1t froiu the gin, ,d the card cylinder
takes it from the brush. 1t is thci
cardcd, drawn, rovcd and spun, as b,
the old method. BY this process there
is no tangling, naping, cutting OF
breaking of the fibrc-nO condcnsing
no packing, no opening, no picking
no tapping. e.
| ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW PROCESS.
BY this process only four machines
are necessary to convert any given
amount Of seed cotton into perfect
yarns-viz: card, as changed, draw
ing frame, specder and spinning
frame. 1t is true q cleanser of seed
cotton is used as Il preparatory ma
chine. Its size is 22X28xi4 inches ;
cost, $75; capacity, 5000 pounds of
s;cd cotton per day: power necessary
to drive, ono half of one horse.
Tho new process dispenscs with
fully onc-half the building, machinery,
motive power and operatives hitherto
necessary to convert any given amount
OF seed cotton into yarns; causes the
card, with the same amount OF motive
power, to do five times as much work {;
saves onc-half the usual waste, and
produces stronger silver, rove and
thread than can be made OF bulcd cot
ton, which, OIL account Of their extra
strength, seldom break or let down,
thereby enabling operatives to attend
more machinery. and each machine to
do more work. Tho thread is equal
in every respect to that made of balcd
cotton, fifty per cent. stronger and
more shecny.
The attachment supersctlcs the gin,
press and compress, because they arc
intended and only used to render cot
ton transportable; the willowcr, lop-
per, double lnppcr, breaker, and four
titths Of the cards, because they arc
only used to try to remedy the injury
done by the gin, press and compress;
it superscdcs the railway, railway
drawing-hcad. also all jack frames,
shubbers, mules, twistcrs, cvcncrs,
Nc, Nc, simply because they arc cost
ly and unnecessary machines, and
perfect thread can be made without
them.
TIE REASON WHY
the card will do five times rs much,
using the seed cotton and the same
amount of motive power, as it did bv
the old process, using balcd cotton, is
because the filamcnts are not allowed
to leave the machinery, fv or become
tangled, but arc kept straight and
parallel, and carding is but the
strengthening of the cotton filamcnts.
The saving of onc-half the usual waste
is because fresh, live cotton is used,
and half the usual machinery dis
pcnscd with. The extra strength of
the thread and skcin is owing to the
working of the cotton fresh from the
seed, tho oil Of which has kept it alive.

alternating qualities perfect; and the
tact that it as never been mapped,

compressed. or permitted 10 become
dry, seasoned or brittle in this tangled
condition, nor has il been injured bv

breaker, and cards. where tho damage
done by the gin, press, compress are
sought to be remcdicd. But these adj
vantagcs, great as they are, are not
half that are claimed for the "ncw pro-
cess"
THE cost.
Tho entire capital necessary for tho
smallest size new process mills, includ-
ing building and motive power, is $3,-
900, and will pay anet profit of 80 or
so per cent. per annun. (Sce report

WHAT is SAVED.
The ginning, baling, bagging and
ties are saved; the seed inure to the
manufacturers; no loss from falsely
packed cotton, no strikes among opera
tives, for it is the poor mans factory,
and his daughters are the operatives.
