  F1aX.-.LA VELLA, Minn., M1arch 18.-I
should like some infoimti oiin retaid to flax,
whether there are any rnachines in the west for
dressing and manufacluring, and what the
common price is per ton  Alao if there is any
Chicory seed so far west yet. Perhaps I can
get all this from the former numbers of the
FARMER.                             E. GOULD.
  NOTE.-We are told that there flax-dressing
mills at Fond du Lao and at Platteville, but
what they pay per ton for the straw we are un-
able to say.-ED.

  Ahead in raising Buckwheat.-PixE
RIVER, Waushara Co.-On page 66 of the Feb.
No. of the FARMER J. A. Mapes says he raised
711 bushels of buckwheat from 22 quarts of
seed, and asks "who can beat this 9"
  I raised 35 bushels from 8 quarts of seed
sown. It was sown on the IIIndian land."
