ANEW AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY.
The Growing of Flax Supersede That OF
Wheat-Linen Manufactnre.

The Growing of Flax TO Supersede That of
Wheat-Linen Manufacture.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Last week Prof.
Williams, the assistant secretary of agriculture,
had under consideration a letter from Ireland
which, he thinks, may offer a solution OF the
economic problem: ''What shall take the place
of wheat on farms where 1t cannot longer be
raised at a pro6t?n The writer. who has been
familiar with dax-growing and linen manufac-
turing since lS40, says IN his interesting com
municatiOn:
There are only two establishments weaving
one at Webster, Mass. and the other at Apple
ton, Wis. the latter doing but little and neither
weaving anything finer than crash. There Is
nothing in the climate soil conflicting with
the assertion that just as good flax and linen
may be prOducedln every state In the American
Union as in any country. Germany now spins
and weaves the finest linen, and she has no es-
sentially, different climate from America.
Many things become successful IN America
from the facility with which the people take
up improved processes and appliances, and this
may be the salvation of the linen industry, OF
the importance of which there is no question.
There is every reason why American farmers
should produce 100000 acres of fax for both
seed and fiber over and above what is now pro-
duced, which would give twelve million TO
fifteen million bushels Of seed, worth as many
millions of dollars and 100000 tons of flax
500,oo0 tons of fax fiber would be obtained
worth $100OO00O0. Once established, American
invention would, as in all otherindustries soon
build up an industry TO consume this material.
/ wish the state department would start expert
mental farms to grow a small amount in each
state and such private farmers as are disposed
to do the same. The fax should be sown upon
any good, mellow soil which has
been we'll MANFRED the past year,
or active chemical fertilizers may
be employed to a reasonable extent The
seed should be sown at the rate of two and a
half bushels on an'acre Of land, brushed in, and
no other attention is needed, excepting that
any large weeds may be removed until the fax
has turned" for half It's length, when it should
be pulled cured and cared for TO keep it bright
in the same manner as is done with hay. The
seed may be taken on by ripping or 10y
'doller thrashing' and there would be market
for all flax straw thus grown at $50 per ton.
The crop should give two and half tons Of
straw to an acre and twelve to fifteen bushels
of seed The cost of pulling Is, in Canada s.
an acre"
Prof. Willetts has informed the sender that
the subject of his letter would be earnestly con-
sidered by the department, which would lend
its aid to any effort to increase or diversity
the agricultural industry OF the country.

Discrimination Against Brazil.

BRAZIL, May 1S.-LSpecial. 1.-The discrimin-
alton in transportation rates made by the c. 4
L. c. railroad against Brazil coal and Brazil in
terests is provoking good deal of comment on
the part of the miners and the public. The
tariff sheet, or schedule shows the rate from
Brazil to Chicago to be 81 per ton, the distance,
179 miles: from Coxville to Chicago, 65 cents,
distance 164 miles; from Danville, ILL.,, on the
c. q f. l., 90 cents, distance 123 miles. On the
basis of distance this is an average discrimina-
ton of IS cents on the ton against Brazil, and
in favor of competitive points. But half the
amount OF this exaction levied upon Brazil
block coal would adjust all difference between
the operators and miners on the price for min

who picked her up in a senseless condition and
conveyed her TO house near by, while Keller
made his escape. He has not been seen since.
Heretofore he has borne an excellent reputa-
ton. Mrs. Keller continues in a critical con-
dition.

Doing the Enemy's work.
ILsporte Argusl


There are two or three alleged democratic
papers in this state that lose no opportunity to
stab the democratic party because it has taken
a position in favor Of a reduction Of federal
taxation and in opposition to protection. The
inspiration of these papers is drawn from sam
Randall, the New York san, and an obscure
paper published at Albany by political sore
head. The people understand that Randall is
kept in congress by republicans and that he
does their bidding at the peril of the loss of his
seat Dana, of the Sun, IS an old protection
whig and a natural lshmaelite who opposed
Cleveland's election and now stsbs
the party because he cannot use II for his
private gain. All such men secretly glOat over
the defeat of the party last fall, and for west
ern democrats to scatter the seed that the
Danas and Randalls send out is anything but
complimentary to either their knowledge, dis
erection or honesty.

Setting Fire to Their own Home

VINcENNEs, May 13.-TSpecial.l-Last Fri
day morning the house of r. w. Potts of Mon
roe City was discovered to be on fire. Upon
inquiry it was ascertained that the feather and
straw beds and other light, combustible matter
had been piled up in the middle of the room,
saturated with coal oil and set on fire. His
wife had done all this and then fastened the
doors and went up into the garrett. When
she thought the fire was under good headway
she gave the alarm and was with difficulty
helped from her perilOus position. The house
beng full of smoke, she could not escape by
the stairs. The people were very indignant, as
the house was surrounded by some valuable
property. A complaint was filed in Justice
HoQue's court and warrant issued for Mrs.
Potts arrest for arson and r. w. Potts an
accessory. At the preliminary trial they were
found guilty and in default OF bail sent TO the
comfy iail-
