or two Screws. The larged: Sort will prefs two 
or three Tuns a-Day, the fmaller two or three 
Hogfheads in a Day. The fecond Sort of Prefs 
is the Piece-Prefs. This Sort is of an old Fa- 
fhion, and as the Screw Sort is much better, 
it is not much in Ufe, tho* in a great meafure 
it anfwers the End of a Screw- Prefs ; only, in- 
ftead of the Screw, a large Stone is made Ufe 
of, which contains about a Tun Weight, and 
by fuch its great Weight the Cyder is preffed 
out with much Trouble and Danger; there- 
fore, though a Tun of Cyder may be made by 
the Preffure of this Stone in one Day, it is re- 
jected by mod: Perfons. The third is the Pul- 
ley-Prefs, and is a very good one; for, inftead 
of preffmg out the Cyder by the Weight of a 
Stone, the Pumice is bound down and preffed 
by Pullies, two of which bind it down, and 
two take it up. This Prefs is made with a 
little Expence, and will make much Cyder in 
a Day; therefore I think it a ferviceable Prefs, 
efpecially for thole who make fm-all Quantities 
of Cyder, becaufe one Man can work this Prefs, 
when other Sorts require two or three. There 
is indeed another Sort of Prefs mentioned by 
Worlige , called a Flail- Prejs, with heavy 
Weights at the End of the Flails. As the Pulp 
yieldeth its Juice, fo thefe Weights follow it, 
until it be preffed as well as by this Means it 
can be done, and that without a conftant At- 
tendance, which is required in the Screw- Prefs. 
And the Liquor, as he ft vs, thus gradually ex-
