The Clement Attachment.


tachment cotton factories. They
seem to doubt their capacity to en-
gage successfully in the manufac-
ture of their cotton into yarns, yet
it is SO simple by the "new process"
hat any farmer of ordinary intelli-
gence could soon learn to conduct
one of these mills. AS to their not
having the capital, they are them
selves to blame for it. They stand
still and allow the merchants to alb
serb the greater part of the pro-
ceeds Of their toll, when, by simply
combining in the Grange and es-
tablishing cooperative stores they
could soon accumulate enough to
put up a small factory in every
neighborhood from the savings in
their ordinary business transactions.
| The farmer who has not the intelli-
gence to see and understand these
facts pays dearly for his ignorance
his family suffer in every way,
and his burdens grow heavier each
year.
The capacity of the Clement At
tachment has b,.en fully established
it has more than met the claims
of those who appreciate its great
worth. But there are doubtless
many farmers who still have doubts
in regard to its efficiency and its
prohtableness, and for the benefit
of these we publish the following
statements Of reliable Southern men
who have witnessed the practical
operations of the Clament Attach.

tory, Miss, writes: Il was shown
yarns manufactured from the seed
cotton, prepared by your Clements
machine, and without hesitation
pronounced it very superior thread
and especially so after examining
the seed cotton from which it was
made.
The success of your machine,
will, / think, work a great revolu-

by transferring the machinery nearer
to the cotton fields, for which the
Southern people NAV we'll look to
you as one of their greatest bene-
