TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



venience about this press. The cap is moved ofiF one side of the 

 box, resting upon the sway bars at each end, so that a child can 

 handle it, thus leaving the top of the box open and unobstructed 

 for filling. The wrought iron bars in the centre of the press are 

 so jointed and arranged as to be easily detached from the cap and 

 let down, to allow the bale to roll out when desired. This press 

 will make a bale of hay from 200 to 300 lbs., and is light work 

 for two men. It is also used for straw, paper, rags, wool, &c.
