This process is so simple, and the advantages over the old method so manifest, both in respect to time, quantity, and quality of produce, that it is somewhat remarkable that, notwithstanding the knowledge which existed of the value of temperature in respect to fermentation, even in reference to flax itself, it has only quite recently been practically employed.

The land is very heavily manured, and great care is taken to preserve the young shoots unbroken. The second crop, the seed having undergone the same preparation, is planted as soon as the first is removed....
