TIE CULTIVATION OF FLAX,
FOR TIE SEED ONLY.

In the State Of Ohio particularly in the
vicinity Of Dayton, thousands of acres are
cultivated in fax. 1t is cut with the COM
mon cradle, or rcapcd with the machine like
wheat. 1t is thea trol out, as we used to
tread ont wheat, for the seed only, which is
mostly used for oil: the mills for crushing
the seed and pressing the oil being as plenty
around about Dayton as screw-auger shops
used to he in the upper end of Cecil county.
Much of the coke from these oil factories is
taken to England for feed for their cattle.
The Int Of this flax until very lately, was
thrown in pile and burned, to get it out Of
the way. Gov. Wright says. in a pamphlet
Of nineteen p.sca-tliirtccn Of which are
devoted to the culture and use Of ilaX-that
some niles of roads have been turnpikcd
with the iax shivca, Tor Sho,rs, rs they call
them in the Wcst,) More recently $500
per ton has been paid for the lint Of ila% for
paper making. Here would be n fine field
Gov. Wright in his Is pages on the culture
and use of flax, urged the manufacture Of it
into linen, but | was sorry to see that he new
q once showed how so desirable an end
could be brOnght about, although so easily
done. The plan, and the only plan, is to
repudiatc Free Trade. A specific protecting
duty OH the linen from flax and $50 900 900
may be saved at home by its manufacture,
giving employment TO thousands of persons
who are now suosisting on cold charity and
hot soup in oul Eastern Cities. 1t is to be hop
cd that the new American party will regulate
this matter of flax ere lorg They know
something and doubtless will do it, and that
ie they will renew a Tariff which will give
employment to those Illadviscd foreign citi-
zens who have 50 long opposed their own
interests. JOHN JONES.

IIABT.-s'I trust everything, under God -
said Lord Brougham, "to habit, upon which i,
in all ages, the lawsiver as well as the school,
master has reliance; habit, which makes
everything easy, and casts all difficulties
upon a deviation from u wonted course.
Make sobriety habit, and intemperance
will be hateful; make prudence habit, and
reckless prohigacy will be rs contrary to the
child, grown or adult, as the most atrocous
crimes are to any Of your lordships. Give a
child the habit Of sacrcdly regarding truth;
ofcarcfully respecting tAoipropcrty of others;
of scrupuously abstaning from all acts Of
improvidence which involve him in distress,
and he will just as likely think of rushing
into an element in which lie cannot breathe,
as Of lying, or cheating, or stcaling.''

GFFARMERs' PRosPECTs FOR 1S05.-
What are the prospects of the farmers fer the
coming year, as to the probable crops and
prices2 In our opinion, GOOD, in both res
poets.
First as to CRops it has always been found
that a season of severe drought has q bene
fetal effect on the soil, so that bountiful crops
are pretty sure to be obtained the following
year. Gan explanation o:this we cannot at
tempt now, but will in our neNt.) Besides,
the drought Of the past year taught some val
liable lessons in regard to the Importance of
deeper and better tilage which most farmers
will put in practice the coming season. 1--WE
shall say more about this, also, be fore long.)
Then, the hard times have had the effect to
drive men back to their farms and to indus
try, who before imagined that they were rich
enoughto live more genteelly, or smart en-
ough to live more easily at other employ
mcnts.-This, together with the cheaper cost
Of labor, and the continued high price of farm
products, must tend to secure Il large increa-
Sc of crops the present year, supposing the
season proves ordinarily favorable; and in re-
