Dover. Eng. Dee 10 f,ia London.
Dee. II, 1912 "a. m.)-The city of
Dover was thrown into excitement
today BY the announcement that the
Germans early this morning attempt

The night was unusually dark and
a heavy rain and haze made search

this morning by the appearance off
the harbor entrance of an unldenti-
fled steamer which refused TO stop
until a shot was fired across her bow.
This vessel then retired. She Is be-
lieved TO have been the tender Of the
submarines.
Half an hour later IL Is said single
submarine was sighted and one of

/ i6:fQ p. mD--A Russian military ex-
pert analyses and lntorprets the Ger
man attempt on Warsaw as follows:
Although the German forces are
more numerous than In their former
advance and they are planning attacks
from several separate directions ST.
nutaneously. their task Is greater
than before on account OF the vast
numbers OF the Russian army which
is massed to met them.
General Francois of the Eighth
German army corps from Osterode
and Soldan Is proceeding from East
Prussia sonthward through Mlawa,
Clechanow and Przasnysz on the right
side OF the NiHtula I'm an attempt to
push toward Roshan with the evident
Intention of giving the powerful for
tress Of Nowo Georgievsk wide
berth. The Germans thus plan to
outflank the Russian right wing and
strike Warsaw from the northeast
Mackcnzen's Army on yisiula.
General Mackenzen's German army
from Thorn meanwhile continues an
offensive on the left side of the Wis
tula through Lowicz engaging the
Russian center and aiming TO hit War
saw from tho west. Another part
of field Marshal Hindenburgs army
from Seradz recently engaged Lodz
and Piotrkow. making every effort 10

THE Austrians from the west and
southwest of Cracow complete the
German plan of beginning an often

sian loft which is besieging Crncow.
while the other part OF the Austrian
army on the north. which is in contact
with the extreme German right, Is try
Ing TO proceed northwest with the OBJ
ject of taking Kielce and Radon.
These movements take the form of
widespread fan with Warsaw the
handle.
May Eyucuaie Warsaw.
Except on the north from Cecha-
now the movements are not new. the
Austro- Germans having tried them
before and failed.
According to the Russian authori-
ties, the yielding of cities TO the ene-
my does not constitute an important
war factor, since the bombardment OF
big cities like Lodz. with the attend
ant destruction Of life and property,
tends to demoralize the army.

Foot and Mouth Disease

The dangerous and deadly cattle,
sheep, goat and swine plague known
as European Foot and Mouth Dis
ease" has again made it's appearance
on the American continent. At this
time it threatens the live stock rails
ing industry of Tennessee as we'll as
that of every other state in the In
ion, unless it's presence is detected
and its spread checked by prompt and
drastic measures.
This disease first appeared in the
vicinity of Niles, Michigan, about 5
weeks ago. Before its actual pres
ence was known it had spread to 3
counties in southern Michigan and 2
counties in northern Indiana. From
this source the Chicago Union Stock
Yards became infected. From these
yards car load after car load of cat
tie and sheep have been shipped for
breeding and feeding purposes to a
great majority of the states. Wher-
ever these shipments have gone the
disease has been carried. No less
than IL states are known to be Nm
fected at this time, viz, Massachu-
setts, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa.
Montana, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The great difficulty confronting live
stock sanity control officials is loca-
ing the farms upon which the disease
exists before it has spread to the
whole community.
II any shipment from Chicago since
October lst has been made to any
point in Tennessee we are not aware
of it. If single case of this disease
exists in the state it has not been re-
ported. However, as precautionary
measure we are extremely anxious to
locate all shipments of cattle and
sheep which have been made from the
Chicago Union Stock Yards to Ten
nessee since October lst in order that
a state or federal Inspector may be
sent to examine them for presence of
Foot and Mouth Disease. Any per-
son having knowledge of any such
shipment will be performing a patri-
otto duty which he owes to the live
stock interests as well as comforting
great favor to the Agricultural
Department by reporting it promptly
to the undersigned.

Good Roads

AS our readers know, the bone
issue of 500, 600 to build roads in
the county was defeated by an
rwhelming vote. The fnan-
cial condition of the county and
the general stagnation of bust
ness, coupled with the uncertain
ty Of how the money would be
spent and by whom expended,
caused the voters to say emphat-
ically No.
Ii the people were informed
and fully believed that a bond is
sue of say S25, 900 was present
ed to them to grade the roads of
the county, under a contract at
say forty or fifty dollars per mile,
and that done by reliable con-
tractors with no chance for any
graft, it would carry. All we
need are properly graded roads,
and then a provision to keep
them in good condition by the
use of the drag. At forty dollars
a mile $25, 900 would grade 625
miles. That will cover the en-
tire county. Contractors will take
it for that price and do the work
according to specifications.
Then if every road hand SUBJ
ject to service were taxed SOC per
day that they are now subject to
work, sufficient fund would be
raised to employ certain men on
say section of five or six miles
to drag the road regularly and
keep it in first class repair. We
would have as good roads as we
need. The idea of travelling
roads is humbug. 1t costs as
much to keep then up every five
years as the original cost.

Souring of milk Is due entirely to
bacteria. If it were possible to keep
those out. milk would never sour; so
the length of time milk will remain
sweet, depends on our ability to limit
the number of bacteria in 1t. To do
this, 1t is important that we know the
ways that the germs get into the milk
and what condition favor their growth
after they are in. Milk is very ex-
,cellent food for many bacteria, and
when they once get started they in
crease in numbers rapidly, changing
the sugar of the milk to acid, which
gives 1t the sour taste and smell and
causes the casein to curd or clabber.
Dirt of every kind carries with it more
or less bacteria, so that when 1t en-
ters the milk it introduces whatever
germs are clinging to 1t. If the dirt
is entirely, or largely composed Of ma
nure, 1t will always have a large mum
Der of bacteria. Very small particles
of this filth. even as floating dust, will
supply many germs to the milk If 1t
is allowed to get into it. Any work
around the milking stall just before
milking is likely to scatter some dust
into the air and. this settling, will lodge
In the milk vessels and thus increase
greatly the germs. Cow hairs always
have many germs on them and add
their share to the milk If allowed to
get into it, The hands and clothing of
the mixer often carry many germs
and in working over the pals while
milking these are dislodged and drop
into the milk. Cleanliness of the mNk-
er is very essential in the handling OF
milk. Another source Of bacteria In

milk is the vessels into which it is
drawn and stored. If these are not
given special care they will introduce
many germs and they are very likely
to introduce the kind which cause the
souring of milk because these are able
to live in the pals in which milk was
formerly soured. The strainer is also
likely to have many germs in 1t. Ev-
erything which comes In contact with
milk should first have the bacteria
killed out of them. This may be done
by careful washing and scalding, or
by exposing them to sunlight for some
time. Sunlight will Kill all bacteria
which can cause the soIring of milk
in a comparatively short time if they
are subjected directly to it. There
will always be some bacteria in milk,
even with the best of handling, and
1t is necessary to do something to pre-
vent these from increasing in num-
bers. Bacteria grow very fast If the
milk is at the right temperature. This
temperature for the souring bacteria
is about that of an ordinary living
room. If the milk is kept at this tenn
perature the bacteria increase very
fast and sour the milk quickly. If, on
the other hand. 1t is kept at q temper
ature about 20 degrees cooler than
this, the germs which cause the sour
ing will grow slowly and the milk will
remain sweet long time. 1t is very
important that the milk be cooled
soon after it is MIXED Tests at the
Experiment Station show that milk
cooled Immediately after milking re-
mains sweet much longer than II al
