=14EI E!EsE 40 81 a vi
COTTON BALES.

MY BUTTON TIE was the first offered for sale
lYk to any extent in the South, and has been
used by thousands Of planters with universal ap-
prevail / have made valuable Improvement In
the shape Of the button since it was first intro
duced, and have also procured potent Tor
Buckle Tie, which, for simplicity facility and ex-
petition of adjustment to bales of any or OF I'M
equal sizes, and for security in holding, is think,
superior to any offered to the public.
The advantages of iron over rope for baling cot
ton are now universally acknowledged 1t holds
the bale in much smaller compass; is applied
and fastened with much more facility, both in the
country pressing and re comprising at the sea-
ports; lessons immensely the risk from ire; Is
| stronger, and its strength is not impaired by
time and "xposure as that of rope. This last ad-
vantage has been strikingly ma Infested during
the war Thousands of bales of cotton have been
| lost by the rotting and breaking OF rope, which
could have been preserved if iron hoops had been
used. In addition TO this, it can be furnished
nearly fifty per cent. cheaper thanrTope. The de-
| rangement Of labor in the hemp growing States
has reduced the supply OF hemp to such an extent
/ as to cause prices to rule unprecedentedly nigh.
Indeed. a sHfficeBcy for baing moderate cotton
| crop cannot hereiied on at any price.
| The hoops are cut to lengths of 10, 10% and IL
| feet Ten feet are most generally used, but 10h
| and IL are sometimes required tor large bales
| The buckles are fastened to the hoops; the but :
tons win be put up IN small boxes The weight is
| about 10 pounds to the bale of cotton.
