kITCHENER'S RAILROADINd.

Writing in the January Century on
the trip "FrOm Cairo to Kartum" by
the Nile and Sudan Railway, DR. Will
liam Gage Erving Whose return trip
in an Adirondack canoe is to be de-
scribed in the February number) says:
The construction of this railway
will always be ranked one of the great
est of Kitchener'S achievements in the
Sudan. Obliged by limited appropri-
atiOnS to conduct all his operations at
the least possible expense, he made use
ISmail PaSha's unfinished railway, res
cuing dismantled engines from bitches,
and collecting missing parts from the
contents of Scrap-heapS. Near the At
bara his rails gave out, leaving break
of some distance to necessary termi-
nus. Every siding which could be
spared was taken up, and then, the re-
suits being insufficient, the village of
Wady Halfa was laid under requisi-
ton. Here many. of the houses had
straw roofs supported by rails taken
from the old line. These were summa-
rily appropriated, and after their re-
moval Halfa presented the spectacle of
mushroom Western town after cy-
clone. But the line was completed.
The greatest obstacle was the all
important stretch of 23O miles from
Halfa to Abu Hamed, across the neck
of the great bend of the Nile, an I'M
broken expanse Of barren desert. The
leading engineers of Europe declared
it impossible to construct a railway
across this tract, arguing that the en-
tire carrying capacity of a train would
be taken up by the Water-Supply neceS-
sary for the locomotive. Nevertheless,
assuming the responsibility, the Sirdar
ordered the work begun, relying on the
indomitable pluck and skill Of his SUBJ
ordinates in charge and his own habit
of success. Near the middle of the
course, at points some SO miles apart,
wells were sunk, an operation ridiculed
by the natives, and with true Kitch-
ener luck water was struck in both in
stances, so that the train now accom-
plishes the distance with only two ex-
ira water-tanks. But all succeeding
attempts to find water along the line
and they have been many-have
proved fruitless.
1t was by means of this railway that
the Sudan was conquered. By it's con-
structiOn the long route of nearly 700
miles by way of river for long
stretches absolutely unnavigable for
10 or II months in the year, and even
at flood impracticable save for small
whale-boats hauled through rapids at
enormous toll and expense, was eX-
changed for short, direct, unobstruct-
ed highway, it's carrying capacity linn
tied only by the shortcomings of a
single pair OF rails.

THOSE enAWlne RATS.
A Common and Curious m.ssou.


81 felt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia, Of
which the horrible sensation they thus de-
scribe is a symptom. Other signs are .
heaviness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and Nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in ex-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring ON acute inAammatory dys-
pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life q terror. Ask
anybody who has it
The best of medicines is the new meH-
cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kings

cessful in maladies of the digestive and
nervous systems and in disorders Of the
liver, bladder and kidneys. All druggists

A rlARVELOUS INVENTION.

Wonders never cease. A machine
has been invented that will cut, paste
and hang wall paper. The field of in
ventions and discoveries seems to be
unlimited. Notable among great dis
coverles is. DR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption. 1t has done world
of good for weak lungs and saved many
life. Thousands have used it and
conquered grip, bronchitis, pneumonia
and consumption. Their general
verdict is: Its the best and most re-
liable medicine for throat and lung
troubles. Every SOC and 81 bottle is

horse shoes and nails, the shoemaker
the shoes for the town, the tailor the
clothes, the housewife the under
clothes, and all other things innumer-
able were made in like manner, the
population was more equally distrib-
uted. Many articles are now made
more cheaply by machinery, in large
quantities, and sent all over the coun-
try, and labor is more employed in
large centers. And consequently
farms are worked by less labor with
improved machinery and modern meth
DDS. One man will produce more than
two or three could 80 or 40 years ago.
The farmer of to-day has more of the
luxuries and necessities than the
farmer of generation ago had, which
goes to show that the farm produces
more and the census of our farming
towns show that they are smaller in
number. Things that were consider
ed luxuries a generation ago are ne
cessities of to-day. We are new
country and American push has de-
veloped our fertile west with astonish-
ing rapidity. Transportation has
cheapened and the staple products of
the western productive land have been
put down at our door cheaper than
they could be grown on our rocky New
England farms. But we have held our
own in prosperity for we had the mar
kets at our door and they call for
large quantities Of produce that from
it's nature must be grown near the
place of consumption and in my opin-
ion the farmer of the future that
grows that which will not bear long
transportation is the one that will
succeed. Yours truly,-[A. c. Lake.

ABANDONED FARMS.

The subject of abandoned farms"
has occupied considerable space in
the daily and agricultural press, and
IS still an interesting topic for consid-
Grafton. When it comes to the case
in hand there are not as many aban-
doned farms in Connecticut as has
been imagined. 1t is the purpose of
The BEE to print from time to time
letters from leading and representative
farmers on this and other live topics,
as we believe their testimony is of far
more value than that of some theorist
who has only superficial knowledge
Of local conditions. The local agricul-
tural conditions have felt to some ex-
tent the prosperity that has caused
business to boom in the manufacturing
centers. That the improvement may
continue is the wish of all who have
Connecticut's best interests at heart.
On the subject of abandoned Farms"
SO far as it concerns Bethlehem and
neighboring towns, we have this in
teresting communication from A. G.
Lake, one of the brainiest farmers of
that section. He writes:
A. p. Smith, Dear Sir: You asked
me to write you about abandoned
farms. There are abandoned farms,
but none that are absolutely abandon
ed in this vicinity. There are some
that are badly neglected, but they are
owned by old and intirm, or very un-
thrifty people. And 10 is not from any
fault Of the farm, for some use can be
found for all of the land that is within
Is miles of railroad station or some
of the many thriving manufacturing
villages. That farms lying more than
four miles from a railroad station or
10 or II miles from good market have
deprecated in value within the last Is
years is fact beyond question. Gen.
tralization of manufactures has had
much to do with the present condition.

NINETY MILLIONS TONS OF CERE-
AIS A YEARS.

The story of American agriculture
has been the story of our growth in
population and of the extension of our
national domain,-a record without a
parallel in the history of the world. A
Chicago man once said that he had lied
a great many times about the growth
of his city, but Providence had always
quickly come to his relief. 1t would
take gifted liar to overstate the
growth of our agriculture or exagger-
ate the marvel of it's present pro-
portions. The difficulty is to prod
imagination to any appreciation of the
simple facts.
Uncle Sam already occupies the first
rank among the farmers of the world
in the magnitude and value of his
crops. Although his family consti-
tutes only one twentieth of the human
race, he produces nearly one third of
the worlds food supply, while Russia,
which comes next as a food producer,
has one twelfth of the worlds popula-
ton and supplies less than one fifth of
its food. Compare our wheat crop, for
1900, with that OF the other leading
wheat countries of the wOrld:-

TALKS ON OUR COUNTRY" IN FEB
RUARY SUCCESS.
1t is the farmers boys who are most
likely to succeed, whether in business
or in professional life. Spending most
Of their time under the open sky,
breathing fresh air, and eating simple
food, they are more likely to have Wig
orous health,'and strong constitutions
than are their city cousins. Brought
into constant contact with nature, they
absorb a great deal of useful knowl-
edge, land acquire habits Of observation.
Then. too, the regular farm work, the
"chores," and numberless other little
things keep them well occupied, and
enable them to feel that they are earn
ing their way, thus giving to them a
sense of independence and cultivating
a spirit Of self-reliance and manlness.
The performance of deal of drudg-
cry is an Indispensable preparation for
all real success in life, whatever the
occupation. A boy who is afraid OF
work or of soiling his hands need not
expect to accomplish much in the
world. Country boys have their full
share of fun, but there are many dis
agreeable duties on farm which farm
ers' boys learn to accept as matter of
course. Edward Eggleston, speaking

The soil that grows the laurel wreath,
And he is not unworthy who
Falls struggling manfully to do

your trade mark, so that there will be
