 wise, 1-foot from the top, lay a similar 

 connection for the pipe leading to the 

 downspout. Fill in 18 inches of coarse 

 charcoal. Cover the charcoal with 6 

 inches of sand and gravel. Place the 

 slab cover on the filter, and the cistern 

 is ready for use. 



Below is given the amount of materials 

 required for the cistern and filter. Since 

 the prices given are liberal, by getting

Sand, V/2 cubic yards, at $1.00 5.50 



Portland cement, 18 barrels, at $2.50. 45.00 

 Reinforcement (18^"xlO' rods), 93 



Ibs., at 2J4c 3.10 



Total $64.70

 easily build his own cistern with ordi- 

 nary farm labor.

Bale Tour Hay and Hold It 



Tor Top Market 

 Prices! 



Baled hay can be stored in one-fifth the space required for loose hay. 

 You can hold your entire hay crop till prices go up then sell at the 

 greatest profit. The difference between the price you get for loose hay 

 near home and the top price you can get anywhere, for baled hay, 

 quickly pays for an I H C hay press. 



I H C Hay Presses 



have many points of strength, simplicity, and convenience found in 

 no other presses. They are equipped with a compound lever and a 

 toggle joint plunger, which gives them their great compressing power. 

 A 500 pound pull on the sweep of a 16 x 18 1 H C press gives 76,800 

 pounds pressure in the bale chamber. 



The bed reach is only about 4 inches high and very narrow. The 

 bale chamber is very low easy to reach over to tie 

 the bale. 



These presses are reasonable in price and 

 are proved best by years of service. They 

 are supplied to be operated with either one 

 ,1 or two horses and the International Motor 

 Baling Press is furnished with a 3, 4, or 6- 

 Phorse power I H C gasoline engine a hay press 

 and portable engine in one.
