That's quite a question. I doubt if there is any complete answer to it. It involves a great many factors, both within and without the farmer him. self.

The Ionrer live and farm it, and the longer I associate with other farmers, the stronger grows my con- yiction that one of the very most po- tent causes of loss and failure to many of us Is our lack of attention to the small details of our business. It's not the only one. I don't want to be understood as saying that 1t is the most important one But it is one which in looking over the whole ground, mustn't be Ignored. And, as I said, the longer I observe it, the larger it looms in my sight.
 Take, for illustration, the one mat ter of weather conditions. We all know that the weather is mighty on- sartin-that it's liable to change any hour-that nobody can foretell it with any degree of surety Cat least nobody ever has)-that we can work when it is propttious and that we can't do much when it is stormy.

Norwich bulletin., 1914-12-05

So far as my experience and obser- vation go, they lead me to think that the thriftiest farmers about me are those who use the good weather when they have it to their fullest capacity and don't take chances on any tomor- rows or next weeks.
 They keep ahead of the weather rather than wait on it.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-12-05

It's an old saying that the farmer must make hay when the sun shines. The meaning Is that he Is dependent upon the chances of the weather for his ability to make that crop. Of course he is. He might, if he didn't care for the soaking. mow his grass in the rain. But he can't make hay out of it till the rain stops and the sun comes out. He hasn't any sort of control of that solar proceeding, either. The rain rains when it pleases, and the sun shines when it chooses, and the haymaker takes his luck as it comes. He hasn't anything what ever to say about what 1t shall be or how it shall come. All he can do is to take it and make what he can of it. In other words. he is absolutely. and wholly dependent upon the freak ishness of the weather.
 In this matter of having. most farm CTS act or this understardinR. But in lots of other farm details, many seem to ignore the fact that they are really mere puppets in the hands of the meteorological forces.

Three nights afterward the frost came; not merely a frost, but freeze which made ice and which killed his corn dead as last years birds nests. I don't know that it hurt the corn kernels themselves much, but it cut one dollar out of every two dollars worth of stalks for fodder. And he keeps cows. And he's short of hay.

by United States officials as entirely
sound, The same is true as to the com
plant against the removal of Gernan
citizens not yet in military establish 70
ment from neutral ships and also the
extension by Great Britain of her contra -
band list far beyond the limits fixed in
the London convention,
In the opinion of American officials
however, no way is omen 10 the United
States to require adherence by all bclli-
gcrcnts to the strict letter of the dcclar-
alton of London, Great Britain has never
ratified the declaration and Germany and
Austria are, therefore, ahsolved by the
declaration itself from adherence to its
terms. 1t was this situation that led the
state department to revert to the old
practices of International law and treaties
for guidance during the present war.
The department has been at work virtu-
ally since the outbreak Of war. forging
out a code of its own for the treatment
of questions Of contra band and neutral
ity. 1t is hoped that this code can be
devised with such fairness and Impair
TALLY that it will commend itself to all
OF the helligerents. 1t Is recognized how
ever, that the failure Of all bclligerents
to adhere to the declaration Of London
has greatly increased the difficulties of
neutral states in attempting to protect
their Legitimate commerce, and at the
same time preserve neutrality as to con-
traband shipmsnts.
