staple and they lift the product out of
the bolls without injuring the plant.
One of the greatest difficulties that
was met with in perfecting this me-
chanical picker, was to so regulate the
machinery as to not harm the unripe
cotton bolls.
1t was demonstrated that this ma
chine can pick 225 pounds of cotton in
80 minutes in an ordinary field At
this rate 1t would pick nearly bale Of
cotton In an hour In other words, It
does the work of fifteen or twenty
ordinary field hands. The services Of
only one man Is required to operate
the machine. Part Of the time another
man is required to unload the bags
Of cotton as fast as they are filled.

of cement draintiles, large size, for
the simple fact that quite portion Of
the first thousand feet collapsed short

without waiting for frost, wet wealth
er OF other disintegrating cause. This
failure was not due to the fact that
cement tile may not be made so that
they will be satisfactory and durable,
but that the tile in question were not
thus made The incident simply en-
phasizes a suggestion made in these
notes not long ago that there are a
number Of incompetents engaged in
the manufacture Of cement tile who
not only use gravel with dirt or clay
in it-and hence unfit-or scrimp In the
amount Of cement which goes into the
mixing machine. Cement manufac-
turers need more thorough organiza-
ton, not FOR the purpose Of meeting
the competition Of the clay tile men,
but to put out OF business cement tile
manufacturers, either greenhorns or
knares, who cannot or will not make
cement tile that will stand up and do
the business. AS we have said before,
a good cement tile is as durable as 8
good clay tile, but poor one isn't

he was ready to deliver my watch.
His master clock has q 39.1 inch pen
dulum, so it ticks seconds. Each Of
the first ffty-five ticks in each minute
is announced by q telegraph sounder
in the clock, then the last five seconds
are silent. The matchmaker rested a

wheel Of the watch to stop it, then set
all the hands, hour, minute and second
at 4.O6OO and waited. When the 81
lence of the sounder indicated 1856
he got ready, and five seconds later, on
the first tick Of 4:06, he lifted the
brush and the watch gtarted. By
looking at the second hand with
