Tho material necessary for constructing this machine cau be obtained by to bacco growers from almost any chem ical supply house. The foot bellows (A) is connected by means of a rubber tube (B) to the valve tube (C). The glass tube (D) is fitted with a rubber cork (K>, in which the valve tube is Inserted. The top of the cork is cov ered with a piece of finely woven gauze In order to prevent the seeds from entering the valve tube. About an ounce of seed for separation is plac ed in the glass tube, anil a current of air is injected by means of tho foot bellows. The strength of this current must »>e regulated by the valve (C) so that only the dirt, chaff and light seed will be blown out of the top of the tube. It is advisable to screen out all of the large particles of hulls and trash before putting the seed In the tube. It Is claimed to be easily within the reach of every tobacco grower to select his seed plants in tho manner outlined and to 1 hereby improve his crop with out any extra expense and very little labor. Get Tomatoes Into Market Eurly. Last season M. L. Brown of Hamp den county, Mass., marketed S3OO worth of tomatoes from a patch of less than three-fourths of an acre of land. HEADY TO GO TO MARKET. The majority of them were taken to a nearby city in the manner pictured, says New England Ilomestead. Tor the first fifty four baskets sold he received SOO. Mr. Brown says the thing to do Is to get the tomatoes Into market as early In the season as pos sible. The vines received no special attention other than cultivation. The Dwarf Champion vaViety gives him best results. Manure Spreader. In a recent prize contest American Agriculturist asked farmers to state what Implements they most needed on their farms. It now reports that nl most three out of every four of th 700 farmers who sent replies to the question said they wanted a manure spreader. Either they had none, or, having an old one and recognizing its value in labor saving anil profit mak ing. they wanted a new one. Another point about tins particular implement is that the demand for it, as shown in this Inquiry, Is relatively as great ii\ the central west ns In the middle or New England states. The call for gaso line engines, telephones, etc., Is almost equally great A Point In (lie Cotton Problem. If the Cotton Growers' association ran succeed by holding back the-staple 111 increasing the market price to 15 cents a pound and holding it there for two or three months It will be useless to advise decreased acreage In cotton. Next season's crop will be a record breaker sure enough If such big prices prevail during the planting season.— Ban Antonio Express. Torn In Kanxnu.

Cllpp of Virginia recommends for young turkey chicks sweet milk and raw eggs about twice a week, In place of hard boiled eggs and sour milk curd. Millet and whole wheat ho regards as the most satisfactory grains for turkey chicks. The Flrat Man. About the middle of the seventeenth (.•entury Isaac de la Peyrere, In an odd little volume entitled "The Pre-Adam ites," attempted to prove that there were two creations of men -the first oa tho sixth day of the week of creation, when "God created man male and IV male." The rabbis interpret the übove passage of holy i\rlt as meaning that the first race of human beings were creatures In which both sexes were united in the same individual. Accord ing to De la Peyrere, Adam was the re sult of tiie second creation, the "male and female" being having been the pro genitor of the gentiles, Adam the fa ther of the Jews. A great many peo ple fell in with the views of I>e hi Pey rere, and he was the lion of the hour. His followers were called "Pre-Adam ites," and they increased in numbers rapidly until finally the movement be came so strong that the founder of tho sect was compelled to go to Home and abjure his doctrine at the feet of Pope Alexander VII.

Phytt cal strength 1< wels. It depend* on the strength of the stomach to w hat extent food oaten Is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation who have abundant food to eat. when the stomach and Its associate organs of digestion and nutrition do not tierform their duty. Thus the stomach is really the vital or gan of the body. If the stomach Is' weak* the body will N* weak also, because 11 is upon the stomach the body relies for its strength. And as the body, considered as a whole, is made up of its several mem bers and organs, so the weakness of the body as a consequence of "weak" stom ach will bo distributed among the or ns which compose the body. If the y is weak because it is ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in all tue organs—heart, liver, kidneys, etc. The liver will be torpid and inactive, giving rise to biliousness, loss of appetite, weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache, backache and kindred disturbances and weaknesses, Mr. Louis Pare, of Quebec, writes: "For years after my health beif&n to fall, my head urew dUiy. eyes rained me. and my stomach was sore all the time, while everything I would eat would seem to tie heavy like lead on my stomach. The doctors claimed that It was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia, and prescribed for me. and although 1 took their powders regularly yet I felt no better.
