SIR RICHARD ARKWRIGHT AND SPINNING

The name of Sir Richard Arkwrigbt
is generally associated with the in
vention Of the mode of Spinning by
rollers and although the invention
cannot be ascribed to him he never
theless displayed unrivaled sagacity
in estimating at their true value the
mechanical co%ntrivances Of others.
The real inventor Of the spinning ma
chine is believed to be John Wyatt of
Birmingham for whose machine a pat
ent was taken out in 1873, about 80
years before Arkwight took out his
first patent.
Sir Richard Arkwight was a native
of Preston, Lancashire. He was
brought up to the trade of a barber.
in which business he set up himself
at Bolton in 1850. Later on he com
menced travelling about collecting
hair for wigs, or perukes as they
We're called. 1t is probable that dur
ing this travelling he first became in
terested in spinning machines. In
1857 he made the acquaintance of a
Warrington clockmaker named Kay,
who knew something of a spinning
machine with which Thomas Highs
had been experimenting, and Ark
wight employed Kay to make wooden
models under his direction. Shortly
afterwards the two proceeded to Pres
ton, as they were without the neces-
sary money to build a machine. At
Preston a machine was set up but was
not exhibited in public because the
public were so much against machines
and Arkwight thought it safer to re-
pair to Nottingham. Here in 1869 he
obtained a patent for his spinning
machine and in partnership with two
others erected a mill driven by

HowsBest to Handle
Barley Crop Of 1914

One of the leading grain buyers
was lamenting one day last fall the
shortage of good barley, He said
that he was discouraged in looking
for high grade barley as it was SO
very scarce. While uncomfortable
weather conditions have much TODD
with discoloring and ininring the bar
ley quality, there are a few things
that can be done toward safeguard
ing the crop.
IT a good variety that will stand
up Wei is chosen, such as Minnesota
1o5 or Odessa, S. D. 1S2, the lodging
difficulty will be lessened. If care is
used in adjusting the binder so as to
tie the bundles above the middle and
not below, the bundles will stand up
better in the shock. If the shocks
are stacked as oon as possible the
danger of discoloration due to rain on
the shock is minimized. If the
threshermen carefully adjust the con-
caves to avoid cracking the grain, this
too will improve the. grade. The
grade of barley depends largely upon
its soundness, brightness and cleanli-
ness.

France was compelled to cede this

On the 9th of September, 1873, the

that the world had seen up to that

The Journal asks the country press
to consider the wisdom of advising
farmers to stack grain. Every bushel
OF grain grown in the northwest will
be needed at good prices. The north
west will get several million dollars
more money from the crop if it is
marketed slowly. There is no doubt
a way will be found to forward grain
to Europe--wheat will be needed

In World.
The worlds greatest display OF ma
chinery and giant tractors Is held ev-
cry year at the South Dakota State
Fair, according to statements made By
exhibitors themselves. There are sew.
eral reasons for this, the first being
that South Dakota farmers are among
the most progressive In the use OF.
power machinery to tighten and short

South Dakota land adapts itself we'll
to the use of power. Still a further
cause for such a magnificent display Is
the fact that no other State Fair sets
aside 10 large a tract Of land for the
demonstration OF traction engines.
The exhibit last year was worth
