The bales made by these presses load and stow with economy of labor andspace, and iii use the layers of hay are neatly separable. Recent rapid adoption ofhigh-speed, reliable hay-baling presseshas caused a decided change in methodsof handling the great hay crop of thecountry, by making it an extremely avail-able shipping commodity, extending areasof consumption, and steadily shiftingareas of production westward in theUnited States, to the prolific, gniss-growing prairie regions where the broad,level stretches of land are peculiarlysuited to the use of Press.
