ROUND COTTON BALES.


An Experiment Proves Them to BE So

BY new method, made from Waco,
Tex, arrived in Boston recently Il
was, says the Boston Journal Of Com
merce, the largest single carload Of
baled cotton that has ever como into
Boston, and consisted of liz bales.
They weighed $1,000 pounds, and Il Is
stated that fifteen bales more could
have been squeezed into the car. The
average capacity Of a box-car Is 10000
pounds, so that this load Of cotton
overrun the standard BY 5000 pounds,
and 10 estimated TO be 30 per cent.
more than Is put In the same space
when the bales are packed In the old
fashioned way.
The increased capacity Is produced
by what Is termed the Bessonnette
compress, Q new method Of baling re-
Gently patented. BY this method the
bales are made round. They are about
feet inches In length and feet in
diameter, with On average weight Of
about 500 pounds, and IRE intended TO
take the place Of the old-time boz
bales by this method the cotton Is
taken from the condenser and Is rolled
into q cylindrical bale, compressed as
II Is rolled up. The air Is thus forced
out Of the thin layer or mat, as II
comes out Of the condenser, and Is
kept out BY being rolled between two
ponderous rollers Of several tons each.
The inventor claims many ndvan-
tages In cost and protection Of the
