ANOTHER COTTON PICKKR.
Said to Pick Open 0>tton Without
Own Rolls.
Patents have been recently Issued
to Crawford Eliot on a cotton picker
or harvester which he has perfected i
is the result of nearly seven years
constant effort. The basic patent
granted covers forty different claims.
The machine has been tested for
two years in the cotton fields, anil
with it one man and team of mules
will do the work of forty hand
>ickers. Only the ripe cotton is
)ickpd. and this is done without lnlury
to the green cotton or the
dooms.
The principle of t.he machine is a
louhle row of l)ristle brushes about
me and one-half inches in diameter
md fourteen inches long, spiuuing
rapidly in such a manner that the
evolving brushes are introduced in0
the plants close to the ground
md drawn up in a vertical line
through tlie plants, the brushes ponerating
the bushes from both si.les of
:he row. The ripe cotton adheres
.0 the brushes, while the rest of the
ilant is not in any way affected, the
brushes travelling to a receptacle
" here they are stripped of the cotion
and the operation is repeated.
It is said that t.he machine lias
>een thoroughls tested and demonstrated
that it will do the work of
1 quarter ol the cost of hand iabor.
which means a saving of $150,000,1)00
a vear to the Cotton growers.
The invention, which has beeu pur- j
hosed by t.he National Cottou Harvester
Company of Chicago, III. j
menus much to the growth and ex-'
mansion of the cotton industry, and
t will undoubtedly add immensely
;o the annual wealth of all the coiton
growing state. *

j a counter charge. As the cow came
! at full speed Godwin picked up the
club and dealt a blow which knock|
ed one horn from its socket. This
force swerved hhe cow enough eut of
| her course to prevent her striking
| hint, but it did no' lessen her desire
for his death. Just as quickly as
! she could turn she chitreed again,
| anl again Godwin dealt her another
blow which knocked t.he ether
I horn entirely off. Again she wbeei|
ed and charged, and this time God'
win's club landed so hard across her
j nose that the bones were broken.
The cow then gave up t!?e fight
and was made to join the main .herd.
While this struggle for life was in
progress Godwin's companion was
safely up a sapling. He had estaulisiie.l
the Fayette county record for
speed in climbing when tbw irst
charge was made.
