COTTON BAGGING.
The Lane Cotton Mills of New
leans have commenced the manufae
of strong, open, cord-woven eot
bagging forty inches wide, which
claimed is as suitable as jute bag
for baleing cotton.
The new bagging was tested in
New Orleans on last Saturday, and
the Times-Democrat of that city claims
that the test demonstrated that the
new bagging was in every way supe¬
rior to the regulation jute.
Three bales were packed and then
tested, uncompressed, with the follow¬
ing result:
“The men hauled the cotton with
their hooks, and the covering did not
tear. Each of the three bales were
weighed, flat and sideways, and the
bales were lifted and* low¬
ered with a terrible jerk, which had
no effect on the covering, not a tear
or rip being visible.”
The three bales were next«taken to
,a compress with the following result:
“The three bales were jerked from
the dray by two powerful colored
men, veteran knights of the cotton
hook. The bales were of the ordina¬
ry size, one of them weighing 553
pounds and measuring 5 feet 8 inches
in length by 2 feet 2 inches and 3
feet 5 inches in height. These were
the figures at this stage of the pro¬
ceedings when they were ready for
the compress.
The cotton rollers here took a few
pulls at the bales, jerking and tossing
them around, but withal, they stood
these tests, the cotton rollers said,
better than jute bagging does.”
In concluding its account of the
test the Times-Democrat says:
The new bagging, judging from the
expressions of those who witnessed its
tests yesterday, will meet with sue
cess. A number of points were made
in its favor, among them that it would
keep the cotton cleaner than the jute
bagging, and it will be much safer
in case of fire.
When the two bales which had been
used in the experiment reached the
Cotton Exchange they were surround¬
ed by as many persons as could crowd
about f them. Factors as well as oth¬
ers examined them, and the universal
opinion expressed was that an article
had been discovered which would
burst the Bagging Trust. One factor
said that the cotton cloth would break
up the trust, and that in the near fu¬
ture jute bagging will be a thing of
the past—“dead—killed by the trust.”
We hope “one factor” was a true
prophet when he said that the new
bagging would break up the trust.
The following opinion of a practi¬
cal mill man gives ground for the
hope that the new bagging is a suc¬
cess:
“Mr. Ambrose Maginnis and Su¬
perintendent Elder, of the Maginnis
mills, were present, Mr. Maginnis
being asked his opinion, said:
“The test is a severe one and the
result better than I expected. I think
this is the thing for the cotton plant¬
er of the South. All they have to
do is to help us use it, and will help
them to get rid of their cotton. This
is bound to come into general use,
and machinery will be constructed
and adapted to make it cheaper than
can be done by the machinery now in
use, which has been built for the
manufacture of fine goods. It will
be cheaper than jute bagging, and be
resold at its original cost. y yy
The Granger movement and the
Patrons of Husbandry have much, es¬
pecially in the West, in protecting the
country against railroad encroueh
ments and unreasonable exactions.
The fight waged by the Farmers Pro¬
tective Association against the barb¬
wire monopolists, ending by the
worsting of the Washburn & Moen
Manufacturing Co., saved the farm¬
ers millions of dollars. It broke the
back of an unjust combination. Co¬
operating agriculturists have made
some mistakes in opening stores sim¬
ply because they did not understand
the business. The history of the past
ten years shows most commendable
progress in co-operative efforts in
many directions, and farmers may be
certain that it is for their best inter¬
ests to connect themselves with some
local Grange, insttiute or farmers’
club, and work together for a com¬
mon cause.—American Cultivator.

I can learn our district will bear off
the blue ribbon at our county fair.
