Part of the Treaty.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1.-The
Post says: The treaty with Italy, to
which Baron Fava alludes in a letter
10 Secretary Blaine, was negotiated
at Florence in 1871. 1t is a quite
lengthy document and contains the
following interesting paragraphs:
Article 20. II by any fatality which
cannot be expected, and which may
God avert, the two contracting par.
ties should be engaged In war with
each other; they have agreed and do
agree now for them, that there shall
be allowed the term of six months to
merchants of the coast and in the
ports of each other, and the term of
| one year to those who dwell in the
Interior, to arrange their business and
transport their effects wherever they
please, with safe conduct necessary

In general all whose occupations are

tinue active employments and shall
not be molested in their persons, nor
shall their houses or goods be burned
and otherwise destroyed, nor their
fields wasted by the armed force of
the belligerenG in whose power, by
the events of war, they may happen
to fall; but If is be necessary
that anything should be taken
from them tor the use of such
belligerent, the same shall be paid
for at reasonable prices; and it Is de.
clared that neither the pretense that
war dlssolves treaties nor any other
pretext whatever, shall be considered
as annulling or suspendine this arti-
Gle; but on the contrary, that state
of war is precisely that for
which it is very wisely provided,
and during which its provisions are
to be sacredly observed as the most
acknowledged obligation in the law
OF nations"
The existence of this article was gen.
orally known by diplomats and others
ty whom 1t was shown last night, but
some expressed the opinion that 1t
would not stand moment in case of
war, notwithstanding all its solemn
and sacred protestations.

celebrated among the Spanish natives
OF the territory for the fertility of it's
land and beauty OF it's climate; its lusci-
GUS fruits and its unsurpassed vegetables
were carried into all the neighboring
districts, while its genial and sunny
climate caused it to be sought as a winter
resort by the Weather classes, who
came here in large numbers from bum
dreds OF miles around, to enjoy the
bright skies and mild atmosphere which
here constitutes the rule throughout the
winter season. And the example which
was thusset by our Spanish predecessors
has been wisely followed by the Ameri-
cans, and the comforts and benefits OF
the delightful winter climate OF this love-
ly valley are now known and enjoyed by
people from not only every section Of
New Mexico, but from many portions
OF the country abroad, who came here
to escape the rigors Of the winter in the
eastern states. By such persons the
winter season Of this district is hardly
considered winter at all. The sun
shine every day, the air, though warm,
is dry and bracing, and the times when
one may not sit out OF doors, on the
sunny side OF the house, are the excep'
tons and not the rule. But OF what
value would be it's equable climate, itt
cloudless skies and its perpetual sun
shine, II irrigation had not reclaimed the
desert and made the erstwhile barren
lands OF the valley to bring forth theii
abundance? All other conditions may
be perfect, yet without vegetation q

that regions of the southwest with sol

In the annual report of the Connect

Roland Thaxter gives an interesting
account of his experiments with potato
"scab." The following synopsis Is

Almost everybody who has raised

by irritation brought about by sub

think IL il a result of chemical action
due TO the presence OF lime or oxide of
iron In the soil, while another theory is
that stable manure induces the dis

theories is that perfectly healthy pota

soils and with stable manure, while
6cab frequently occurs on light dry
land. DIR. Thaxter thus dismisses the
insect-eating theory: Turning to the

IRRIGATION.

Any man in middle age to-day can re-
member the time when it was generally
believed that California and Colorado
would never be able to produce anything
but silver and gold aud that all the men
engaged in mining in those states would
have to be fed by other portions OF the
country; but California to-day exports
more wheat than any other state in the
union, while her fruits, fresh and can
ned, are known around the world and
Colorado is not much behind her older
sister on the Pacific; already she is not
only self-sdstaining, but has for ship
ment abroad large annual surplus OF
wheat, which ranks with the best in the
markets Of the world, while her potatoes
which are unsurpassed, now supply the
whole southwest. And there is nothing
in the natural conditions to prevent the
experience OF these two states from
being repeated in New Mexico, TO the
eXtcntalleast Of feeding her own people !;
the elements OF climate and soil are
essentially the same-the difference
where any exists, being in favor OF New
Mexico, The climate is milder than that
OF Colorado, ana Us compared with that
OF California is superior in all essential
respects for the growing OF every product
except the semi-trDpical iruits--while
the power Of the soil is practically un.
limited. The two great states named
when in condition of nature, were as
barren and unproductive as any other
section OF what We call the "arid re-.
igions, nd~Jfh-the, munifcence OF
their present productiye2ess is due en-
tirely to irrigation. Ii certain portions
OF the desert can be thus made to bios
som rs the rose, will not the same means
applied to other sections produce the
same results? Who, then, will assume
10 set 4 limit to The countless millions Of
bushels Of grains and fruits which a
general and intelligent system OF irri-
CATION viii some time produce upon the
now barren plains OF the great south,
west, or to the sum which such products
will annually add to the aggregate
wealth OF the nation. If the man who
causes two blades Of grass to grow where
but one grew before, is a public bene-
factor, by what name shall we charac-
teri2e a system which shall cause the
food supply Of nation TO grow upon
land on which only cactus and sage
brush have grown before?
As an illustration Of what irrigation
can accomplish ior an otherwise barren
region, it is only necessary to look to the
valley Of the Rio Grande. For nearly
three centuries this valley has leen
known as the garden al New MEXICO.
Long before the first American emigrant
set foot upon its soil this country was
