger in the general wide
spread use of beer The death from
liver diseases among brewers in Eng
land is more than double that in all
other occupations"

FEED FOR FATTENlNG SWINE
Most Grains Are Deficient in Protein

That protein element in rations for
9attening pigs will increase the di-
4gestibiiity of the other food nutrients
is a fact shown by repeated expert
iments. It has also been noted that
when protein is added to ration de-
ticient in this element, the animal will
-sat larger amount of food.
Since most of our farm grains are
deficient in protein farmers should
make careful investigation Of the
E, sources from which it can best be sup
piled. Alfalfa and alfalfa hay are
excellent for breeding and growing
lstock, but are too bulky for fattening
purposes. If the pigs eat enough OF
them to secure the required amount Of
protein there is not enough feed capac-
tity available for the other necessary
nutrients. Bran has the same faults
Jas fattening feed. Middlings and
shorts may be used if the price is not
too much above that of the grains fed
and the distance of hauling is not too
great.
Soy bean meal is being imported
from Manchuria and may become
.c.:c2p enough for supplementary use.
Gotten seed meal is richer in protein
than either Of these, but because Of
its poisonous effects when fed for long
periods should never be used as pig
feed for more than fCrJy-two days.
Tankage, by-product of the meat
industry, is admirably adapted to hog
feeding and is likely to long remain
the chearest and most satisfactory
source of supplemental protein for
swine.
