that the machine is a success.
The machiu'e. is driven by an au
tomobile engine, and tbe driver
sits in frout and steers the ma
chine astride a row'of cptton. It
moves over a row as fast as a man
can walk, picking about an acre
an hour Two projecting "noses"
run ahead of .the machine, on each
aide of the row, and lift up the
limbs that are near the ground.
Th limbs are all gathered up and
pressed into a space about a foot
id&. While the stalk is thus
held, small steel spindles reach
through it from both sides, reach
ing everr inch of space. On one
side of esch Spindle is a row cf
small teeth, so short that they
will not catch hold of anything
except the cotton fiber. These
spindles are revolving rapidly and
when a lock of cotton is touched
it is caught and wrapped around
the spindle, thus twisting it out of
tke burr. The spindles then move
out cf t he plant, stop revolving,
and the cotton is taken off by ribs
sitniliar to the breast of a gin. It
falls on conveyers which empty it
in bgs at the rear of the mach
ine. -A boy sits on the rear of the
machine and packs the cotton in
the bags. The boy would not be
needed if the bags were large
enough to hold a round without
packing.
Very few pieces of locks are left
in the burrs. The cotton left is
usually in whole bolls or locks.
The spindles either miss them or
else are already loaded wlien thev
come in contact with them. When
a spindle engages a lock, it usual '
ly twists it all out. Running the
machine over a row the second
time demonstrated tha fact that
practically all the Cotton could be
gotten the first time by doubling
the capacity of the machine,
which can be done by lengthening
the battery of spindles.
Angus Campbell, of Pittsburg,
the inventor of the machine, is al

it eight or ten years. It has also
