ing of flax. I remember when the Dutch 

 lintfeed was from eighteen to twenty-four 

 guilders per hogftiead, and was reckoned ve- 

 ry high when it came to four and twenty 

 guilders per hogftiead ; and now they have 

 got it up to forty two guilders, and we 

 cannot fay how far they may raife it in this 

 progreffive way. 



Riga lintfeed is better for propagating the 

 lint feed than the Dutch ; for it anfwers bet- 

 ter the fecond year than the firft. The Dutch 

 always make it a rule to fow the Riga them- 

 felves, and fend the produce of their own 

 feed to Britain and Ireland.
