Growing Pine Trees.

Joseph A. Serre is making an ex-
pertinent in pine tree growing on por-
tons Of his farm at Lane Kenosha
Fairfield county. Mr.. Serre has set
out several hundred pine seedlings on
ground that has proved practically
Valueless for other purposes and the
trees are coming along thriftily. He
expects to set out many more pine
seedlings in the spring. 1t will be
several years, of course, before the
trees grow to marketable size. Alr
Series plan is TO plant the trees in
ccml aratively small tracts widely sep
arated from each other. so that a fire
starting in one would have little
chance of spreading to another. A
new statute exempts from taxation
for a period of twenty years land that
is being developed for forestry pur-
poses provided there are 1900 trees

NEW HAVEN ELEcTRlFlcATloN
Between Stamford and Cedar Hill to
Be Completed This Year.

A careful revision of the plans for
eleetrifying the four tracks OF the
main stem Of the New York, New Ha-
ven 4 Hartford railroad between
Stamford and Cedar Hill. just east of
New Haven station, shows that the
cost will be brought somewhat below
the original estimates, counting in that
cost the expense of new electric
freight engines. The original compu-
tations showing that no power station
besides that in Cos Cob will be need
ed are confirmed, but at the New Ha-
ven end some slight steam operation
may be needed on days of exceptional
traffic like tine time Of the big football
game
The work of electrification is ex-
pected to be begun Immediately and
to be completed before the end of the
present year. Considerable economy
of operation Is looked for as compared
with the present mixed operation I'M
der electricity and steam. The matter
of the electric extension to New Ha-
ven has been much simplified and ex-
pedited by the fact that certain obsti-
nate and vexatious problems in cleo
trio operation and equipment had beer
previously worked out in the electri-
flying Of the New Haven line between
Stamford and New York.
