Cultivation of Flax.

Flax, formerly raised at a profit in the
Northern and Eastern States, has latteTly
been almost abandoned though 1t Is still
grown in considerable quantities in the West.
The plant has the advantages over cotton
that it will grow in any climate and almost
any soil. But the difficulties Of its prePara-
tion have been very great. BY improved
machinery, these are now in fair way Of be.
ing overcome, and # so, linen may become
as cheap as cotton goods. A city paper en-
umerates these improvements as consisting
in machinery for breaking the fix without
rotting or wetting; for washing out the gut.
inous matter and separating and purifying
the fibres; for classifying the long and short
fibres, by which an expert hoy can do the
work of fifty hackers, aud in a far better
manner, and in the general simplification Of
the preparing machinery, such as the draw
ing and rowing frames, so that linen factory
will require no more capital than one for
cotton. Experience with this improved
machinery has shown that flax straw at $5
per ton can be converted into fine linen Fl.
bre which will cost only 2 l,2 cents per pound,
and that TO GO ON and fit it for spinning it
as cheaPly as cotton, the whole cost will be
only cents. At these fgu es linens will
be as cheap as cottOns Machines are now
in use at EastOn, Dayton, Xenia, Piqua, and
other places in Ohio, for breaking unrOttted
fax, costing about S400 each, which bre. k
out two tons Of unrotted fax per day; enough
TO make, when refined and purified, some 400
pounds Of linen goods"
About the cost here named, there may be
a slight mistake. Mr.. s. M. Allen, the in
ventOr Of some Of the new processes, speaks
Of the prepared fax as costing Is cents per
pound, while cotton costs l3; but he says
the difference in waste in favor Of the flax is
fully two cents per pound. Flax seed is val.
liable for the oil and for feeding, and il the
fibre becomes thus available, we may look for
a rapid and large extension Of the flax crop.
A writer in the Prairie Farmer, favoring
the early planting Of sweet potatoes, says
freezing can be prevented, in the spring, by
simply drawing over the young plant, on
the appruach Of q cold snap" a hoe-full Of
mellow earth, and scratching cfi when dan
ger is over. 1t may safely remain a few
cold days, If there be no rain. To pro.
tect from early frosts in autumn Is more d..
ficult, but perhaps shovelful Of earth, pro
TEN, on the crown Of the plant, is the best
method.
Mr.. Roessle, Of the Delayen House in Al.
bany, who is a famous horticulturist, has
produced celery which, instead Of beilg
grown in the ordinary way in summer, and
blanched for winter use, was grown since last
Novembef, and that not in hot house, but
out in frOst-coverd open field. Mr.. Roessle
has just published a small treatise on the
cultivation Of celery.
