ducks. Mr.. Earl is interested in the
Oak Lake association and some tim
ago placed lot of tame ducks
on the lake to act as decoys to
wild ducks during the emigrating
season. The result has been that the
ducks have alighted, and some OF
them have become practically tame
themselves. They roost with the
tame ones every night and seem to
have given up most of their wild
habits. According to Captain NJ. b.
Davis, secretary of the Audubon So
ciety of Texas this Is the second In.
cident of the kind ever reported in
Texas.

produces vacuum In tank connect
ing with a receptacle for the gathered
cotton. Two or more lines of hose
each 100 feet long, connect with the
cotton tank. At the end of each hose
is a specially constructed and patent
ed nozzle, controlled by the operator.
This nozzle placed near the opened
boil of cotton draws the cotton into
the hose and deposits it in recepta-
Gle on the wagon. The boil is cleaned
of every fibre of cotton and the vac
uum is so delicately adjusted that it
will draw into the receptacle only
the clean cotton with no leaves or
trash. 4 strip 200 feet wide. 100 feet
each side of the wagon, can be gath
cred with the machine. IL does not
require expert operators TO handle the
nozzle and any man or boy can run

from the operators hand no dirt will
be drawn in. The cotton on the tall
est and shortest plants is gathered
with equal ease. When the receptacle
Of the machine Is full it is emptied
readily into sacks or on a tarpaulin.
Two men will gather 14O0 pounds of
cotton in day working ten hours,
which is easily seen to be an enor-
nous saving of labor.
Mr.. Thurmans announcement Of the
invention of this machine and the
fact that he was ready for the mar
kct. has aroused tremendous interest
in the circles concerned in cotton pro-
duction. Every day scores of visitors
call at the office OF the Vacuum Cot
ton Picking Machine Co, in st. Louis
to personally inspect the machine. II
has already become apparent that 1t

meet the demand for this machine.

In the cotton report issued by the
government for 1907. the fact that no
machine had ever been invented to

was bewailed. II is admitted by all
that the enormous loss in gathering

the impossibility by reason OF labor

heretofore been the chief obstacle in
the path of the cotton grower. Since
