Hay Press. 
D EDERTCK’S patent horizontal portable 
HAY PRESS.—This Press is manufactured only by 
the subscribers, proprietors of the Premium Agricultural 
Works, Albany, N. Y. This Press -was in the lGth No. of 
the Country Gentleman, and the June No. of the Cultivator. 
Since that time tome v ery valuable and essential improve¬ 
ments have been made. A new and improved capstan has 
been invented, by which the horse, without being removed 
from the sweep, operates the follower both backward and 
forward, thereby dispensing with the windlass (seen in the 
cut) for drawing the follower back. 
Dederick’s Horizontal Pre s, as exhibited at the N. Y. 
State Fair in 1852, constructed so ns to press from each end 
of the frame towards the center, by means of a single lever or 
toggle joint, has been abandoned as impracticable. Parallel 
levers, and pressing from one end of the frame, obviate all 
tiie directions against the original plan. The Horizontal 
Press,, as thus improved and now manufactured by us, is uni¬ 
versally admired and approved; its advantages, compared 
with the vertical or upright press, are too numerous to be 
specified in a limited notice. Descriptive circulars will be 
promptly sent upon application. Warranted to give satisfac¬ 
tion, or they may be returned. Orders solicited and prompt¬ 
ly filled. DEERING A DEDERICK,

Hay Press —Dederick’s vs. Emery’s. 
S OME considerable feeling having arisefn between Mr. 
Dedertck and myself concerning the originality or priori¬ 
ty of designing and improving the Hay press, I have taken 
considerable pains to ascertain the merits of each, and have 
learned what I knew not before; and further, feeling a due 
regard for other’s interests, as well as for my own, I here make 
the following statement: 
In reference to the difference between me and Mr. Deder- 
ick, I have learned since the publication of my Description*, 
Ac., in No. 34 of the Country Gentleman and the Sept. No. 
of the Cultivator, that I have been laboring under a misun¬ 
derstanding of Mr. Dederick’s claims to originality, as the first 
designer of a Portable Horizontal Hay Press. I now find that 
Mr Dederick has a prior claim to the designing of the Horizon¬ 
tal Press, describee as mine, and further that the presses built 
by Emery & Co., were (with the exception of the substitution 
of iron for wood in some parts) substantially similar to the 
model exhibited at the New Y'ork Stale Fair in 1852, by Mr. 
Dederiek. HORACE L. EMERY. 
The above concession having been made by Mr Emery, I 
have concluded to drop the whole controversy. With refer¬ 
ence to the portions of his advertisement not embraced in this 
concession, the public are already sufficiently informed, and 
will he able to judge correctly of the merits of the case.

Emery’s Improved Horizontal Progressive Lever 
Hay Press. 
T HE above cut represents the external view of Emery’s 
Portable Hay Press. As seen in the cut, it is closed up, 
and about midway in process of pressing a bundle of hay. 
When fully pressed, ihe ends of the levers which- are seen at 
each end exlending above ihe box, are brought down by the 
chains and shieves until the levers themselves are in a hori¬ 
zontal position. 
The press is provided with followers, working from both the 
ends toward the center. The chains or ropes from the levers 
are connected by passing one of them under the press, and 
joining- in a larger chain or rope, this larger one connecting 
with a capstan, or blocks and ropes 
When the press is driven home, the hay becomes pressed 
into a bundle, standing on end; the side doors are thrown 
open, while the bands are passed round the bundle and secu¬ 
red; the followers and the doors are loosened, and the bundle 
thrown out. For operation, the levers are raised and follow¬ 
ers drawn back, and the top opened by means of two doors, 
which are buttoned down in the centre by a crossbar, as seen 
in the cut. The opening in the top for receiving the hay, be¬ 
ing about two feet wide and eight feet long. The press stands 
on the ground or floor when in use, which makes it conveni¬ 
ent for filling and treading the hay. 
The size is 14 feet by three on floor, and five feet high, 
outside measurement; weighs from twelve to sixteen hun¬ 
dred pounds, and is capable of compressing two hundred and 
fifty pounds of timothy hay into sixteen cubic feet, at the 
rate of five bundles per hour, with two or three men and one 
horse ; and heavier bundles in proportion, as to size and time. 
The above press, with the improvements adopted, and as 
now constructed by us, making it an efficient machine for 
the purpose designed, is offered to the public wilh renewed 
assurances of its merits. This construction is the first and 
only successful, Horizontal Press, working from both ends, 
or that has proved sufficiently strong in its several parts to 
withstand the. required pressure for hay, and at the same time 
giving satisfaction to the purchaser. They are made of the 
best of materials, and of the lightest proportions consistent 
with the resistance to be overcome; making it a neat, strong, 
light, and desirable press on account of its portability and 
adaptation for Barn or Field operation. 
ft is afforded at the low price of $135, including capstan 
and ropes, or chains for operating it; (which is much less 
than others of equal capacity,) and as no extra charges or 
claims are made by any one for any Patent Rights on the 
same, ihe Farmer runs no risk of being annoyed by suits at 
law for owning and using them. EMERY A CO.
