II CLEANS COTTON SEED.
A Machine which Combs All the Lint
on the Seed of the Cotton.

on the seed of the Cotton.
New Orleans Times Democrat.
John II. Mccormick, an inventor of New
Orleans. exhibited a cotton seed dellnting ma
chine OF his invention in Carondeiet street
yesterday. and gave a practical demonstra-
zion Of the marvellous work 1t does.
Many years ago Mr. Mccormick realized
the necessity OF del.nting machine, and
1t was in 1885 that he began to experiment.
AT that time 1t was impossible to ship cot
ton seed from America TO foreign markets,
owing TO combustion. which was likely to
occur In transit, Mr.. Mccormick worked
asstduously for upward OF ffteen wears ana
the result of his labor is the machine tina.
completely eliminates this danger and opens
u new source OF profit to the cotton planters.
The Mccormick deinter removes every nber
of lint from the cotton seed, and makes It
as clean ana as polished as that OF any coffee
or other grain, Thoroughly cleaned by tn s
process the seed may be shipped in bulk or
in sacks, and the lint may be utilized as a
substitute Tor wood or rag pulp, used In the
manufaeture Of paper as we'll as for steam
packing and felt.
II would be hardly possible for a layman
TO give technical description of the ma
chine, Sunice 10 to say that the machine is
simple In construction, and is exactly what
the inventor asserts 10 to be- The lint-coY-
cred seed Is put into tho machine and comes
out perfectly cleaned, at the rate OF 1870
pounds per hour. The lint 10 separated from
the seed and is thrown out at one Mace VIII Ia
the clean seed are deposited on the opposite
side OF the machine, The lint Is scraped of
by means OF steel teeth and the exhaust fan
which generates the power to carry the seed
and lint to different apartments renders the
interior cool and prevents heat from friction
Seed that has been cleaned by the McCor-
mick machine is enhanced in value by IS a
ton, IN addition to the lint which Is worth
3a cents pound. One hundred and seventy
hve pounds OF lint are realized on each ton
OF seed cleaned.
Mr., Mccormick intends 70 organize a stock
company and place tho machine on the mar
ket In time for the fall crop.
