New York, Feb. 5.-Germany cannot
maintain an effective blockade of the
British isles, 1t is as impossible for
the Teutonic submarine fleet to starve
England into surrender as it is for
Zeppelins to terrorize her into sub
mission.
The German declaration against
British merchant vessels does not, in
fact, proclaim blockade. Instead,
British waters are pronounced "war
zone" which is an indefinite term, not
excluding neutral shipping from bellig-
erent ports, as would a blockade.
A principle, therefore, is affirmed in
international law quite without modern
precedent. Germany, in effect, an
nounces that it will treat all British
ships in British waters as blockade
runners, although no blockade can be
established. A warship may sink a
blockade runner without consideration
for the lives of its passengers or crew,
Under international law, merchantmen
of an enemy which are not blockade
runners cannot be sunk unless provision
is made for saving life,
This is a humane precedent which
Germany prOclaims herself free to
break. That England has declared food
imports into Germany contraband is
not sufficient rejoinder The ques-
ton does not concern cOntraband lists,
but is a declaration Of war against
civilians.
The modern conception Of war diff
fers in this essential from the barbaric
conception. Modern wars are only be
tween officially recognized armed
forces, not between soldiers and civil
ians. otherwise Germany could mas
sacre the municipal population of the
French territory now in German pos

BREED YOUR COWS TO FREsHEN
IN THE FALL.
(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten

(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
There are several advantages in
having the cows fresh in the fall Of
the year instead of In the spring.
There is more time on the farm for car
ing for the cows and her products dur
ing the winter months, as farm work
is not so pressing at this season.
Cows will give better yield Of
milk than if they freshen in the spring.
If they are properly cared for and fed
they will milk well when fresh then
when grass comes in the spring it
helps to keep the milk flow, so that
the fall-fresh COW will milk better
throughout the year than the one that
freshens in the spring. The cows will
be dry during the hot summer months
when pas lures are short and flies bad.
More assshtion can be given to caring
for the calves, and they will be ready
to turn on pasture in the spring when
grass. comes.
There is more demand for milk and
butter during the winter months, and
the price is higher than during the
summer. If cows are bred SO as to
freshen in the fall they will give bet
ter cash returns from the sale of their
products.

BUSINESS LUCRATIVE
MANY Farmers Are Turning Their At
tention to the Dairy Co" az
Source Of Ready Income and Soil
Improvement.

(By C. A. Hutton, Division of Exten,
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Tennessee farmers are learning
more and more the necessity Of di-
yersifed farming and the keeping of
more live stock on their farms, A
great many are turning their attention
to the dairy cow as source of ready
income and a means of soil improve
ment.
The general interest in dairying has
caused a widespread interest in the
building of creameries over the state.
Especially is this true in West Tonnes
see, where the depressed cotton mar
kets are causing farmers to look for
something besides cotton for a source
OF income The prevailing idea in a
great many communities, If a few
farmers should decide to get into the
dairy business, is that they should
build creamery. While well-man-
aged, successful creamery does afford
an excellent market for cream, yet
many dairymen in this state have bet
ter markets afforded them by city milk
plants and in cream plants, than most
creameries can ever hope to AFFORD.
The most essential requirement for
a successful creamery is a sufficient
supply of cream. The product from at
least four hundred cows should be
available, and they should be located
within a radius of not more than ten
miles OF the creamery, or shipping
point. In some communities the roads
are in such poor condition that it is
not practical TO deliyFHf Cream during
the winter -
A great amount OF excitement has
been created over the state by the
professional creamery promoter, whose
sole object is to sell creamery outfit.
These promoters get the confidence Of
the farmers and usually succeed in
selling plant at about two prices.
They have operated in all parts of the
state, and we have number of ex-
amples Of creameries that have failed
as a result of their work. In Greene
county alone they built four cream
cries a few years ago and not one Of
the plants was ever operated success
fully.
Any community considering the
hnai-.de Of a creamery should first get
in touch with the State Agricultural
College rather than listen to the glow
ing stories of the creamery promoter,
who is always working for d selfish
interest.

PLANS FOR STARTING
TAE EARLY GARDEN
(By C. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
nic IT.,inrnrrsA,t az l

(By C. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
For an early garden a sandy loan
with southern exposure is best. No
plants can grow in a soil saturated
with water, and the sandy loans drain
more perfectly than the heavier soils.
Every garden should be plowed in the
fall and plenty of manure should be
turned under. Narrow burrows, edge
up, should~be- the rule for garden plow-
ing. If left rough the winter frosts
help to mellow garden land; but be-
fore planting, there should be thorough
use of'disc and smoothing harrow and
planter When worked in the right
moisture condition, garden ground
should be free from clods, and as the
-proverbial saying is, fine as an ash
heap" at planting time.
II the garden has not been plowed,
care must be taken not to attempt the
work when the land is too wet; often
the only chance of an early garden is
in fall blowing. If the soil is at all
heavy, no good can result from turning
1t when it is wet Triumph or Irish
Cobler potatoes, Alaska peas, Yellow
Danvers or Prize Taker onions and
Charleston Wakefield Cabbage, should
be in the ground by March first, and
all the harder vegetables can be
planted before the first Of April.
