FLAX to tha t,axcue.

A Washington special says: Tie state
ment of the agricultural department,
short time since, that a method had been
discovered by which fax straw could be
cheaply converted into materials from
which hempen rope, Irvine and bags are
now made. has caused a great deal of in
terest in many sections of the United.
States where flax Is grown. Letters have
been received ut the agricultural depart
ment from Minnesota, Dakota, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois and Iowa asking
for further information concerning the
new method of utilizing flax straw. A
Wisconsin firm asks If there is any MT
chine for manufacturing the straw. Sec
rotary Rusk has turned over all letters and
communications about the matter to AS
sistant Secretary Willis and instructed
him to make a full investigation of the
matter. Mr.. Willis has re elved informa-
ton that a machine to work flax straw is
used in Belgium, and has instructed
Agent Bickfor | at Paris to investigate.
It is claimed that the new methods will
reyolutionize the fax industry. The let
tiers from northwestern states say that if
y machine can be secured which will con-
vert the fax straw into such form that it
may be used for Irvine, rope and bags. that
the trust when now forces the price of
these articles to such high prices can no
longer exist. TIE northwestern wheat
growers who use great quantities of Irvine
for binding. as we'll as flax growers, will
be interested in any machine which will
convert fax straw into Irvine.

Says the Bismarck Tribune: The sheep
business Of the Missouri slope is growing
with great rapidity and is ono of the
strongest arguments in favor of diversified
farming. There is no country between the
oceans where sheep can be raised to better
advantage and those who are engaged in
the business are rejoiced over their pros
perity. The Scott and Campbell ranch has
been frequently mentioned in the Tribune
and these gentlemen never tire of speaking
we'll of the country. a very important nd
Missouri country has recently becn made
by Lantcrman Bros. Of M.ndan, who have
purchasedthree thousand head to lie located
In Emmons county. If the farmers of this
section will turn their attention to sheep
and cattle they will soon be prosperous
and independent. Wheat raising is n sue
cess in Dakota, but diversified farming is
safer and more profitable.
