Another fea urs OF your machine is, that II can oe
worked without tie slightest rick to the operator.
These are not selected testimonials, but samples
Of all, and are given merely to prove that we are
not recomn ending machine that won't bear the
test of practical operation.
We know whereof we speak, and know tina,
many thousands of farmers, who hold to the old
opinions about fax.growing, will now commence
the work as soon as they are encouraged by
The introduction of one Of these machines into
the neighborhood. We know of one case where
the result has been al increase from four TO
sixty-four acres in one place around the new
machine. Indeed, farmers will not wait for the
establishment Of power machines, but will bay
the small tize (prce $l55) and PIT them &, work in
their own barns. The machinery Is so simple that
any one can manage it. Itswork is go effective that
every one must admire it who heartily desires to
the cultivation Of this old staple fiber increased
The farmer need not so through with all the pro-
cesses Of dressing the fax, any more than he needs
TO grind bis wheat. That he only frees from its
bulky straw and chaff The Tx he can readily free
of rs PER cent Of it's weight, and then he has sal
able product, which will bear transportation in
bales, just ike the lint Of hemp, and much OF 1t

where IL is 10 be manufactured into " fine liDen,
and other valuable fabrics, not forgetting that u
good, strong, durable, handsome, tco0leD cloth Is
now made one-half FAX.
Every one knows that fax lint Is superior to Get.
ton, for almost every purpose, and every one knows
that cotton obtained tie ascendency over is rival,
because It was grown by slave labor, fos,ered by Il
strong Government at the expense Of all the soil
wherever grown, for j. has perfectly verified the
fable Of the golden egg. The goose has been killed.
Millions OF acres Of cotton land are now barren.
Conine slave-labor coton-growing within any
given area, and It cannot compete with flax;
for while the fax growing farmer improved
every year Of fifty, in that time the cotton plant
alton would be, what many Of them have been
made by ten years USE miserable ruin aud worth
le..
Had every farmer g machine which could be
driven by horsepower, and be attended by boys or
long before linen fabric could be purchased for
price ess even than that Of cotton. Flax is extern
syely grown for the seed alone, III. straw being
thrown away. Farmers living at distance from
mill cannot afford 10 cur, the straw H. hence, the
amount Of flax dressed Is limited, and the pncs high.
4 machine Tat viii counierao, this Is a boon 10
the world. IL should rank with the co.ton.gin. The
,ullc rrcss should no. look upon II 10 the light oi

il; flr then be will know that cotton s no longer

better fiber, at lower price, aud at the same time
be fully remunerated f)r lholr time thus employed.
Let every Northern farmer. in all the intervening
month. between this and seeding time next Spring,
earnestly Discus. thi. ques,ion: Shall We grow flax
