The best time to press hay being during
rainy weather when other farm work Is
stopped. the cost of baling Is merely nOin-
inal to those who hire their hands by the
month. as it gives these employment when
they would otherwise be idle. We re-
quest the attention ofthose in want of tiie
best and cheapest Hay Press in the mar
ket, to the following statements from gen
tlpmpn well koWn in this community, rs
to the operation ofthe Press last year.

GENTLEMEx:-TAe Utley~liay Press,
which YOU are manufacturing, | used last
winter and spring. aud bslcd several crops
of hay. The press does net work well In

work. After the hands became expert
enced in the press they could readily put
up fifteen bales in II day. weighing 800
pounds per bale. and fifty-sS of these
bales eau. be packed In q first class ear. or
forty-eight in II second class car. The
best crop | had baled averaged 301 Mounds.
and some bales were made weighing rs
much rs 4S0 pounds. III one or the cars
that | loaded there were put over l7,Wsoo
pounds and there can be that much ply
in every first class car.

GENTLEMEN:-We consider the hay
balcd by the Utley Hay Press of your
manufacture fully equal in all important
requisites to that baled in the best nor
thern presses, aud far superior in its sala-
bic qualities, viz: conipactness. size and
proportion of bales to any that We have
seen baled at the South. We have re-
ceived II number of consignments of hay
during the past season, and found that
baled in your presses the most profitable
for shipping to the Southern market. In
Il visit to Macon Ca, we saw % timber of
bales sent from New England, which
were Inferior in every respect except tho
quality of the liay to the bales male In the
Utlcy Press. We consider 1t the. only
press making understandable bales Intro
duced into East Tennessee, ami can there
fore fully recommend it to all who wish
to ship their hay to distant markets.
