After full aud careful investigation of the
whole subject, the Royal Agricultural So
cicly give tho following conclusions in their
official report in regurd to the advantages OF
this method oIprcpUiug ilaN:
!" Mat by the new process il1X l. render
ed capable Of being spun, either in whole OF
IN nTrt, on amy existing spinning machinery.
That The fibre to be miXcd with cotton or
spun alone on cotton machinery, is so com
plcicly nssmilatud in its character to that of
cotton, that it is capable OF receiving the
same rich OPAQUE color that cluractcrisrs all
dyed cotton; aud, consequently, amy cloth
made from flax cotton yarn can he readily
printed, dyed, or blc0ched, by the ordinary
cotton processes.
That the flax fibre can be always produced
with profit to the British grower at n less
price than cotton can he imported into this
country with profit 10 the foreign producer
That, as a consequence Of this advantage,
the manufacturers OF this country will I've
less dependent on the fluctuations of the cot
ton crop Tor a supply Of the raw material,
and more regular employment will be CIV
en- to the manufacturing population, and the
present amount Of local rates be greatly dl-
miuishcd thereby.
That the British grower will Of necessity
derive great benefit from the supply of the
wide demand thus opcnpd to him.
That with respect 10 the advantages of
being able to spm flax in combination with
wool on the existing woolen machinery, the
first is, that the FAX prepared by NJ. Claus
sen is capable OF being 'scribhed,' 'spun,'
woven aud nilladi in all respects rs il it
were entirely wool; having an advantage in
this respect over cotton, which has not the
slightest milling properties; on tho coniru-
ry tho fax fibre is capable of being even
ninde into common felt hats with or without
an almixture of wool. 10 such an extent
has the milling property of fax been proved,
that the sample orcloth exhibited had been
woven TO 81 inches wide, and milcd up to
% inches wide.
That the fax fibre will not under any cir
cumsianccs. when prepared for spinning
with wool, cost more than from Ga. to 81.
per H., while the wool with which 1t may
be mixed, will cost from -. TO Is. per 10,

We hope this last suggestion Will be borne
in mind by our paper makers at Denwnre
and elsewhere, and be the means OF effect
ing some Improvement in the durability and
strength of our printing parerl
