was also robbed on the same night
Saturday night three men attempted to
knock down a soldier, who proved too
much for them, coming off, however,
with severe injuries inflicted with a

being murdered. And yet the daily

Flax Raising and Braking.

The Waukegan Gazette says that a
Mr.. McCanna, of that County has pur-
chased one Of Sanford & Mallory's Pa
tent Flax Breaking Machines, intend
ing to enter largely into the business of
fax dressing, intending to pay from ten
To sixteen dollars for the raw product,
or manufacturing it for compensation.
The editor goes on to say: ave are
Glad that some one of our citizens has
sufficient enterprise to take hold of this
matter for we are fully satisfied that a
large business must be done in the line
of fax raising in this country before
long. The high price and great search
ty of cotton has made market for fax,
and those, who take hold of the matter
noac are bound to make we'll out Of the
same.
As to the profit of raising fax, COM
pared with wheat, we think the advant-
age is strongly in favor Of the flax.
The seed is now very high, being worth
from s1.5O to $500 per bushel, the yield
being from ten to fifteen bushels to the
acre, while of the straw, it is safe to es-
innate a yield Of a ton to the acre.
We have an idea that fax raising in
Iowa County would be good invest
ment for our farmers. The fax brake
spoken of costs some four or five hun
dred dollars, and can be had in some Of
the Eastern cities. Now is the time to
make arrangements SO that suitable
amount Of ground be sown to make the
thing profitable We hope to see an
enterprise of this kind started some
where in this vicinity. 1t certainly
would pay if properly conducted.
