| This pillow has some new features which
attracted our attention. and we were assured
l'y the manufacturer that it proves Il general
iivoritc among the farmers who test its

A VALUABLE HAY PRrss.-Massys Wool

most excellent hay press to which we call
the attention OF our farmers. From all we
can learn, we consider il thc' best now in
use. 1T occupies very small space, and
a vast deal of power can be applied to it
with very SMALL force. The whole power
wanted is a couple of farmers Logs. No

of Mr.. X. WalNpan of Port Deposit
Another advantage it has. is that it costs
less than any hay press now used. To
