FLIX STR4W. — Howto Cut It, How to Cure Kt. To fanners of Adams and adjoining counties, who desire to harvest their Flax crop to the best advantage, T will offer the following advice: Cut your Flax earlier than you have been accustomed to. Have no fear about your seed not being ripe. It will mature to better advantage after it is cut than if it was growing. Use a mowing machine; cut loose to the ground; let it lay for two or three weeks. It will not mould or sprout while laying in this condition more than if it was standing in the ground. When your seed has matured and you wish to take up your flax to house, stack or take off the seed, use a horse rake, in the early part of the day while the dew is on. Rake up about as much as you can take care of the balance of the day. If you want to take the seed off clean a piece of ground about twenty feet square, near your flax field. Commence trumping or rolling about 10 a. in., and you will get off your seed about as fast as one team can haul it from the field. Stack your straw neatly. While your horses are tramping, if you are going to have a rain storm, cover your seediheavy with tramped straw. Do no? use a threshing machine to take off the seed. I buy unwillingly lots of flax seed at $4 and $5 per ton. Dark colored or swath-rotted, and green straw that is spread out to rot, will be the most desirable and bring the highest price. The curing or rotting can be done on the farm. It will not cost in labor over fifty cents per ton and will be worth $2 per ton more than unrotted when brought to the factory. Price, from $3 to $6 per ton. I will not purchase wet straw nor weeds. All information in regard to curing and rotting flax straw will be given at the factory. Farmers having last year’s crop will find market for it at the factory. THOS. F. MYLOTT, Prop’r.
