The Salem Christmas Journal contained many items about pro fitable yields, a few Polk county samples being as follows: Four cherry trees, $13 each; about $140 from a 500 foot row of straw berries; $750 clear from 5 and one-half acres of fruit and berries; $220-from one acre of straw berries; $262 from one acre of strawberries; four cherry trees yield $40 a year; $14,000 off a 40 acre tract, and so on. The packing houses now being erected at Portland will require large numbers of hogs. Dairy ing and hog raising go together. Polk county has much land good for dairying purposes, and could produce many hogs for the Port land markets. Take the advice' of a college professor and save the calves. Let the calves be come milkers, funish local cream eries with butter fat, and feed the separated milk to hogs; With the completion of the Oregon Elect- ic road to Forest Grove the first of the year, the first great stride towards giving us an electric outlet has been made. We may safely predict that within two years the road will be completed to Corvallis and that Monmouth will be a station on the line. It isn't nec essary that the line corr.e rig! t into the town, or up to the post- office, fcr Mo mouth will rerch out to not less than two mile i to the westward before that time, therefore the road will have to go through the town or make a wide detour. Again the Oregon Electric is not the only road that will run through this section of the state in a few years The United Railways promise to have their road completed as far as Forest Grove before the end of the present year, which means that it will be here a year later. With one of the richest fruit and dairy sectio s of the coast at our door we should be one of the wealthiest communities in a few years. New Naturalization Process. Government Examining Officer Smith, who investigates petitions for naturalization, under a recent law, appeared before Judge Bur nett today in the examination of petitioners for naturalization. J. Wright was abmitted to citizen ship, being a resident of Folk county. Owing to the fact that Wright resided in another county, the examiner thought he would be compelled to raise an object ion but could allow the recog nition of the papers, however. Hanna Keneela was given nat- uralizat on papers without ques tion. Samuel Stotter, another resident of Polk county was ad mitted, but the examiner wished the same objection granted as in the former case. Hereafter Judge Burnett will instruct all the clerks in his judicial district not to issue petitions for natural ization to residents outside the county in which they are making their home, and in this manner do away with the necessary ob jections of the government ex aminer. The present cases were the first to come up in the Mar ion county court, and the main objection of the examiner is bas ed on not sufficient publicity of the petitioner under such circum stances. -Salem Journal.

EDITOR HERALD Dear Sir:- I would like to spend a week at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Fair as the guest of the Monmouth Herald. Please send me full particulars of how I may do so. A. B. WESTFALL Painter and Paper Hanger Monmouth Oregon eased animals, which has been developed in Denmark, was de scribed by Dr. Bernard Bang, director of the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural College at Copenhagen, in a recent address before students of the Univer sity of Wisconsin College . of Agriculture. Prof. Bang, after careful inspection of the work on bovine tuberculosis done by the Wisconsin Experiment Sta tion, gave the students a brief history of his efforts to control the disease in Denmark. The essential features of his system are: Firt, careful test ing all animals in the herd with tuberculin, and second, removal of reacting animals and reten tion of healthy ones in quarters to prevent transmittal of the disease to those uninfected; third, disinfection of stables to prevent development of the dis ease through germs left by dis eased animals; fourth, regular testing of the healthy herd to remove cases that may develop, before they spread the disease to others; and fifth, removal of calves from cows of the infected herd at once that thev mav be f.,.l : n. r ii'. i ' i . i i i'ii iMi uiiiK i rum uie neaitliv cows or on pasteurized milk. When the disease is merelv local in the animal, Dr. Bang saiil there was no good reason For slaughtering it. Most calves from tuberculous cows, he said, are free from the disease and will continue healthy if removed from the cow at birth. It is not an expensive operation to follow this method of segregation, he demonstrated, since it has been proven that on both large and small farms the care in feeding can be managed that infection will not be carried from the dis eased to the healthy herds.
