RAISE FLAx.-Every farmer should
turn his attention this spring, to the
growing of a few acres Of flax. The
exor5itant prices Of cotton goods, and
the impossibility off very speedy de-
cline in prices, renders it important
that we turn our attention to home man
ufacture; besides it will be found a pro-
fitable investment of time for the ag-
riculturist. The prices of cotton goods
have by no means reached their high
est ebb and even if the war were i'm
mediately closed, it must be several
years ere the South will again produce
a full crop of cotton. These are facts
that should be borne in mind by the
producing classes, and acted upon be-
fore they are overtakcn by ruinous
prices.
