Tho best time to press hay being during
rainy weather when other farm work is
stopped, the cost Of baling is'merely nom
inai 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 oftlose i'm want Of the
best and cheapest Hay Press in the mar
ket, to the following statements from gem
tleincn well kown in this community, rs
to the operation of the Press last year.

Messrs. RICHARDSON, BURR Il TERRY:
GENTs:-Using fcur hands / have made
with the Utlcy Hay Press, purchased from
you, twenty bales in a winter day, aver
aging about two hundred and forty
pounds each. The heaviest bale weighed
a little over three hundred pounds. and |
believe that with more care In bailing, my
bales would have averaged much heavier
than they did. | packed from fOrty-fivs
to fopty-eight bales in 9 car. ,,,,p

GENTLEMEN:-The Utley Hay Press,
which you are manufacturing, | used last
winter and spring. aud balcd several crops
of hay. The press does not work well In
the rain, but under cover 1t docs splendid
work. After the hands became expert
enced in the press they could readilv put
up fifteen bales In a day, weighing 800
pounds per bale, and ffty-six of these
bales can be packed I'm a first class car. or
fOrty-eight in u second class car. Tie
best crop l had baled averaged 301 pounds,
and some bales were made weighing rs
much as 4S0 pounds. In one of the cars
that / loaded there were put over 1900
pounds and there can be that much put
in every first class ear. n
Respectfully, L. NJ. CAMPBELL
KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. June a, 1870. y
MeSSrs. Richardson, Burr & Terry.
GENTLEMEN:-We consider the hay
baled by the Utley Hay Press of your
manufacture fully equal1n all important
requisites to that baled i'm the best nor
thern presses, and far superior in its sala-
bic qualities, viz compactness, size and
proportion of bales to any that we have
seen baled at the South. We have re-
ceived a 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
a visit to Macon Ca, we saw n number Of
bales sent from New England, which
were inferior in every respect except the
quality of the hay to the bales made in the
Utley Press. We, consider It the. only
press making understandable bales intro
duced into East Tennessee, and can there
fore fully recommend IL to all who wish
to ship their hay to distant markets.
