ABANDONED FARM PROJECT
Eastern Railroad Company Meeting
with Success In a New
Enterprise.
"Tho New York , New ilaveu & Hurt-
ford Is ut present engaged In a very In
teresting experiment , " writes Urough-
ton llrandenburg , In the Technical
World Magazine , "which , strictly spoak-
lug , la hardly such any longer , aa iti
efforts have been crowned with uucccsa
fioui the beginning. The road covern
the lower half of Now England wituaii
astounding network uC lines ; and as a
result of the opening of the richer lamli
of the west and south , the men who had
been tolling on the Impoverished Now
England farms , small and stony , forsook
seek them , took their families and led
New England. The price of land de
clined until ihciocamotobomnny farms
that could be bought for a dollar an acre
and at last a great number that were en
tirely abandoned. By reason of the road
carrying to and fro Italians who had
landed In New York and wished to go
to the cotton mills of Lowell or the shoo
shops of Lynn , etc. , and Italians who
had hinded In Boston and wished to go
to Now York , the news of these aban
doned farms cainu to bo noised about
among the Italians , and they began to
take them up. The men would work In
the nearest factory , and the women anil
children cultivate the ground. Tha
Italian Is a born Irrlgutor ; and now , all
along the New Haven road , can bo seen
garden-like estates that were once aban
doned by their previous owners. Thread
road WUH quick to see the trend of the
Italians , and Is bent on encouraging It.
It In probable that a combined agricul
tural ami Industrial population of Ital

millions in number , will be gained to thu
territory traversed by the road. "
