Air ut Work.

y paragraph i'll the foreign news by the
Arabia says that the London Pneumatic Dis
patch Company has commenced forwarding
mail-bags through its underground tubes
This enterprise is novel. The pneumatic tubes
which have been laid by the company extend
from the Euston railway station to the North
western District post Office in Eversholt street,
London, a distance of only about one-third OF
a mile, but sufficient for experimental purpos-
IS. The tube resembles an e~liptical gas-main,
thirty-three inches high by thirty inches wide,
and is laid in nine feet lengths, at an average
depth OF nine feet below the street level. The
IjointS are filled with leak so as to be perfectly
alright. Within this tube runs a wrought
iron car, eight feet long, Weighing eight cwt.,
and ttted with four wheels, each twenty inch
es IN diameter. At each end of the tube is a
hollow iron wheel, working in an alright box
OF twenty-one feet in diameter, which is con-
nected with a steam engine of seventeen horse
power. The wheel turns at a velocity of sew
enty TO ninety miles an hour. when the air
which is drawn in through its hollow centre
is thrown off from its periphery with a force
that gives a pressure Of from five to seven
ounces on the square inch. The iron cars on
the tube present a surface of nearly FIVE square
feet TO the blast, and are propelled at a rate
of thirty miles IN hour
The entire cost of a line of five miles is esti-
mated at el31, 600, and it is proposed to car
ry freight as well as mails through London, at
the cheap rate Of a penny two cents per
ILiie, 30 far, the experiment Is successful, and
Tue results are very interesting and curious.

The cultivation of EInX

The most essential condition for the profit
able growth of flax, is good drainage, either
natural or artificial. It is Il waste of labor
and money to SOW flax seed on land where
water ~stagnates round the roots. The next
is, to pillow the land deeply, and to puIverize
it thoroughly. The roots Of the flax will, I'M
less prevented by a hard subsoil, penetrate
full half the length Of the straw into the
ground, and the length and size of the straw,
other things being equal, will depend upon
the length of the root.
The great majority of farmers will most
easily understand the kind of soil best adap-
ted TO lax raising, when they are told that the
soils best adapted for Barley are the best also
for flax and where maximum crops of the
former are found to grow, maximum crops Of
the latter may be certainly calculated on.
The seed should be Of the growth of the
preceding year plump, heavy glossy of uni
form size and color; Of a clear brown hue
If there are many seeds Of a light drab, choc-
olate color the lot should be rejected.
Weeds, which are well known to be iniuri-
Gus to all growing crops, are peculiarly so to
flax. No pains therefore should be spared to
purify the flax seed from all foreign adlnix-
lures, and with a view of burying the seeds
which nave lodged on the surface Of the soil
beyond the reach of termination, the blowing
should be done with a Michigan double pillow,
which more completely inverts the surface
than any other. 1t is also desirable that the
sowing should be suspended long enough af-
ter blowing to give the seeds of any weeds
which may be in the soil time to terminate !:
they are then to be killed by the cuItivator,
when the seed should he evenly and har-
rowed, once in the line Of the burrows, and
once angling with them, so as TO diffuse the
seed more equally. The field is then to be
rolled smooth.
Iel, for if thrown between the ridges the straw
manures unequally. 1t should be smooth, 50
that the crop can be gathered with a reaping
nacLine.
Soon after the bolls are formed, the lower
leaves begin to fall off, and the straw becomes
yellow from the bottom, about half its length
upwards, when it should be pulled, or cut
with a reaping machine, very close to the
ground. If it is suffered to stand much long
er than this, the straw is materially injured.
The seed is then to be separated from the
straw by means of a ripping machine. 1t is
very desirable that the seed should be com
pletely separated from the straw, because if
any of them are left OH, they are crushed in
the breaking machine and where the oil
comes in contact with the fibre it is almost
impossible to separate it from the shore. 1t il
very desirable that the connection between
the farmer and the flax should terminate at
this point, as the remaining processes can be
much more beneicialIy conducted by others.

INCREASE OF RATs.-The Farmers Gazette

one pair Of rats will have a progeny and de-
~scendants amounting to no less than 651, $50
in three years. Now, unless this immense
family can be kept down, they would then
consume more food than would sustain So, 900
human beings. 1t will be far wiser in the far
mer to turn his attention to the destruction of
rats, than of small birds.
Certainly it will. Whoever engages in
shooting small birds is a cruel man whoev-
er aids in discriminating rats is a benefactor.
