severaIO OF these FIax-Cleaning Ma
chimes have recently been put in operation in Flax
Mills in this region, and one Of them may be seen

his share, net annual profits Of from two to three
hundred per cent. on his permanent inve tment OF

should make immediate arrangeu ents for putting
in. early this Spring the necessary crop, BY aiding
the farmers in the vicinity Of the proposed FLAX
Mill to get seed, and by contracting with them for
the required two thousand acres Of Flax, sOwn at
the rate Of one and one-half bushels to an acre.
