Messrs. RICHARDSON, BURR IS FERRY:
GENTs:-Using four hands l have made
with the Itley Hay Press. purchased from
you, twenty bales il a winter day. aver
aging about two hundred and forty
pounds each. The heaviest bale weighed
Il little over three hundred pounds. and !
believe that with more care in bailin2, my
bales would have averaged much heavier
than theydid. | packed from fOrty-liVe
to forty-eiyht bales in Il ear.

TLEMEN:-In answer to your letter in
qulrillg as to the performance of the Ut
ley Hay Press, sent me by your firm last
fall. take pleasure in stating, that with
four hands. | have made eighteen bales in
one day, averaging about two hundred
and fifty pounds, and that I have packed
torty-eight of the bales in a car, the total
weight being 12,136 pounds. The heaviest
bale made by the press weighed over
three hundred pounds. and | am satisfied
with proper care in packing into the press.
all the bales conld be made of this weight.

GENTLEMEN:-The Utley HAY Press.
which you are manufacturing, / used last
winter and spring. and baled several crops
OF hay. The press does not work well in
the rain. but under cover il docs splendid
work. After the hands became expert
enced in the press they could readily put
up fifteen bales in Il dav. weighing 300
pounds per bale, and fifty-six of these
bales can be packed ina first class car. or
forty-eight in Il second class car. The
best crop | had baled averaged 30l pounds.
and some bales were made weighing as
much as $50 pounds. In n of the cars
that | loaded there were put over II. 900
pounds and there can be that much put
IN every first class car.

GENTLEMEN:-We consider the hay
baled by the Utley Hay Press of your
manufacture fully equal in all important
requisites TO that baled in the best nor
thern presses, and far superior i'm its sala-
bic qualities, viz: cOmpactness, size and
proportion of bales to any that we have
seen baled at the South. We have re-
celyed 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 a number of
bales sent from New England, which
We're inferior in every respect except the
quality of the hay to the bales made in the
CtIey Press. We consider IL the, OILY
press making merchantable bales intro
duced into East Tennessee, and can there
fore fully recommend il TO all who wish
TO ship their hay to distant markets.
