1t will be seen that il is very impor.
tant that the straw and chaff should
be returned to the soil. Another thing
Mr.. Stevens says about fax 10 this:
"From maturity until housed Is the
critical time with the flax seed crop.
Should storms intervene, it's suscepti-
bility to dissolve causes a decrease in
weight and depreciation in value"
The above is our experience. Every
time it gets wet by rain Tor even dew
tits hurt. Our way is to let it stand
until the leaves have nearly all drop
ped before we cut, and then just As
as soon as it will 60 into the stack get
all the help We can and stack as soon
as possible. (The idea Of letting 1t
stand until the leaves dropped on I'VE
got from VIM. Swartman, of Elm
township.) If cut before ripe the seed
will be light in weight.
There il another part Of Col. Stevens
report that we want to set before the
readers of the REGISTER and that is
the amount of fax seed raised in the
United States, and the quantity i'm
ported. Read the following table:

a FEW THINGS FOB FLAX RAIsERs TO
THINK ABOUT.

Not long ago L received from Col. 8.
81. Stevens. Chief Flax Seed Inspec.
Tor of the board of trade of Chicago,
his report to that body for the year
1859.
Thinking the farmers of Allen
county might be interested in some
things he says about fax I have con-
densed his report as much as possible
and will give bis conclusions fairly.
He was for years a resident of Hum
boldt and all who knew him knew
that whatever he says is to be relied
on. He Gays: 1.-THE plart grows in
the lowest and the highest attitudes
In India it grows about Is inches
high, has 10 seed to the boil and aver
ages about 20 bushels to the acre, the
yield of oil is 2s1 gallons to the bushel.
The western seed yields about 2 gal
Ions to the bushel.
There are two varieties of seed, the
Russian, brought to this country in
1874 by the Mennonites. and a smaller
ted which is of the India variety.
He says of the Russian seed:
The yield per acre and the produc-
tion of oil il such that it always de-
mands premium. The large size of
the seed, the tough, mucilaginous GOV.
eriug (which prevents its being easily
hroken), safe from loss, usually sus-
tanned in threshing, and in analysis
when passing through the hands of the
inspector"
The above t.l'ics exactly with our
experience. We have always grown
the Russian as it yields better, is less
likely to break in threshiDg, and will
not slip through the seiye like the
smaller seed.
In speaking of the exhaustive prop
critics Of fax on the soil Mr.. Stevens
amoDg other authorities on that SUBJ
iect quotes the following from "Spon's
Encyclopedia of Industrial Arts and
MANUFACTURES" "Analysis of the
fax plant dried at 212o shows 80 Der
cent of ash, this ash contains $3.50 per
cent potash, 10 So per cent lime; 10 "a
of phoephoric acid. 1t lie estimated
that the flax grow n on an acre of land
extracts from the soil about fifty
pounds of alkalies Chiefly potssh) and
"a pounds of phoephuric acid AL.
most the whole of this might be re-
turned Immediately to the ,soil if the
refuse of the plant were utilized"
The above is practically the testi-
moDy of all authorities which he quotes
All say if the straw and chaff Were
put back Immediately with The small
quantity of mineral matter the seed
contains or If the seed was fed on the
farm and put back on the land 1t could
