33. Single-ply cotton twine. After the cotton has been picked it is put in the sun to dry, but not for more than a day or two. It is then stored in a quake or openwork basket, where it may remain for any length of time, provided it is not allowed to get wet. When about to be used thé foreign matter is carefully picked out and the whole teased, bit by bit. This teasing process is important. A very small handful is pinched up, teased out with the fingers, "smacked," so to speak, between thé palms of thé hands, and thus alternately teased and sharply squeezed into a thin circular pat about 4 to 4~ inches in circumference. During the "smacking" process there is a slight simultaneous rotation at the wrists. A large number of such pats are placed one on top of the other, forming a pile or cylinder about 6 or 7 inches high. This cylinder is then pressed laterally, folded in its length, and gradually stretched. It is again folded in its length and similarly stretched, so as to form a soft pad about 2 feet long. This pad of teased cotton is next twisted into a spiral, loosely at its distal extremity, but progressively tighter toward its proximal, which is again stretched previous to the whole being lightly wound around the left forefinger and wrist (fig. 6), its distal and much larger end hanging loosely over the forearm. That portion of its proximal extremity between the two thumbs is now gradually and very carefully teased out and stretched, any untoward slipping being prevented by resting the third Ënger of the left hand on the bent forefinger of the right, which acts as a fulcrum. On completion of thé stretching, the amount and exact degree of which will depend upon the thickness of thread desired, etc., the portion of cotton just stretched is attached at its proximal extremity to the spindle (fig. 7) through the nick or hook at the
