viii RevOIutIonIze Cotton Pressing.

Several years ago we mentioned
that Mr.. VIM. Hill, the Alexandria
cotton buyer, had invented cotton
compress. Since that time he has
been working at odd times on the
Invention and to-day has a perfect
machine that will revolutionize the
cotton compress business of the
south. Itpresses square bale, and
the pregs can be sold at s., BOO, put
ting it within the reach Of every
ginner who turns out a thousand or
more bales. Tt is estimated that a
20 horse power engine will operate
the Hill press, giving the cotton
compressed four pounds greater
density than the best cotton COM
press now in use in the South
which cost $40, 900 or more. It will
revolutionize the cotton business
for the reason that instead of cotton
being brought to the large cities and
towns to be compressed, it will be
compressed in all parts of the coun-
try and shipped direct to the ports
for export. The principle ofthe Hill
