All four laps come out as one sheet of uniform thickness. A seventh machine known as a “card” completes the cleaning of the cotton and separates the fibers so that they can be drawn parallel with each other. Probably the most wonderful anid beautiful sight is the cotton as it leaves the big drums. Perhaps forty inches wide a fiber sheet slips loose from the wire studded roll as thin as tissue paper, and is gathered in- to a set of reducing rolls which con- vert it into a snow white rope about an inch in diameter, known as a sliver. This is coiled in a can about three feet high and a foot in diam- eter. Six slivers are combined into one in the first drawing frame, which consists of a series of rolls, the last pair of which revolve six times as fast as the first pair, thus making the sliver that comes out of t frame six times as long, but of same diameter as the ones that went in. Six of these latter slivers, in their turn are fed into a second drawing 1 tne tl ne frame and transformed into one, so that the final sliver is made up of 216 original slivers. The sliver is now a mass of parallel fibers. The succeeding three operations are in- tended to give it a certain amount of twist, so that the will cling together while the size is reduced. The “slubber” takes these and simultaneously twists and stretches them into one strand, much longer, but with a diameter reduced to that of a clothes line, called Three of these machines finally get the thread to the required size for use in cloth. The called “woof” that is to across the goods is wound on a bobbin and is ready for the loom, but the thread that is to become “warp” which runs lengthwise of long journey. It is taken to the “spooler” and wound on spools that hold about a mile of thread. Three or four hun- dred of these are set in a frame known as the “warper creel” and tightly wound, side by side on a big reel known as a ‘“warper beam.” To make an average piece of goods forty inches wide requires about two or three thousand warp threads. So five of the warper beams each containing 400 threads are put into a machine called the “slusher.” There yarn is unwound and passed through a box of hot fibers “roving”. thread go the goods still has a | cylinders filled with live steam, thus starched and dried—a ing to make the tangle and less liable to injury by the friction of the shuttle—it is wound around the ‘loom beam”. This loom beam is then taken to the loom where the cloth is made. This process is much simpler than is- ordinarily supposed. Each alter- nate thread goes through an ‘“‘eye” of one set of harness and the others process serv- through the corresponding ‘eyes’ of another set of harness. In the weaving process for plain cloth the one harness goes up as the other goes down, so that the shuttle with the woof, or single thread, passes under every other thread and over alter- nate ones. Next trip through it passes over the ones it went under before and under those it passed over. It is then steamed and ironed. Then it is folded and baled, in which form it is ready for the market. The fancy weaves are made looms with more harnesses and com- plicated threading, but the principle is the same. The Textile Department now has on on hand five bales of cloth worth about $1,800.00 (Editor's Note—This is the second of a series of articles to appear within the next few days introducing various Departments about which the hundreds of farmers bankers coming to College next week want to know much).

Miss Marion audience highly. Barton pleased her Each one of her numbers was received with over-en- thusiasm and boquets thrown upon the stage by the cadets. Miss Mabel McCall’s piano recitals were most heartily enjoyed. She showed remarkable talent. The arrival of the girls in College Station was made quite an event by the cadet corps. One of the most re- ceptive reception committees that could have been formed and consist- ing of almost the entire cadet corps served to provide unusual entertain- ment for the young ladies and make this visit an exceptional one for them. The party was met at the train and escorted to the Y. M. C. A. for their first stop. Then they were taken to the review stand on the drill ground and the entire corps passed in review for their inspection and pleasure. starch and then around ‘two copper They -were given supper in the Mess yarn less apt to] oe 4, # ENROLLMENT AT A.
