Useful Instructions to Flag
Growers.
1. That the best land for flax is a loam
with Clay bottcim or subsoil, light sandy
land is not considered 80 suitable.
2. Fall ploughing is preferable to the
spring ; land should_ be clean—that is,
free , as ixissible from weeds, summer:
grass,, etc. ; when ploughed in fall it
should be cultivated in. spring, and
and.' _thoroughly harrowed and. rand
previous .to sowing. , Seed 'should be
ehenly sowed 'and harrowed in with a
light harrow. Sod land ploughed well in
fall, thorouglely harrowed and rolled be-
fore sowing, it . considered suitable, but
stubble land can generally be put in bet-
ter condition for flax ; but whatever the
land is you cannot get- the surface too
finely pulverized before sowing.
3. The seed. should be clean pure seed.
Sow as early as the first of May if
possible ; * early sowing gives the moat
Fatisfactory results. 65 to 70 pounds is
-what we sow per acee.
4. Weeding flax as practised in the old -
country will notpay in this. There is
nothingto be done to the drop after sow-
ing mitilt the crap ripens.
5. Flax is ripe %%lien the first capsules of
the plant turns yellowish brown and the
lower leaves fall, and should then be
pulled. In a :healthy good growth of
flax the stalk of -the plant ae it approaches
ripeness turns. a whitish yellow, and you
cannot fail to knew when .it is ready for
harvesting ; but in a poor growith the
stalk remains green long after the
capsules all turn brown. Flax should be
pulled. before it gets so ripe that the
capsules make a rustling sound as 'yen
walk among.it.
"6, It shonld. be bound in bundles. four
inches: in diameter nnder the baud, kept
even at the butt end, and set in round
shocks :of ten to tivelve bundles each,
and left on the ground until suffibiently-
dry, as long -continued wet weather ina,y
injure it. In- wet . weather, keep flax
well set up and see that the seed enda do
not get closely matted together and
mould..

Jared Jones and the Browns. •
To thes Editor of the Huron Ezpositor.
tn your- last is a lease by " Jared
Jones," on the nem° of " Brown, and the
&Own Family."' Now, tiir,!a spicy joke
or a cutting sarcasm got up :against an
opponent or a rivitrmay be so far appre-
ciated as to provoke a but "Jared"
has eo far failed to prOfInce either.
'" Jared." does nbt believe in 7 the _Dar-
wini au schools—not he,—yet a glimmer-
ing of his belief appears in his insinuation
that the Brown flien of Borneo and the
Brownies of Ssothand snay be of the
same family. :Now, if flue themas be
correct, it is just possible that. the pro-
genitors Of "Jared" were a:monkey end
an ape. And. this is the more confirmed
by lus production, partaking, as it doee,
of the mischievousneet of the one with
the stupidity of .the other, and. sh'owing
that ti e peesent progeny lacks some -
links of having become perfect mime
But joking apart, Mr.. Editor, the men-
tion of the Brownie by 'ijared" is rather
Unfortunete, for it is Well known that
to the ignoraet, the euperstitiout and
the n an having an uneissy cop scien ce, the
Brownielas always been an object of
