CAMPS COTTON CHOPPER.

Letters patent have been issued to Mr..
S. n. Camp, of this parish for very in
genius farming implement with the above
name. The Chopper has been tested by
Mr.. Camp on his own farm and has proved
q perfect success. 1t consists of double
pillow stock near the shape of wagon
hound, with a wheel that runs with, and
directly between the plows. The plows
have a wing or mold board on the inside,
the ends Of which arc just far enough
apart for the wheel TO rcvolve without
striking. The wheel is 30 inches high
with six spokes, the ends Of which are Is
inches apart. On the ends of the spokes il
n u shaped box, with the open part front
while ON the ground; size of box inches.
The axle of the wheel runs in gudgeons,
which are attached to the beams of stock
directly over the wings of the plow. The
piows run astride or on both sides of the
cotton row; the wheel running directly on
the cotton row. A the plows move, the
wheel steps from box to box, they being
the distance apart the cotton is desired to
be left. The plows cover all the cotton,
grass and everything that Is between the
boxes and, as the boxes strike the ground
in front of the plows, and remain there an
til the plows pass, the dirt is heaved mp
around the boxes, and as the boxes arc
raised up the dirt crumbles in from every
way around the plant which the box pre-
served, covers up the little grass immedi-
| ately around the cotton plant, and leaves
it braccd aud nicely "dirted' with loose
pulvcrized dirt. Thus with the machine,
one mule and one hand, it does the work
| of 2 mules and s or hands; and much
better, for il almost completely cleans 1t
and leaves il in a condition that one hand
with the hoe can do the work Of or 3 the
second working to say nothing Of the lux
uriant growth Of the cotton after being
worked with the machine. The first coat
of grass being destroyed, the victory Is
won. for that is the grass that gives the
trouble in cultivating crop the old way
of barring off and scraping out. Any man
" no can make good plow stock can make
