FLAX FLBER AND SEED.
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS TO THE FAR
MERS OF THE NORTHWEST.
A» Experienced
try Mrs. George's
Man
In
Handling ]flax
Tells AVhat He Know* About the Indus
try, in a Way Tbat All Can Understand.
Read tlie Article and Preserve It.
Many if not all of our western farm
ers can grow flax for fiber as well as for
seed by adopting the methods generally
other flax growing countries.
The following valuable hints about
the culture cf flax for fiber and seed, is
copied from the Great Northern Rail
way Bulletin, a monthly publication full
of good things concerning the North
west, as condensed from a letter on
the subject written by W. D. Hall, sec
retary of the Minneapolis board of
trade:
"Sow one and one-half bushels of Bel
gian seed per acre and when the straw
begins to turn yellow and the foliage
within six inches of the ground is droop
ing, pull or cut close to the ground at
once. At this stage the seed in the bolls
is changing to a dark green or brownish
tinge. Tie the straw in small bundles and
stand on end to winnow. When quite
hard and dry put in stack. There is a
larger and better yield of fiber when the
straw is kept until the year following its
growth. If fibre is required at once the
seed can be rippled and the straw
steeped in soft water, that is, rain water,
or, if this is not attainable, in pits of
water in. which vegetable matter grows,
and which has been exposed to the
sun's rays for a period of five or six
weeks. The straw should be protected
from the earth at the sides of the ret
ting pits place the straw in layers until
the pit is quite full stones, or planks of
wood with stones on top to keep the
straw entirely under the water, are laid
upon the top layer of flax or straw. If
the temperature of the water is 80 deg.
Fahrenheit or upwards, about six days
will be sufficient to ret the straw.
From the fifth day examine a few
straws, at different parts of the pit sev
eral times daily, and when the fiber
pulls readily and entirely off the woody
core it is time to remove from the pits.
Stand the sheaves on end to dry pull
the band or tying on each sheaf close to
the top and spread out the root ends so
as to expose to the sun and wind. Whe.i
perfectly dry stack for a few weeks.
This improves and mellows or brings
'nature,' or a soft silky feeling to the
fiber. It is now ready for the ma
chine.
"Practice and time are necessary to
become proficient in this branch of hus
bandry. Until you have learned by ex
perience to handle the flax straw so as to
realize the best results, I would advise
you not to invest money or credit in any
machinery, but do what you can by
hand and with your own labor during
the winter months. I will soon have
samples of machines that every farmer
can make for himself at a cost not to
exceed $2 and with which he may him
self, during the winter months, work
out the fiber of from one to six acres of
flax straw, that will bring from $100 to
§500. Experience will soon enable you
to produce as good fiber as is produced
in Ireland or any other country and I
can promise you a cash market in Min
neapolis for all the fiber you can pro
duce."
The following statement will show
you what one man has done and does
every year: Mr. E. Bosse,of Green Bay,
Wis., in a recent communication to the
National Department of Agriculture,
relates the following interesting expe
rience: "The six acres of flax grown on
my farm last year, and referred to in The
Gazette, of Green Bay, Feb. 3, was
sown May 1, 1889, with one and
one-half bushels per acre of Belgian
seed (which I consider the very best for
this country.) I pulled it by hand a lit
tle before ripe let it dry standing on
the ground for eight days then bound
it with rye straw, and sheltered. I
thrashed it by hand and spread it on
land already harvested, and let it ret by
dews and rains then stacked it in the
barn again, but bound this time with
its own straw. I scutched it by the old
system (breaker and knives, still the
best in use when the work is done by
skilled scutchers.) The soil is a black
loam mixed with olack sand about ten
inches deep, with red clay for subsoil.
The result was as follows:
Sowed 9 bushels Belgian seed, at $1.50
per bushel $ lSf 50
Pulling by liautl 33 59
Binding and sheltering 00
Thrashing by hand 20 C5
Retting on the ground 19 40

Total expense $251 97
Product:
60 bushels seed, valued at SI. $ GO 00
690 pounds tov,'. 3 cents per
pound 13 00
3,718 pounds irtier, at 11 cents per
pound, as oif.'ered by manufac
turers, Ross, Turner & Co.,
Boston 408 88 480 98
Net profit $229 W
I think, we can estimate this as an av
erage crop, with careful preparation of
the ground and well conducted opera
tions in retting and scutcl ling.
The reason for sowing hick is to have
the straw longer and finur, as it is only
valuable for fiber from tlie root to where
it branches out. The ordinary flax grown
here will produce a good quality of fiber
if pulled or cut close to1 the ground at
the right time, and properly treated.
Try one or more acres next year and
see what you can do."
A North Dakota Farimcx's First "Stake."
I asked one North Dakota farmer
what he brought iroto the state with
him, and he replied:.
"A doubtful stale of mind and an
extra shirt."
He then told me he now owned 160
acres of land, well provided with build
ings and implements, bet rides 84 head of
cattle, 12 horses and some other stock.
This much was the iwscumulation of
only five years,—J. & j/finney in Fargo
