Washington, Mar 22.-The declara.
tion Of principles regarding the law of
maritime war agreed upon by the con.
ference of ten of the principal mari.
time nations of the world held in Lon.
don during the past winter, and known
as the maritime conference. were made
public at the state department yester.
day. Probably the most interesting
features from the American standpoint
are the declarations regarding what
constitutes conditional contraband
and what is free of contraband.
Step Forward in Naval Warfare.
The principles enunciated in the dec.
iaration are to act as a guide for the
government of international prize
court to be established at The Hague.
They are regarded as of great import.
ance and mark decided step forward
in the establishment of a code for
naval warfare. The American dele.
gates as previously reported are salts
fed with the code which contains
much that will prove of great ad.
vantage to American commerce in time
of war.
This is especially the case with the
articles treating of contraband, the es.
Innate being made that under the
head of conditional contraband ex.
ports approximating at this time 5000.
100000 a year would be affected in
the event of war, and under the head

Declaration on Blockade.
The essence OF the declaration on
blockade is that It must be confined to
the ports and coasts belonging to or
occupied by the enemy and that the
blockade to be binding must be effec.
tive. The Anglo-American doctrine of
notice of blockade was adopted as
against the continental. This is that
notice through diplomatic channels OF
the establishment of such blockade is
sufficient.
Article AZ provides that any person
belonging to the armed forces OF the
enemy and found on board a neutral
war vessel, may be made a prisoner
OF war even though there be no
ground for seizing the vessel.

Interview with M. Rarthou.


Yesterday afternoon representatives
Of the lnemen called on M. Barthou
minister of public works, ostensibly
for the purpose Of protesting against
the charges that they had cut the
wires, but during the course of the in
terview they communicated to the
minister the terms on which the allied
associations collectively would resume
work. These were, first, the resigna
tion of NJ. Simyan, under secretary oi
posts and telegraphs; second, that nc
employe should be dismissed on ac
count of the strike. They also desired
the assurance that the delegates of the
association hereafter should be per
mitted to lay their grievances directly
before the minister of public works.
NJ. Barthou received the deputation
in conciliatory spirit. He said that
the government could not discuss the
resignation of an official except with
parliament, but he practically gave the
delegation the satisfaction they de
manded on other points, explaining to
them, however, that the government
had not yet exercised its right of dis.
missal. Premier Clemenceau later
met the deputation and confirmed NJ
Barthous statement with regard to
the attitude of the government.

At the conclusion of these inter.

Curry the Cows.

1t is profitable to groom cows, espe-
cially in the spring. This is done in
the same manner that horse is cur
ried and brushed, and the work as thor
oughiy done as If grooming a good
horse. The cows are curried with a
sharp currying comb until the loose
hairs are combed off and the dandrufr
on the skin is loosened. They are then
rubbed down with straw and afterward
with rub rag until the coat is smooth
and glossy. This opens up the pores
In the skin, sets up healthy action in
the small blood vessels just under the
skin and helps a great deal in direct
way in putting the cows in good condi-
ton.
Give the cows plenty Of outdoor ali
as soon as the weather moderates, but
do not compel them to stand out in the
rain. Keep them in the yard until the
grass is well started, for the first blades
are too watery to furnish nutrition, and
it is false economy to turn stock or
pasture until it is well started. Any
saving of forage made in this way will
be paid for later by the shortness Of
the grass when it is most needed.

The farm problem OF America is not
In bursting barns nor high bred stock,
nor soil fertility. nor even in the rural
school, but In the farmer himself. Its
solution is in the individual known as
the new farmer. The dreary drudgery
Of the old farm existence is fast pass
ing away. and in its place is coming a
broad. rich. free livelihood, never known
before-''the new country life" The
new farmer lives the new country life I;
the new farmer builds for his wife and
children modern. sanitary, attractive
home; the new farmer makes hard
roads. He installs telephone, receives
his mail by free delivery and encour-
ages interurban service, supports a
thriving rural church and demands an
efficient consolidated school with high
school course for his sons and daugh-
tiers at home. The new farmer reads
and thinks; he studies his own environ
ment, sees his opportunity and limita-
lions; improves the one and removes
the other. The new farmer is not only
scientist, but sociologist He works
In harmony with his neighbors for the
general good and uplift of his imme-
diate community, and above all else he
realizes the dignity and Importance OF
his own profession and individuality in
the permanent and national welfare.
