The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women Ia still disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
That the wheel has created a revolution
in the lives and manners of modern women
cannot be doubted. Used in moderation it
surely creates for women q means of outdoor
exercise, the benefit of which all physicians
concede. Used to excess, like any other
pastilne, its effect is likely to be dangerous
to high degree.
No better illustration of this can be offered
than the case of Miss Bertha Reed, the
seventeen-yearold daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. r. Reed, 335 Lake Street, Delaware, Ohio.
In describing her daughters experience,
Mrs. Reed says: "In the fall of 1896 my
daughters health began to fail in an alarm
ing manner. 1t was evident that she was
over.exerting herself by riding her wheel.
We put it away for time to see if health
would return with rest and quiet; but, to our
Encouragement and disappointment, she be-
came worse and grew steadily paler and
thinner until we concluded she must have
consumption, and we sent her to physician
for consultation. He told her that her lungs
were in a sound condition.
However, he found that her pulse regis
tered one hundred and four beats per min
ute. and it actually remained at that mum.
Der for two weeks.
"The doctor said that her condition was
due to an almost boodless condition of the
body, 80 that the heart had to beat so much
more rapidly to supply the wants of the body.
My daughter had lost her appetite, and could
not take sufficient food to nourish the system.
"The doctor prescribed some medicine,
which was procured and q dose given. By
this time she had become so weak that we
almost gave her up.
Meanwhile, procured some of DR.. Will

Rape Culture in the United Stotes.

Rape Culture in the United Stotes
1t is no exaggeration to say that for
the past four years thousand inquir-
les respecting the nature, culture and
uses of rape have annually come to the
office of the American Sheep Breeder.
The impossibility of answering each
of these inquiries in detail through the
columns of the paper, leads me TO
make the following general statement
regarding this remarkable plant: Gen
ercially, rape belongs to the same or
der as cabbage, kale, turnips, etc., and
is grazing and soiling plant, not sus-
ceptible of conversion into hay. 1t

drills from twenty-six to thirty inches
apart, if desired for cultivation with

five pounds of seed may be used for
seeding broadcast, and from two to

Report on Vegetables.

The Committee on Vegetables sub
mitted the following report at the an
nual meeting of the State Horticulture
al Society:
The season of SO and SO has in many
respects been a most peculiar one.
During a residence of eighteen years
in the State engaged in horticulture
and vegetable growing, noting closely
weather conditions and changes, can
recall no season like it. We have had
seasons as cold, but they have been
dry, and the soil would soon warm up
after cold wave had passed over us,
and vegetables that had been protect
ed would soon grow off under the
warmth of our genial sunshine.
We have had seasons as wet, with
clouded skies; but they have not been
accompanied by such very low tenn
peratures; and, perhaps it has been
we'll for us that we should have had
so much rain, as otherwise the very
severe blizzard of February 18th and
14th sweeping the continent from
ocean to ocean might have sent the
mercury much lower, completely par
alyzing our already crippled industries.
Who of us can recall the conditions
of a freezing temperature following
within six hours of rainfall? And yet,
these were the conditions that con-
fronted us on the morning of February
18TH as far south as the Manatee river
section, accompanied by light falls Of
sleet and snow during the greater por-
ton Of the day.
Coming upon us so suddenly, plants
both in field and seed beds were thor
oughly chilled before they could be
protected, and heavy beating rains
following within a few days added
largely to the damage already done,
consequently seeds planted after the
cold and rain bid fair to do better than
these injured plants, and will come in
to bearing almost as early.
To realize that the season of '9S and
80 is season to itself, we need but

three pounds per acre if planted in
drills.
For quickness and immensely of
growth, it is without ar ival; growing
upon good rich soils to a height of
twelve or fifteen inches in six or eight
weeks, and in it's full growth three
of four feet high, producing twenty
to thirty tons of feed to the acre.
Sheep, cattle, or swine, may be turn
ed into the rape field when it has
reached height of ten, twelve or fif-
teen inches, the owner always using
caution to limit sheep or cattle to an
hour or less, of grazing for the first
four or five days, to prevent the posi-
bility Of bloating until they are &C.
customed to the feed.
For early summer grazing, rape
should be sown about oat-seeding
time, in April, or May, according to
latitude, and for late summer and fall
feeding, it may be sown in June, July

alone for a full early crop, or sown
with oats, in which case it makes slow
growth till the oats are harvested,
when it comes forward with great ra-
pidity. 1t is often sown on oat, wheat
or barley stubble, without blowing and
narrowed in with a light harrow; in
this way making an abundance of fall
feed. AS a supplement crop, however,
it is more extensively sown in corn, by
scattering the seed ahead of the Gull
tivator at time of last cultivation. The
corn shades and protects the young
plant during it's early growth and with
in six or eight weeks lambs may be
turned in for weaving. Rape in the
cornfield is paradise for lambs before
corn harvest, and makes a splendid
fall feed for sheep, cattle, or swine,
when the corn is harvested. In seed
ing the cornfield to rape it is a good
plan to use about two pounds of rape
seed mixed with half a pound of COM
mon fiat turnip seed for each acre.
The same mixture may be profitably

used in seeding with oats, or ON stub
BILE land.
The progress in the rape culture in
this country is one of the marvels
of latter days husbandry. Five wears
ago, the plant WAS little known and
less understood. Last year millions of
acres were devoted to it's culture and
other millions of acres will be added
to it's broad green domain the present
year. All progressive English and
Canadian shepherds cultivate it and
the perfection of their flocks attests it's
great value. The English and Canadian
shepherds cultivate it mainly for
sheep, but progressive American farm
ers are turning it to broader uses, hay
ing found it quite as profitable a graz
ing and soiling plant for their cattle
and swine.
To say that rape is revolutionizing
the sheep industry in this country is
putting the case none too strong. It
adds immensely to the popular ten
dency toward intensive sheep farming
by yielding a vastly greater amount of
succulent and healthful green food to
the acre than any other crop, thereby
increasing in like ratio to the sheep
carrying capacity Of the farm. It tides
the sheep farmer over the dry hot sea-
son when the grasses are dead and the
fields are brown, with a wealth of
green, pala table and nourishing food
such as no other product of the farm
can or does furnish. It is alike valua-

to look at the market reports, North
South, East and West.
Who of us can recall time, except
when the vegetable industry was in its
infancy, that Florida cabbage has been
eagerly taken at four and six cents per
pound, and everything else in proper
ton.
Now for the lessons of the year!
What we learn by experience is not
soon forgotten, and would the begin
ner but take heed to the advice of the
experienced, it would be we'll; but, hui
man nature like, we are never satisfi ed
quaintance of Mr.. Experience.
The past is said to be the criterion
of the future, but this will not hold
good when applied to the seasons, ex-
cept in a general way, for we know
not at seed time what conditions may
confront us before the harvest; conse-
quently, we must as far as possible, be
prepared for extremes of all kinds,
hoping and trusting for the best.
To insure any hopes of success, there
are certain things to be observed.
First, select a fertile soil, not too
high and dry, but with ample fall to
admit of good drainage. No matter
how dry the fall and winter may be,
ditch deeply and thoroughly, that all
surface water in case of heavy rains
may pass off quickly. Better have the
bitches and not need them, than to
need them and not have them, and
you will be sure to need them sooner
or later.
Prepare the soil thoroughly, as far
in advance of planting time as circum-
stances will permit. Fertilize judi
ciously, using all you think you ought
to, and then put on half as much more.
Have ample seed beds; twice as
large as you think you need, keep them
full of large stocky plants, and if you
finally throw most of the plants away,
so much the better, for in this case you
will have had a favorable season. The
seed bed is a safeguard against adj
verse seasons.
Plant neither too high nor too low.
If the season is wet, stir the soil mod
arately deep as soon after rains as the
ground becomes dry enough. If the
season is dry keep the cultivator or
harrow going at short intervals, run
ming as light as possible.
The crops Of this, the Manatee river
section are late, but are in good condi-
ton, growing we'll, and with good
and good prices will yet yield
a fair return for time and money spent.

PROTECTION PROTECTS.

One hardly expects the st. Paul
Globe to pay even incidental trib-
ute to the value of protection, and
especially protection to the agricul-
tural interests of the country. But
its Monday edition says:

dicted 20 cent wool for the West In

sheep. "Why, my dear fellow l
said, "buy 'em and 500 more, and if
you can't get 20 cents a pound for the
clip in 1901 I'll buy your wool at that
figure. Now, what leads me to be-
lieve in my prediction is the rushed
condition of every wool-cloth produ-
Ger in the country, and the general
reign of prosperity in all other lines.
The factories are running day and
night in many instances, and the drum
mers l meet tell me their sales are 100
per cent greater than last year, and
that rush orders with the factories are
out of the question. When I look
