WAY FOUND TO MAKE LINENS IN AMERICA. Introduction of an Industry That Opens a New Market For Farmers and Will Add Millions to Textile Production. Another revolution, textile experts say, is due to occur in the fabric making industry of the United States. Heretofore, owing to the high cost of labor in America, it has been impossible to manufacture our linens at home. American farmers raise millions of tons of flax, but only for the seed. The straw from which linen is made Is burned. Now a Massachusetts inventor has perfected a method of transforming flax straw into linen filter that is com ‘ mercially practicable under the labor conditions prevailing in the United i States. From sixteen to thirty weeks | are required by old world methods to i accomplish what the process now controlled by the Oxford linen mills performs in twelve hours. The initial process of linen making abroad is to weight down the flax straw in water until the woody “shive is rotted away from the fiber. The “scutching” and combing of the straw that follow are done by hand. All of this work can now be done in twelve hours by machines which loosen the fiber from the straw and prepare it for the chemical baths that remove the gums and oils aud bleach the fiber ready for spinning. At a recent demonstration for the benefit of representatives of the press and others especially interested these chemical processes were actually accomplished In a space of thirty-five minutes. The best of the European methods secures about 170 pounds of liber from a thousand pounds of straw and sacrifices the seed crop. By the Mudge process 250 pounds of fiber are obtained from the same amount of straw after the seed has been saved. The new process also preserves the shive for paper making aud the tow, which has many profitable uses, including the manufacture of surgical bandages, machinery waste, etc. Now Burn Millions of Tones of Flax. A late bulletin of the department of agriculture says that “millions of tons of straw are burned every year, most of which in quality and length for the production of filter far excels the average straw from which the Russian peasant makes the fiber which chiefly supplies the linen fabrics of the world. Not ouly Is a new market now opened up for the farmer, but for the first time linens can l-e turned out on a commercially profitable basis, and in Massachusetts and Vermont mills are already being equipped to produce linens made in America.” Eventually the $22.0(10.000 a year that we now send abroad for linen will be kept at home, and linens need not any longer be a luxury. The Oxford processes provide a means for utilizing a raw material which costs less than one-third as much as cotton, but which in the finished product sells for many times ns much. Even without the present tariff on linens they could not be manufactured by old world methods iu successful competition with the new proc ess. and the establishment of the industry’ here begins with a prospect of adding enormously to the total of cotton fabric production, now valued at half a billiou dollars a year. |MBERIAI)K COUGH BEHW CtTBH3 Coughs,Colds, GROUP, Whooping Cough This remedy can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take.
