Washington, Aug. 19:— It is yo Said to bereagonably certain no further protest will be made by Great Britain on behalf of English mercantile interests against the Panama Canal Bill if it takes finally the form reported from the conference committee, The British objection was laid flagainst discrimination against the British skipping. As such {shipping is not now privileged to enter into the American coast- wise trade, which alone under the committee’s report, is to re- ceive favored treatment in the canal, that objection is avercome, It is regarded as possible, however, that in deference to Canada, the British Government may object to the prohibition of the passage of railroad-owned ships, State department officials, however, are confident that this objection would not hold ‘under the treaty as the prohibition is applied to American vessels as well as others, and there could be no charge of discrimination, An agreement on the Panama Canal Administration , Bill was reached by the conference com- mittee of the House and Senate in which free passage is denied to American-owned ships en- gaged in foreign trade. Foreipn shipbuilding materials are ad- mitted free of tariff to the United States and the Interstate Com- merce Commission is given power to break up any combination of competing rail and water lines which it finds is not for ‘‘the public good.’’ As perfected in the conference committee, the canal bill now provides: Free passage for- American ships engaged in coastwise trade, American registry for Ameri- can-owned, foreign built ships engaged exclusively in foreign trade. No tariff on foreign shipbuild- ing materials for use in this country, Trust-owned ships prohibited from the canal. Railroads prohibited from own- ing competing waterway lines operating “‘through the canal or elsewhere. ’” One-man government for Pan- ama Canal and canal zone, In dropping the Senate clause | giving free passage to American ships engaged in the foreign trade, the conference committee yielded to those who considered that clause a direct violation -of the treaty with Great Britain. Practically all the foree of the Bourne railroad amendment at- tached to the bill in the senate was retained by the conference committee. It was rewritten to give the Interstate Commerce Commission the right to deter- mine whether railroads should be allowed to hold water lines and to sanction such ownership when it was in the public interest. ~The railroad section of the bill is drastic and broad in the pow- ers it confers on the Interstate Commerce Commission. It pro- hibits railroads, after July, 1914 from owing or controlling com- peting steamer lines, ‘‘operating} . through the Panama Cana! or elsewhere,” and gives to the In- terstate Commerce Commission the power to determine whether the railroad and the steamship lines are “competing carriers’ within the meaning of the law. : THE OMINEGA MINER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24,1912 > * BALE THE HAY By G, H, ALForp Baled hay is much more’ valu- able asa feed then loose hay, even when the loose hay is well housed, Loose hay carries a great quantity of dust and often gives the farm animals a severe cough while baled hay does not. Baled hay takes up about one- fifth as much room as loose hay and for this reason the entire crop of baled hay can usually be stored under cover while loose hay must be exposed to the weather in stacks and ricks, Baling breaks up coarse hay so that the stock will eat it more readily and there is no waste in feeding baled hay. ; Baled hay is always ready for the market. It is convenient and satisfactory to handle in every way. It can be hauled by team or shipped by railroad. Much of the tops and sides of the stacks is spoiled by the weather. Loose hay becomes dusty and musty. Baling keeps out the ‘dust and preserves the hay. Baled hay retains much of the sweet hay oder that stock relish. There is a freshness and appetiz- ing quality and feeding value in baled hay that is never found in loose hay. We should bale our hay whether we feed it on our own farms or sell it. Of course, the and for baled hay only, and for this reason baling is the only way to be sure of having a mar- ket for it, The growing of hay and espe- cially leguminous hays such as cowpea, soy bean, neanut and lespedeza will rapidly increase the fertility of our soil, make the growing of good livestock profit- able and add very much to the income on the farms, We can buy a one-horse or a two-horse pull power hay press or we can buy a motor hay press, For the small farmer who bales his own hay, the one-horse pull power hay press will prove very satisfactory and economical. With ithe can bale his hay at the time most convenient and with a small amount of help, For the farmer who grows large quantities of hay or for the farm- er who bales hay for his neigh- bors, the two-horse pull-power or the motor hay press is nec es- Bary. Of course, no man can tell the exact capacity of any hay press as this depends to a eonsiderable extent upon the kind and quality of hay being baled, the skill of the operators, and the speed of the team. However under ordi- nary conditions a 14x18 two-horge pull power hay press will bale about 8 tons per day, a 14x18 press operated with a three-horse tons per day, a 16x18 press with a four-horse power engine about 14 tons per day, and a 17x22!- preas with six-horge power engine 16 tons per day. We should purchase a hay prese that has been designed for convenience, There should be a considerable ‘distance between the sweep and the feeding table, located at the extreme end of. the press so that the baling chamber may be set wellinto the interior of the shed or barn and ample room be had for the revol- ution of the sweep to be. made outside of the shed or barn. An- other advantage of the arrange- ment of such a press is that the bale chamber may be set. between two stacks and fed from both press, The close arrangement of feeding table and sweep will not allow sufficient space for the sweep to describe the circle necessary fo operate the press, The reach bed should not be more than four or: five inches high to enable thé horses to walk over it without the least trouble, When operating presses that have| jor a high step-over, the horses will] ™2 generally slow down, hesitate, . ‘and often stumble at thin Pala: market demand is for baled hay |~ power engine will bale about 12) Both of these points should bel, of Glasgow, Scotland, stacks without resetting the} _| less to which is annoying to the man, ge wearing on the horses, and slack- . ens the speed of the press, The power construction of the press should be such that when the horses reach - tha’ step-over, they are pulling practically no. load. One stroke should be com- pleted before they reach the step- over and the load of the next stroke should not begin until the low narrow step-over has been passed, The bale chamber should be very low so that itis an easy matter to reach across and tie the bale, This saves much time and trouble as, in tying the bale, it is not necessary to go around the bale chamber to the opposite side. The press should be principally constructed of steel and high grade iron and should be strong and durable, The two-horse pull power press and the motor baling press should have a self-feed attachment as it increases the capacity of thel] press and at the same time re-| | duces the work of feeding the press. The hay press is a’ money . maker and @ money saver and should be used on every farm, EALED TENDERS addressed to the un- dersigned, and endorsed ‘Tender for the Construction of a Breakwater in Victoria Harbour.
