CHASE COUNTY.

CEDAR VALLEY, Juue 20, 1876.
DEAR NEWS We are now in the
midst of one of the most abundant
fall wheat harVests 1 ever saw; COM
menced Wednesday 10th; all hands
have been busy ever since. The stand
ing grain made fine appearance, but
upon cutting is really heavier than
was thought to be. One of the most
pleasing and beautiful contrasts in ma
ture is to be on one of these gently
rolling prairies and look up and down
these valleys. The beautiful green of
the prairies, bordered with the waving,
golden grain, is q view that may be
seen here every time farmers take the
care to put wheat in right. Wheat will
yield from 20 to 80 bushels per acre.
Corn looks well and is clean. Oats
short and not much in. Spring wheat
will be short and but little in.
Much breaking has already been
done and twice as much wheat will be
sown this fall as last. Nearly all who
left last tall have returned, and all
would if they could. Let me give you
q case. Mr.. Jasper Glover, from West
Virginia, came out in 1871. For year
or two all went well took an so, as q
homestead, built a house, dug a well,
and broke eighteen acres. After the
hOI pers came, sold ali for SO, went
back, bought West Virginfa Hits at
$3.50 per acre; has again sold and
will soon be in Kansas. What he had
broken here was put in fall wheat and
from appeaEaaee now will make %
bushels per acre. That kind of farm
ing don't pay worth cent.
Work has commenced on the new
Touring mill west of this point.
DrinkWater s. Shriver are still at
work on their new mill. 1t is of stone
and has the appearance of being q sub
stantial Job.

looking for good corn crop and to en-
nance the prospect the ground should

The Land Owner publishes a list
of twenty-nine of the principal
cities of this country, giving the
rate of taxation in each. from which
it appears that Indianapolis is the
lowest, u mills, and Brooklyn the
highest, 80 mills. Most of the list
run from II to 20 mills. Much OF
this discrepancy can probably be
accounted for by the different val.

MANUFACTURES OF FLAX.

A recent writer for The EMPoRIA
NEWS has given what appears to be
very sensible directions for raising flax
for the seed alone. We wish the same
writer, or some other one of expert
ence, would give us equally plain di-
rections for Iraising it for the straw
alone, and what is the best mode of
procedure for the production of both
straw and seed; also, what is an aver
age crop on good land, of both straw
and seed. With reliable data of this
kind before us, it would be easy to de-
termine which form is most profitable
to the producer.
In order to contribute our mite to-
wards the object, we have collected the
following facts from reliable sources,
in regard to the manufacture of flax:
When flax is cultivated principally
for the seed, and the straw is cut and
threshed in the usual way, it is only fit
for making tow, which is used for bag
ging cloth. 24,OOO,OOO yards of bag
ging cloth are needed each year, only
half OF which is manufactured in the
United States, and that half largely
from imported stock. 1t will thus be
seen that there is little danger of over
production at present.
The latest improved machinery
for making tow, at the rate OF
1900 pounds per day, will cost, includ-
ing everything necessary, even steam
power, about $1,000. This machinery
will work up one thousand tons OF
straw annually. The "shives" which
are separated from the fibre, furnish
abundant fuel If steam power is used
Tow is worth $50 per ton in st. Lou
is, 1t costs $40 per ton to manufact-
ure it. Suppose We add $40 per tor
for profit, freight, commission, insur.
ance, &c, and still the producer ma.
lett $50 per ton.
, We have not at hand the exact prod
uct of tow from a ton of straw, bu
think six tons of the latter will pro
duce one ton of the former. At thi
rate the farmer would get FIVE dollari
ton for his straw, which is nov
thrown away.
With slight additional machinery
"scutched" flax can be produced from
, pulled and selected straw, which 1

; good article of straight straw vii
yield 800 pounds of seutched flax t
the ton.
A machine has recently been invent
ed for threshing flax, which claims 3
clean the seed perfectly, and deliye
e the straw as straight as when it wen
into the machine. We are not advises
as yet of the cost of the machine. w

!, gaging in the business. 1t would be

worse still, thrown away.

The Grand Union Depot ~ Sc. Louis. Mo-.
Is now completed, and al passenger trains
over the various lines 70 the North, East
and South are running through the 1In-
mel and over the Great Steel and Iron
Bridge across the Mississippi river.
This new arrangement cannot but be
appreciated by the travelling pRblic, IS
the long and tedious omnibus transfer
across the Mississippi river is discOntin-
ued.
Passengers going North, East or South
should bear this in mind, aad purchase
their tickets via The st. Loass, Kansas
Csty aud Northern RGilsoay, the shortest
lire between the Missouri River and all
points East and South.
