FINGERS Or STEEL,
They Arc to Supplant Those OF the Ne
gro In Picking Cotton.

They Arc to Supplant Those OF the Nc
gro In Picking Cotton.
The essential feature is three hundred
and thirty fingers OF spindles projecting
through and from a hollow cylinder.
These fingers, says the New York Sun,
are ten inches long, and have at the end
brush or tip Of finc wire, and set in
four grooves radially is horse hair,
clipped SO it projects from the fingers
about one-twelfth of an inch, the tip and
the hairs on the side being the means
OF getting the cotton from the bolls.
The fingers or spindles are given q
whlrllng motion by system of cog
gear Enclosed within the cylinder. Nov
ing forward, the cylinder revolves, the
fingers come in contact with the cotton,
the whirling motion of the fingers en-
tangles the cotton lint and it is picked,
then carried upwards and backwards
until cleaned from the fingers by
brushes, and thrown into rcceptacles
holding sixty pounds of seed cotton.
The revolutions are so timed that the
hngers which project at the spollcs of u
wheel strike the plant without n ralzing
motion, for that would damage the
plant. No injury comes to the leaf and
boil from running the machine over the
plant.
With a width of four feet, length
seven feet and height of five and one
half feet, the machine, complete, weighs
about twelve hundred pounds, and is of
easy draught for two mules.
In the morning when the cotton was
slightly damp, gathering from one
row made by the machine weighed a
little more than thirty pounds; the
waste, knocked on the ground by the
machine, was picked up by hand and
weighed five ounces. In the afternoon,
with the cotton perfectly dry, the cot
ton picked weighed over twcnty-eight
pounds, and the waste picked up
weighed nearly three and one-half
pounds.
The time made was about five pounds
minute or three hundred pounds an
hour. Allowing time, literally, for
cmptying the receptacles, stopping for
repairs, meals, and so on, the machine
could easily work ten hours q day and
would gather three thousand pounds at
total expense of not more than three
dollars per day, making the total cost
of the picking for each bale one dollar
and fifty cents. At present prices the
cost is fully sixteen dollars.
