International Hay Presses International Harvester Company of America, Incorporated, Chicago, USA (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from International Hay Presses: International Harvester Company of America, Incorporated, Chicago, USA <p>In localities where but little or no hay is grown, and where there is a big demand for hay, high prices will be offered. The best markets are, as a rule, found in large cities, and on account of the limited space offered for storage in cities, there is a greater demand for baled hay than for loose hay. If the hay is baled it can be easily shipped to the market offering the highest price. <p>In feeding hay to his own stock, the farmer will find a great convenience and saving in having it baled, as it is much easier to handle baled hay than it is to drag loose hay around with a fork, and there is always considerable waste when loose hay is fed, due to its being scattered about the barn or feed lot. Baled hay can be stacked much easier and better than loose hay, and on account of the compactness of the stacks they can be protected from the weather by canvas coverings at a low cost. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
