one-half acres of fruit and berries;
$220-from one acre of straw
berries; $262 from one acre of
strawberries; four cherry trees

The packing houses now being

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.

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

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.
