A FEW WORDS ABOUT The essential features of a hay press con sists of rapidity to do nice smoth work at the least possible expense. As fractically ail hav presses now being- made give two strokes to each round of the horse, the question to be consid ered in determining the rapidity of the press would be length of stroke, the size of feed-hole the amount of hay thal can be put in to feed-hole between strokes. Light draft is, of corse, a question of leverage, in determining which, one must consider the length of driving arm in compari son with the length of stroke. The action of driving arm must be such as will constantly increased resistance to the hay. To make smoth bales, first a good tucker is required, then the tying must be properly done. Note carefuily what press offers the best facilities for tying.
