where It belongs.

sation among the planters. We have
demonstrated beyond question that the
size of the leaf can be controlled by
proper selection of seed plants. The
size of leaf has an important bearing,
you know, on the value of the crop in
all varieties of tobacco, but more par
ticularly in the cigar wrapper types.
Other things being equal, the greater
number of wrappers that can be cut
from each leaf without waste the
greater the value of the crop to the
manufacture and the higher the price
obtainer by the grower. Pointed leaves
are undesirable on account of the small
number of wrappers that can be cut
from them, seldom moree than two
obtained from this kind of leaf.
The wide leaves with rounded tips and
bases yield from four to six wrappers.
If we can grow Cuba and Sunatra
tobacco in Massachusetts, and Connect
icut, as we certainly can, for we have
proved that both the climate and soil
will yield crosses between the import
ed and native that will possess practi-
cally all the desirable qualities of
the imported, the money gained by the
American planters will be we'll worth
the effort. Wrapper tobacco now
grown in the New-England States
brings from 40 to so cents pound;
imported Cuban and Sumatra wrappers
fetch from $l.4S to $1.S0. A like gain
will be made by the American tobacco
grower when he can produce filler
stock that will compare favorably with
the imported. Pennsylvania and Ohio
filters now bring from 10 to rs cents
a pound; Cuban filters, SO cents to
SIPS. We can certainly produce
filler that will compare more than
favorably with the ordinary to medium
Cuban, for we have done it at our eX-
pertinent stations, and what can be
done by experiment can be duplicated
on the plantation if proper attention
is paid to the plant and its environ
ment during growth"
Besides inventing the tobacco smok-
er from the proper observation of cigar
tests, Mr.. Shamel is the inventor of
the best machine yet devised for the
separation of heavy from light Seeds
The weight of the tobacco seed has
direct bearing upon the size and vigor
of the plant. Heavy seeds produce
big, strong plants; light seeds bring
fourth pung, small leaved affairs that
do not pay for cultivation. AS the
tobacco seed is so minute that three
or four thousand may be placed in
an ordinary thimble, the task of sep
arating the light from the heavy grains
is no easy one. or many years the
planters separated the seeds by throw
ing them into water, the theory being
that the light would float and the
heavy sink. But this process resulted
in great waste of good seed, for a
large proportion of the heavy ones
remained upon the surface, floating
upon minute air bubbles which were
difficult to detect and hard to remove.
The wetting process was bad, too I'M
less the grower planted the seed i'm
mediately after taking them from the
water.

years later to $4,000. In 1893 the in
stitution was incorporated under it's
present name and one hundred acres
and three small buildings were pur-
chased by Northern friends. Today it
consists of more than $500 acres of
land, a thousand head of live stock
and other property aggregating a mil
lion dollars.
The industrial course of the insti-
tute embraces every mechanical in
dustry and affords in many instances
much better advantages for young men
TO become proficient workmen than
any other school in the country. For
women as we'll as men has the insti-
tute provided. They are instructed
in all those occupations for which they
are fitted To these purposes a beau
tiful structure, Dorothy Hall, was
erected entirely by the male students.
In this building the girls are taught
sewing, dressmaking, millinery, cook
ing, laundering, domestic training,
mattress making and basketry. In a
separate building they are trained to
be nurses.
Agriculture is not neglected On
the contrary, it is perhaps the most
successful department of the institu-
ton. There is an agricultural expert
mental station established by the
State of Alabama in connection with
the school, and a corps of most eff
ficient instructors.
Apart from the technical, mechani-
cal, and agricultural department, there
is an academic department, in which
the students develop their finer tai
ents. There are night courses as we'll
as day courses, and also vacation
schools.

Tuskegee, Ala, April 4.-This was

being the formal opening of a three
days celebration OF the twenty-fifth

the institution. The buildings and

A SMOKING MACHINE.
Government Burning Cigars to Test
Qualities.

Washington, April 4.-To smoke four
cigars at the same time, and do them
all equal justice, is an achievement
that few devotees of the weed can ac-
complish, yet it is being done daily at
the agricultural department. The
smoker is not at all bashful, and read
lily puffs away for the edification and
wonderment of any visitor that hap
pens to drop in to see the operation.
Neither is the smoker boastful or at
all vain Of the remarkable exploits
that the scientists say have been ac-
complished by this arduous consump-
ton Of Havanas and domestics. AL
though the official figures say that
more than 5000 cigars have been con-
sumed by this record-breaker of all
cigar users, it is safe to say that the
smoker has never told a single soul
of what has been DONE Were all the
employees of the department like the
smoker in chief, Secretary Wilson
would have been spared some trouble
about crop report leaks. Perhaps one
of the principal reasons for the
smokers taciturnity is the fact that it
is only an invention and is not hui
man being. 1t was made to smoke and
