Time to Sow Flax Seed.

have noticed in the Furmer an article
on the subject Of flax. think the 10Th Of
May about the best time to SOW faxseed,
although ire:zing the ground little will not
kill the seed after it is sown. Loamy land
is good for fax, and sravelly in wet season.,
bears good fax. 1t is the most profitable
crod that farmer can raise, for it is very
high at present. The lint is worth l8 cents
per pound, and the seed $3.50 per bushel.
We get from three to five hundred pounds
of lint per acre, and from seven to twelve
bushels Of seed. Flax should be sown on
clean land, where it will be free from weeds.
1t should be pulled and the seed whipped
off by hand, on machine made on purpose.
Such machine consists Of two rollers, both
turning inward the heads of the fax pass
between them; the heads Of the flax are
crushed. and the seed drops out. When
Il x is pulled it should be kept in small bun
dies, that you clasp with both hands, then,
after whipping nff The seed, spread and roll
it, and then break. swing'e and tie it up
ready for market.-Mw E,g'and Farmer.

We are in an age Of improvement and also
that thessane sorgho is now refined and on

purses, but it is bound to succeed and drive
all other syrups out Of the market. Thou

benefit, instead Of sending it to other coun-
tries, to benefit the few. In fact, the ma.
chimes are now So simplified through Yankee

foreign powers for sugar or syrup, and keep
our money at home, and be more indepen~
dent people than ever before.
