Rain and the Hay Product,

Every farmer strives to get his hay
beyond the washing influence of rain
as soon as possible. Rain water may
dissolve and remove more than 10 per
cent of the dry matter of hay, and
what is thus removed may represent
quite 20 per cent of the feeding value.
Half an inch of rain means some fifty
tons of water per acre, and If the crop
be equally spread over the ground, it
is, of course, subjected to the whole
of the washing influence of this guam
tity Of water. But if the crop be put
into cocks that occupy only one-tenth
of the area, 1t follows that the hay
will be affected by only one-tenth of
the rainfall. that is to say, by five in
stead of fifty tons of water. Not only
does water actually wash out much Of
the soluble and most valuable constit-
uents of hay but it also removes the
aroma, and leaves the crop much less
appetizing as food for stock The
color, too, suffers, and with it the sell.

MINES REOPEN.
AmaISamated Company Orders
Resumption Of Work in
Montana.

Butte, Mont, Nov. lin accord
ance with statement by William
Scallon, president of the Anaconda
Mining Company, and the representa-
tive of the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany, to the Butte Miners union, that
if Governor Toole would summon the
legislature in special, session for the
enactment Of "fair trial" bill,
which provides for the removal of any
case from any judge where bias and
prejudice are shown, the Amalgarated
would Immediately resume operations

ent of the Amalgamated properties in
Butte, has issued an order for all the

from Helena that the governor had Or

The governors action followed the
receipt of petitions to him from every
labor organization and business mems

asking that an extra session be called,
that legislation remedial to the present
state of affairs in the state be enact ted.
The resumption of the Amalgamated
properties means the return to work of
approximately 10000 men and the
averting of an industrial crisis in Mon
tana, as the Amalgamated company op-
crates in at least six different counties.
In Butte alone it restores payroll of
about 1925 900 day. Seven thousand
men resumed work in Butte this nom.
ing
Governor Toole, in his proclamation,
disclaims any reflection upon the integ.
rity of the judiciary of the state, and
says his call for an extra session is
solely in response to the formidable re-
quests presented to him by the state of
Montana, and the fact that thousands
of idle men will be permitted to return
to work.
Mr.. Scallon, in an interview with
the Associated Press representative de-
clared he had ordered Superintendent
Gillie to resume operations in all the
mines of the Amalgamated company,
work commencing with the morning
shifts, which go on at o'clock.
"The Amalgamated company is will
ing 10 trust it's case to the legislators
OF the state" he said, land there is
not the slightest desire on the part of
the company to see any one suffer;
therefore we will open at once, without
waiting until Dec. or after, to see
what the Legislators will do. All we
ask is fair play"

Can a Farmer Make Money

My answer is that very many farm
ers do make money One must hrst
consider what the Investment is i'll an
ordinary farm. A general farm OIL
eighty acres, with usual improve
ments, would not inventory more IMAM
$4,000 to $1,000. With the larger hg-
ure the net income at 10 per cent
should be $500; yet no farm that IS
considered to be at all profitable pro-
duces so little income as TINS 1he
daily living. which must be charged 10
income, would amount to more IMAM
this. If the general farmer comes
out even" at the end of the year. he
has. nevertheless, made good rate
on his investment, and he mas IN
creased the value of his home at the
same time. The difficulty with farm
ing, considered from the financial
point of view is not that the rate or
income is low, but that the amount or
profitable investment is small. Con-
sidered in it's bearing on the national
welfare, this fact is propitious, for IL
means that the farm provides an In
dependent business of small resources.
Considered as a means of producing
great individual fortunes, however, the
farm is inadequate, and 1t Is to be
hoped that it always will be so, for at
least one great profession or business
should be measured in other terms
than money-producing power for the
individual.
There is untold wealth in the soil.
There are practically no exhausted"
soils; they are mostly humus robbed
and poorly handled soils. No one has
ever yet reached the limit, on any con
siderable scale, of what the soil is
capable of producing. Many men
make comfortable living on ten to
fifty acres of land, and yet they al
ways expect to produce more next
year. Only here and there are we be-
ginning to develop really scientific
and businesslike agriculture.
The opportunities in farming are
great. 1t is almost impossible for
man to fail, if he knows the business
and has abilities that would lead him
to success in other undertakings. 1t
Is general belief that almost any
man can leave the city and make a
living on a farm. This is grievous
error. Farming must be learned, as
must engineering or teaching. 1t can
not be learned from book or a bulle-
tin, but by farming. The older the
man when he makes radical change
Of business the less are his chances Of
success II he has been in subor-
dinate position in his former business
his chances of success in farming are
less, for he will probably be deficient
In executive handling and initiative
Often a druggist or preacher will
think that he can go to farming with
every assurance Of success; yet he
would not think that farmer could

Newly Appointed Minister From
Paname Writes a Letter.

Washington, Nov. | M Philippe
Bunau Narilla, the newly accredited
minister OF the republic of Panama may
soon awake to realization of the fact
that he has made Il serious blunder in
addressing a letter to United States
S enator Morgan, of Alabama, the lead
er OF the advocates of the Nicaragua
canal, and the open enemy of the Pan
ANA route, in which the senator is ad-
vised and invited to join forces with the
new republic and aid in a prompt con-
clusion of canal treaty between the
United States and the isthmian repub-
lie. The knowledge that the minister
has taken such a step has disconnected
official circles, ssand has almost carried
CONSERVATION into the ranks OF the
Panama adhereants.
1t is no secret that the act was a
rgoss breach of official etiquette. and
may result in NJ. NarillB being recalled.
To say that Senator Morgan is dis
pleased is stating fact mildly. 1t is
understood that at the first opportunity
he will rise in the senate and denounce
the action as suctfiient cause for the
minister g retirement He will contend
that it is an uncalled for interference
with him in his official capacity, and
contrast this official utterance with the
unofficial one of a former British min
lister, Lord Sackville- West, who was re-
called upon request made by Presi-
dent Cleveland.

the president shall receive satisfactory
evidence that Cuba is making provi-
sion to give the full effect of the treaty,
he is authorized to issue proclamation
declaring that he has received such ev-
idence, and on the tenth day of the
month thereafter it becomes effective.
It also provides that all articles now

the imports from any other foreign
country.

differential, and no reductions from
the tariff shall be allowed any other
foreign country on sugar.
1t provides further that nothing
therein contained shall be construed
as an admission on the part of the
house of representatives that customs
duties can be changed otherwise than
by the act of congress, originating in
said house.
The ways and means committee is
expected to report favorsbly to the
house without much delay. The com.

HAMILTON DEAD
SENATOR FROM PIERCE COUNTY
PASSES AWAY.
One of the Best Known and Most
Esteemed of Tacoma's Citizens
Flags at Half Mast Along En-
tire Water Front and on Ship
ping in Harboa.

Tacoma, Nov. - Edward Sherman
Hamilton. state senator and candidate
for the United States senator ship, died
at . o clock yesterday morning at the
family residence, 80 North Z street.
Surrounded by his stricken family,
whom he recognized in almost his last
moments by asking for his little daugh-
ter Edna, death came peacefully, quiz
city and without struggle. Despite
the gravity OF the frequent bulletins is
sued by the attending physicians, the
great shock to all who knew him,
scores of whom had seen him but few
weeks ago in apparently robust health.
Death resulted from typhoid fever
and pneumonia, in the middle of the
third week of the fever's course.
The death of Senator Hamilton de-
prives Tacoma and Pierce county of one
of OTIS best-known men and perhaps the
most indefatigable and successful work.
er in business and political affairs the
city has ever had. Senator Hamilton
came to Tacoma fifteen years ago, with
few cents and determination to win
success as his only assets. The day
after he reached the city he entered the
employ of the Puget Sound Stevedoring
company as a bookkeeper. He forced
his way upward through the minor
grades until, with w L. McCahe, he
formed the corporation known as Nc
Cabe & Hamilton, which now practice
ally controls the stevedorving business
of Puget Sound.
The story OF Senator Hamilton's sue
cess in business is the secret OF his SUBJ
sequent success in politics. Senator
Hamilton, the business man, was one
of his own employees. Stevedoring is
one OF the most laborious tasks that is
given to men, but even after he had
become an employer Mr.. Hamilton
asked no advantage Of his men.
Works With Employees.
If they toiled without meals or rest
for day and night because thou
sands of dollars were at stake to the
charters, Mr.. Hamilton remained at
work with them. If ore of them be-
came Ill or was injured, Mr.. Hamilton
personally took the first steps to bring
MIN fellcI. he INFUSED e0tnusldSW III
his men, probably more because Of his
example than because his firm never
had any labor disputes with their men
that were not settled on the mems
terms, and when the men asked it.
The fact that Senator Hamilton was
idolized by the workers along the water
front was made apparent year ago,
when en- effort was made to organize
the Longshoremen's and Stevedores'
union, and the men refused to organize
unless he gave his consent. He did
more than that. He made a speech
at their mass meeting advocating or
garization. The popularity Of Seua-
tor Hamilton on the front was again
apparent today, when flags on all the
vessels in the harbor were hung at
half mast and expressions OF deep re-
greet were general.
Senator Hamilton WAS no less looked
up to in the business and political
world than in the realm of labor. He
was man of sound judgement and of
integrity.
