CLINTON INDUSTRIES,.
-OUR FLAX MILL.
On Wednesday last, we paid a short
yisit to the Clinton flax mill, owned by
by Mr, -D, A. Forrester, Mayor of our
town.
• ' `The building is about 70 feet long
by 45 wide.. The •machinery isrun,. by
an ,engine •manufactured by ..Messrs.., ..._
Thomson & Williams, of Stratford, and
the fire is kept going by refuse of flax. •'
On entering the hills our attention way
first , drawn' to the scutchers. These
consist of. largo iron wheels, out of
which run iron spikes or knives in the
shape of -spokes, for the purpose 9f .
beating out or scuteliiug the flax. • Be-
fore going through .thisoperation, the •
flax has to be ,drawn in and threshed;
then drawn out'and 'spread' and .turned.
after which, it' ;is .done, ' up in small
bundles and placed inthe barn. This
Building is situated near the mill and
is 14.0. feet long and 40 feet wide.:'Af-
ter being scutched,.tlie part taken. off
is called: tow, and the part left'is called ,
line flax. This: is used for *the purpose
of making' linen Loc. The. tow is run
•
through n. tow -picker, then through ai1-
other picker up: stairs, and is then put
into a packer and- made into bales. •-
Tow is used :for making sewing thread, . '•
twine, &c.; and • the coarser qualities
for tnalci•ng coarse cloth, ,paper '• &c.
The pickings from the tow go into the
refuse box, and Serie as fuel.
At thetime of our visit, : sixteen
• hands were at work, 'but we':understand '
that in the summer .season;, sometimes,
as many, as 60 hanlds'areeu)pleyed in .. .
cutting,. pulling; •:and drawing flax, a
good many of them,. of course, ;being
boys. 'Softie idea may be formed of the
en .leo meat lush when we state
that
t
i Y g
5,000. per year is paid out . in wages.
Mr, Forrester informs us. that he
brought in about 600 tons of flax last'
year, but expects to exccedthat quan -"
tity this seasons. We have no doubt-
the.flax baldness is asuccessfulone,and-
'adds greatly to the business of our
town, and we think we. areright in •
saying that Mr. Forrester, isthe right
man in the right place,', and we- hope .
that.he may be amply repaid for, the
enterprise and stimulus wench he has
thrown into the business since taking
it into his hands.•
