The place that should be assigned to
rape in the rotation will depend on many
conditions-the use for which it is grown,
the nature of the soil and the nature of
the rotation. Like other hoed crops, it
should be grown as a cleaning crop when
sOwn in drills; hence it is peculiarly fit
ting to grow it upon fields which require
to be cleaned. 1t will therefore more
commonly come after a grain crop and
ordinarily should be followed by another
grain crop sown with grasses and clovers.
1t may generally be grown with much
advantage after a crop of winter rye
which has been pastured or cut at the
earring stage for hay or in the llQssoming
stage for the silO.
In climates that are suitable aid in
seasons that are sufficiently moist it will
also make good growth after early ma
turing crops. AS rape feeds ravenously
on organic matter, it usually grows well
on freshly overturned sod possessed Of
sufficient moisture to terminate the seed,
1t may therefore be grown on land which
has been pastured in early spring and on
overturned clover fields after the first
cutting of the season has been removed.
AS a catch crop it may be sown at any
time when opportunity offers until with
in, say, eight weeks of the close of the
growing season. As green manure it
may also be sown at any time, but for
this purpose it is more common to sow it
in conjunction with the bare fallow or
after some crop Of the season has been
removed The Dwarf Essex, or English
variety, shown in the cut is, according to
the authority quoted, the only kind of
rape that has hitherto proved a success
as fodder plant i'll North America.

There was another, also of black silk
plush, embroidered in close and still more
intricate design, and the embroidery was
picked out with fine jet beads The edges
of the enormous revers and stiff umbrella
cape were bound with seal fur. Others
were piped on the edge with silk or satin
piping always black, making this line of
wraps and capes the finest | have seen in
many seasons
Plush coats made scalskin style will be
very much worn this season. The plush is
the finest silk plush, black as jet and not
shading into brown at all. The jackets all
have the backs very full, and the fronts are
closed with fine black silk frogs and loops
CT buckles or some rich passementerie
fastenings. The sleeves are all enormous
as to the top Some have close rolling col
lars; some are bordered with fur, mostly
astrakan or seal; some have enormous lap
els ending in the deep umbrella cape in
the back and all lined with rich satin and
finished in regular seaskin style.
These plush jackets lined with quilted
satin are intended for very cold weather,
and as we are just now sweltering in our
thinnest garments it may seem little too
previous to mention them. But as an adj
mirer of the beautiful and faithful chron-
icer of what is and is to be could not re-
strain my eager pen. Heretofore it has
been but the favored few who could get
such a garment But if tell my beloved
sisters three months ahead that these su-
perb capes, with their comfort and luxury,
will retail at from s35 to $50 they can begin
to "scrimp" and "scrougen n little on the

sons when the head of the household is in
extreme good humor and save up for the
purpose of buying one. That is what am
going to do for | know that | could not
live through the winter without one unless
had to.
The plush jackets will not cost as much
as the military capes, which are so lavishly
trimmed, but they will be from $50 to S45,
according to size and finish. The kersey
and cloth jackets for early fall will not be
nearly so expensive. Rich Lyons silk vel

Drs will also be made in military capes and
iichly embroidered in heavy black silk.

Harvesting Wheat.

The time to harvest wheat is when the
wheat grains have passed the milk state
and are hard and firm. The condition
of the straw is not always good index
of the condition of the grain. Farmers
who judge by the straw will sometimes
find that they make mistake. An ex-
animation of few heads of wheat will
soon convince one as to whether or not
the grains are firm enough for cutting,
says writer in a letter to American
Cultiyator, who adds that wheat ought
to be cut when quite ripe, and it should
be gathered within three or four DAYS
after cutting to prevent its getting very
dusty. This will make quite differ
ence at thrashing time. The dust tends
to injure both grain and straw.
Wet weather is apt to make the wheat
harvesting long, and sometimes it seems
impossible to get the wheat in within a
short time. To make this possible it is
better TO bind in small, loose bundles and
not in large, tight ones. The grain and
straw will dry quicker in this way, and
very often with two good days interven-
ing between the storms we can get the
wheat dried and out of the field.
Where the reaper and binder is used
it is always better to let the wheat get
very ripe before cutting, for the bundles
are tied quite tight by the machines. By
letting the grain get good and ripe it
can be carted from the field in a very
short time, as it will not need so much
drying in the sun. When the field is I'M
evenly ripened, it is also better to wait
until the field is good and ripe, but not
until the grain becomes hard and dead
ripe. The green portion as a rule will
ripen up well enough in the shock or
even in the barn and stack. The dew
has very little bad effect either upon the
straw or grain, and if the wheat was dry
the night before it can be carted in early
in the morning with impunity, accord
ing to the authority quoted.

THE RAPE PLANT.


As Grown In the United states-Adapta-
There is season after corn has been
harvested and before the advent of win
ter during which we must depend on
grass as the source of food for our hoclIs
and herds; otherwise we must draw upon
winter stores to feed them. The need of
some useful fodder plant of this season
has long been recognized, and now Thorn
as Shaw, professor of agriculture at the
Ontario college, gives the assurance that
the rape plant is adapted to large areas
in the United States. In report to the
department of agriculture he says:
The soils of the prairies will doubtless
be found suitable for this crop where the
summers are not too dry and warm. And
in large sections in all parts where the
climatic conditions resemble those of On
tario it will doubtless be found that rape
will grow readily. This would mean
that rape can be successfully grown in
all the states bordering on the Dominion
of Canada and in several of those that
lie farther to the south. Whether it
would furnish winter pasture in the more
southerly states and whether it would
/ grow seed as paying crop in these can
be determined only by actual test. The
heat of the sun in such ATTITUDES would
doubtless be fatal to its successful growth

John Gould, one of Ohio's progressive
farmers, tells, in a letter to Country
Gentleman, that for three years he has
been sowing more and more rye among
the corn at the last working. This year
all of the corn is sown to rye, and there
will be not only some fine fall feed, but
in the excessive Ohio fall and sprlng
rains there will be no washing of the
land or carrying away of fertility. Then
in the spring one has field of rye to
seed down to clover and save year in
the rotation, or, what is pretty well up
to clover, rye sod to turn under for a
succeeding CROP

crown of gray rice straw and the brim of
pearl gray felt. 1t was cut nearly square
instead of round and stiflly wired. In the
front was Il stiff bow of pink velvet and all
around the brim was sewn a ruf1le of white
Spanish lace made triHe shorter in front
than on the sides. 1t made a delcously
quaint hat for IL youthful face.
Another bizarre effect was obtained by
made colored coarse braid, arranged in such
a way as to turn up in front and backward
somewhat like a bow. This part was rolled
upward and backward and held by a blu
ish steel buckle and silver aigret, and
peeping from the rolled places and above
the roll were punches of blue larkspurs.
Altogether it is the most daringly novel
hat of the season, but it proves very becom-
ing.
A parrot green satin straw was braided
and blended with deep indigo straw, so
that it was really changeable from cen
to blue. 1t was bent into n shape that re

cept in front, where it is depressed to allow
the parrots wings to stand up Mercury

Green straw braid forms the basis for an
other handsome hat 1t is of no particular
style or shape, being bent up in front and
a little on each side, with a low, round
crown. On the top of the front is a cluster
of crush roses without foliage, imbedded in
bunch of grass. The crown is also encir-
cled with grass which is crumpled and part
ly twisted.
A cute little theater bonnet is of silver
braid and gray felt, the felt being cut in
strips and braided in with the silver SOU
t2che, and this is sewn together to form a
little brim and tiny bow in front. The
crown is basket woven with felt and braid.
For trimming there is a roleau of gray and
pink velvet around the crown, and in front
are several upturned gray quilts, with a
pink velvet bow and high loop in the center.

light kerseys, with the seams sewn and
bound on the inside and then laid Hat and
stitched on the outside each side of the
seam, which gives them an exceedingly neat
and finished appearance. These jackets
are half long and have outside pocket flies
and umbrella collars. The skirts are made
very full in the back, so that they fall in
natural folds from the waist. Some of
them are bordered with fur Some have
fur collars, beaver or astrak han, and Others
are faced with fur. Others have narrow
borderings of velvet or plush to match, and
all are marked with good style and neat
finish. There are few rough effects seen,
though there are few twills and tweeds
and diagonal cheviots, but the great ma
iority are smooth, such as kersey and broad
cloth.
The capes are most elegant, and some of
them are really superb. There are few to
match costumes and IA few of heavy woods
of no decided color lined with silk, but the
best of them are of rich black plush lined
with bronze satin. They are all cut in the
Military shape and vary only in length.
Some have full collars bordered with fine
astrakhan or sealskn, and others have very
large revers in front, which form into an
umbrella cape in the back. Few have high
collars; the most of them have half high
rolling collars or just the roll of the
collar attached to the revers; many have
plated cape collars, but the best and
richest have the wide revers ending i'll the
umbrella cape at the back. One such cape
of black silk plush had IA raised pattern in
black silk embroidery. The fronts and
points of the cape had an elaborate pattern
and this was carried out upon the revers OF
brown satin, which made it altogether one
OF the most superb wraps have seen.

American Cultivator says that where
sheep are kept to eat the clover growth
close to the ground there is constant
checking of the clover growth which pre-
disposes it to seeding. 1t produces a

grow until in blossom and then cutting
it close to the ground. But if the clover

The style of this is very good and can be
followed more or less closely formany even
ing bonnets.
These are not all the novelties in head
wear by any means, but they are the le2!-
ing ones The harlequin and Louis n
shapes are also very often seen.
There will be much velvet worn later in
the season and good deal of plush in the
darkest shades of all colors, particular
ly in black. Military tricornes and harle-
quins will be made in velvet and plush,
and there will be many beautiful flowers
made in velvet, such as pansies, dahlas,
rhrysanthemums, roses and great, sprawl
ing cOnvolvuli, initiating nature to re-
markable degree.
To take the place of the shirt waists that
have had such a rage during the summer
there will be corsages differing in most in
stances from the material of which the
skirt is made, but of handsome goods and
quite richly ornamented. One style has
the corsage itself of black grosgrain silk
and il closes on the left side with two black
velvet buttons. The sleeves, plated cape,
belt and revers are all made of heavy ribbed
silk in black and dark blue. This can be
worn with almost any skirt and can be
made in any goods or color preferred. The
distinguishing feature of it is the triple
cape, which shows that far from losing pop
ular favor that peculiar style of garniture
is liked
Black velvet enters largely into the make
of another waist intended to be worn with
different skirts. The under corsage is of
velvet, and so are the gigot sleeves, which
are plated on the top so as to give wide
rather than high effect. Outside of this
