Baled hay may be shipped where the price is highest. It takes up only one-nith of the stor­ age space required by loose hay. It retains its feeding value longer, and is easier to handle. These advantages more than offset the cost of baling, which is very small when done by an W for Ladies is now complete. i T e le p h o n e 5 0 2 piece dresses, ladies’ skirts and children’s dresses. carry Motor or Horse-Driven We the latest and most A tto rn e y -a t-L a w Room 8, Uglow Bldg.

The hay press works on the powerful toggle-joint principle, the power being applied through a pull, not a push. An adjustable bale tension assures bales of uniform weight. A roller tucker folds the loose ends of each charge well down into the bale, keeping it smooth and neat. The bale chamber is so low that bales can be tied by reaching over the machine. Th e I H C pull-power press, made in one and two-horse sizes, is a similar press with a bed reach and horse power mechanism in place of the I H C engine. The reach- is only four inches high, making it easy for the horses to i-tep over. Th e horses are pulling no load when they cross the reach. A self feeder is made for both the motor and horse-driven presses. Bale ch a m b ers are 14x18", 16x18" and 17x22" in size.
