The CULTURE OF FLAX.-lt will be remem bered
that about ten years ago, a man by the name OF
Claussen, in Europe, supposed that he had dscov-
cred mode of preparing flax, that it could be
spun like cotton, by machinery. High expecta.
tiOns entertained of it, a white and beauti-
full article was produced, which promised to be a
valuable material.
1t was found on trial that the process was too
expensive, and the fibre would not permit it to be
used to make it substitute for cotton.
Recently Improvements are said to have been
made in the preparation of the flax which obviate
the difficulties which have been encountered in
this matter. We do not know whether there is
any good foundation for this new claim, but the
process has already reached such a stage, that it
will be in all probability perfected at no distant
day.
At the annual meeting of the Legislative Agri-
cultural Society of Massachusetts,, held in Boston
on Monday evening, Stephen A. Allen, Esq, gen.
teman who has devoted much attention to the cul-
ture of flax and its fabrication by the of ma
chIneTy, read paper that throws considerable
light on the subject.
Mr. Allen states that since CIaussen first discov-
cry, ten years ago. he has experimental extensive
ly upon Flax Cotton, which be calls FibriIia and
the results have been at least hopeful. He gives
detailed history of these experiments, made in
junction with Mr.. Stephen Randall of Centreville,
r. L., and Mr. George NJ. Brown, of New York,
with the use of machinery built by A. Sisson &
Co., of Coventry, r. /.
He states also that the fax fibre instead OF being
a foot long, is about an inch or two. The
rotting process is wrong and Injuries the FIBRE The
principal conclusions that had thus far been ar
rived at were, in brief-that it is unnecessary to
rot the straw, or to pull the fax, thus removing
very serious obstacles to the profitable production
of the article by our farmers; that the old manner
of breaking the fax by laborious process in the
latter stages of preparation, may be superseded by
the use of a small machine in the earlier stage, to
the advantage of the material, and the great saw
ing of labor; and that the former mode of ex-
tracing the gluten is susceptible of great i'm
prOvement
These conclusions have been practically and sue
lieve that an article may be produced upon our own
SOIL that shall answer every purpose for which cot
ton is used, and which will prove superior to it
the score of economy. small factory has been
of fbrilia composed in part of fax, and Mr.. Allen
exhibited samples of white cloth, jean, and pair
of hose, in the manufacture of which from twenty
to fifty per cent. of it was used.
