FLAX CULTURE.-The attention of
the farmers of this county was turned,
last year, towards raising flax, to a
greater extent than ever before. More
flax was also raised in the county last
year, than ever before in any one
year, and probably in a number of
years. Generally, we believe, farm
ers were well satisfied with the profits
accruing therefrom. Though there
was large amount of flax raised last
year, we think it was not made the
staple that it ought to be. AS we
have an oil mill where the seed can
find ready home market, and mill
for working up the straw, it is clear
from these facts thakfax raising must
be great deal more profitable than
when we possessed none Of these IA
cilities for disposing of both the seed
and the straw-then it was consider
cd profitable crop to raise, and near.
ly nothing was realized from the
straw. We condensc the following
in regard to raising flax from an ag-
ricultural paper:
The soil best adapted to flax should
be sandy loam-neither so wet as
to be swampy nor dry sandy soil.
1t should be as clear from weeds as
possible. Land that was sod the year
before, and upon which corn was
raised, is the best preparation for flax
AS to the time of sowing, the farmer
will understand that, though it is said
it is best to get it in the ground az
early as lossible, FOR it will stand
freezing, and the earlier the crop is
got off the better, rs the hot dry wea.
ther of summer is apt to injure late
sowed flax. To prepare the ground
after plowing, harrow once each way
and after sowing harrow once OF
twice, as may be necessary, to have
the seed covered. In selecting the
seed for sowing, care should be taken
to have il as clean as possible, so as
to obviate the necessity of hand
wedding the crop. About three pecks
per acre will be sufficient amount oi
seed. Thin seeding gives the most
and best seed and n coarse fibre, while
thin seeding gives less seed but the
finest fibre.
a correspondent Of an agricultural
paper gives the following table as the
outlay and income from an acre OF
fax in 1865:
