14 Tu TII t.• tlr~I(. Sta—As there is 1.0 object of cultivation that will furnish so much employment to the p or as flux, particularly by the new mode of preparing it, with out dewretting and watersteepiug, will you allow the following instructions tin. griming it, an early place in your Paper, with a vicx of inducing pa fishes to cultivate the sama file employing their poor. The subsequent observations will perhaps be eousidered apilicable, at a time when it is proposed to grew flax and hemp at Dammam-1 sin, Sir, your obedient humble servant, .J. B. It was tiirmerly supposed that flax, as a crop, was injurious or hurtful to the land. By the present mode of management itsis not so, Itemise the plant is gathered bet; re the peed is allowed to ripen. and that three fourths of the crop is returned to the land. the chaff Irmo the seed threshed being excellent thud for horses sod cattle, and the woody matter pro duced by the present mode of breaking, when sided fir for the lame pur;sose ; or as a top dressing tor •simdit, or turnips, all of which was lost under the old system of dewretting, and of course no return to the land. The average produce per acre is two , tons of flax, and nine or ten bushels of wheat. The land iatended tor thei should be very.eleau ; •if stiff or heavy (which is in general good for the purpose) it should be ploughed betnre the winter, or early in the spring, that it may receive the nigins frosts.and rain ; just before sowing it should be work td by a manlier or cultivator, übuut an inch and a -half or two inches deep. Light free land may be _ploughed just bethre sowing, but in all cases tue tilth should be line, to the depth of an inch and a half or two inches. The time olsowing must dep,nd on the state and quality of the lands; on warm dry soils. it should be sown early ; on cold and damp soils later, front the latter end of Mardi to the end of April is the best time ; the early sown flax is alm - ays best. •The quantity of :.e.ed necessary is from. two. to three bushels to an aeri.., according Lathe goolness of the land; the better the 1a..il the more seed it will carry. ,tier sowing, it should be hammed with I a light or bush harrow, anal then rolled. If the Lind is very tight, it may be judicious to • roll it again when the plant is about two or three inches Mob but this must be done in the middle of the I day, when the land is very dry. When the flax is from 3. to 4,3 inches high, it should he weeded; it should be pulled when the plant begins - to turn yellow near the root and a little way upwards, and when on opening the most forward of the pods the seed is found to be fiirmell, but in a soft state, with a small speck of green in the middle. The flax should then be spread on the ground in :bundles, about as much as a woman can grasp in *both bands, there to remain till the upper part is dry, which, in very fine weather, will be in from ,24 to 48 hours, but should not remain to be disco :loured by the st.r., 'the bundles should then be • made up, the dry part inside, and set up in shocks of ten bundles each, till the pods and every part is dry. Great care should be tither, to keep the root ends quite even ; it will then be in a state to be worked, hous4, or stacked ; the stacks shook' be well thatched, and the root-ends placed outside.— Large quantities of flax, in very dry we;it!ier. have been pulled in the morning anti middle part of the day, tied up in bundles, and sea up in shucks in the eveuing of the same day, with very great success. The crop is often harvested by the end of June ; if so, the land is then sown with turnips. The fitnuer will have completdy gained the flax crop. If later, the land may be sewn with rye for spring feed, or dressed and sown with wheat. 13. TO PREVENT UNSKILFUL. PERSONS FROM ACTING AS CONVEYANCERS.

The men who executed the warrants in the cases are, doubtless, answerable for any error they may have been led into by an over zealous dischalce of their duty ; but we can not think the :Magistrates entirely blameless in the bu siness, for we understand so much was kit to the dis cretion of the petty °facers, that nut of the whole GcVell warrants with which they were charged, not one gave the hill description of the individuals against whom they were intended to be isseet I, and some of them were even signed with a blank fur we Christian names of the par ties accused.
