Rapo and Its Cult Walton.

]. II. Skinner, assistant agricultur-
ist of the Indiana Experiment Sta
ton, sends out a press bulletin on
rape growing We believe this plant
to be very valuable to the farmer and
would advise its more general grow
Ing. The bulletin referred to is as fol-
lows:
Rape is a succulent plant belonging
TO the cabbage family. 1t grows rap
id y, making a large amount of green
food, upon which pigs and sheep grow
well. To make a success of rape, select
a rich piece of land free from weeds.
Pow deep. then roll-if not too moist,
and harrow till the soil is finely pull
verified and we'll firmed d, l. Finish
the preparation by runnl a plank
drag over 1t. Such q see, bed will
terminate the seed quickly aid enable
the plants to withstand dry weather.
l prefer to have the blowing done just
before sowing. This will give the rape
an even start with the weeds.
Sow with garden seed-drill, three
pounds, or five pounds broadcast per
acre. When drilled the rows should
not be more than 20 to "a inches apart.
Drill sowing will permit cultivation,
which will keep down weeds, conserve
moisture and increase the yield.
Where drilled the animals destroy less
as they walk, and lie down between
the rows. If sown broadcast cover
with harrow or weeder and roll. In
many cases it is well to roll the drill
sowing also.
The season will control time of seed
ing. Do not SOW until the ground has
become warm enough to quickly germ
mate the seed. as it comes up better
and grows more rapidly. Usually 1t
should not be sown before the middle
of April-in lis latitude of north CEN
trail Indian. 1t is best to SOW at in
tervais OF ten days to two weeHs. By
the use of low hurdles, this will give
fresh pasture throughout the season,
as the early sowing can be grazed off
second time. This also makes less
waste as the stock does not run over
1t so much. Rape may be sown IN the
corn just before the last cultivation.
If the soil is not too dry, 1t will grow
well unless the corn is very large and
thick. Where thus sown 1t makes
splendid pasture for lambs from Sep
TENDER till cold weather. Some men
have had success in sowing rape with
oats This however is not a sure way
es the season will have much to do
with it,
1t is a good plan to have the rape
patch near the barns and alongside OF
the pasture. This brings the animals
under the stockman's eye, and if a
lamb "bloats" he is there to give it at
tention. If the stock can go freely
back and forth between the pasture
and rape, it will save trouble, time,
/ labor and even loss. Rape thus sup
PIGMENTS the pasture, making fat
lambs and good pigs. Where sheep
have access to both rape and grass,
they should not be turned on the rape
until the middle of the day when the
animals are not hungry enough to
gorge themselves, and the rape is free
from dew. II they do not have the
run of the pasture, turn them on the
rape for an hour day gradually in
creasing the time, until they become
accustomed to it. Then keep them on
it continuously till the end of the sea-

Pasture and range are necessary in
order to keep breeding swine in a
healthy condition and grow the stock
at profit. The man who cries to raise
swine under other conditions is play
ing losing game, and his balance will
be on the debtor side of the led ger
just as sure as we have day and night
Although these facts have been vouch-
ed for many times by experiment sta
tons and successful swine raisers and
given wide publicity, thousands OF
farmers still continue in trying to
raise hogs in a dry lot with nothing
but corn as feed, with the exp'cta-
lions of making it a profitable opera
ton.
A hog pasture does not mean q dust
lot with possibly a few old weeds off
in one corner. but a good and commo
dious range. and II planned to give the
best results, it will contain a variety
Of crops, selected as to their food
value. The pasture should not be so
small that the hog is compelled to eat
his own filth to get the feed. Every
farm should have six to eight acres
of hog pasture fenced purposely for
this use This is in addition to what
range may be utilized outside at times.
Better far to have a little too much
than not enough. If the crop gets
ahead of the hogs and becomes woody
cut it off with the mower and a new
growth will start. This can be done
with many plants and will pay even If
the moved portion is not gathered
The pasture may be greatly fertiliZed
by this method in many cases. The
enclosure should be divided into two
or three parts, at least, so that while
one part is being pastured, crops may
be growing in the others.
While succulent food Is very essen
tial the year round for growing and
breeding stock, the exercise is Just as
necessary. Pigs confined in pens will
do much better if they have some
green feed, but the results will be
vastly better If the pigs are allowed
range and the chance to gather this
feed for themselves. Any green crop
is much better than no pasture, but
some crops for this purpose are very
much superior to others, and a variety
of crops, even though they may be
much alike in composition, are supe-
rior to single crop. Many swine
raisers that appreciate the value of a
hog pasture, do not realize the import
ance Of giving attention to variety and
composition of the plants to be used.
In selecting the crops for hog pasture
consider the composition of the plants
as you would consider the composition
Of the grain in ration. Bear in mind
that certain crops are rich in the food
nutrient protein, that is so essential in
the animal system to build up the
frame and muscle, and is very neces-
sary in the food of breeding stock.
Crops of the opposite nature are rich in
carbohydrates the heat and fat form
ing compounds. Endeavor to have
some of the former to pasture along
with the latter and the results will be
better.

Alfalfa SIIage.

A bulletin OF the Colorado station
thus summarizes the results Of tests
of alfalfa as n silage crop: Some tests
were carefully made upon small scale
to see what losses might be expected
in making silage of alfalfa. One test
was made with the alfalfa put in
whole as cut in the field, the other
with the alfalfa cut into quarter-inch
pieces as we cut our corn for silage.
The whole alfalfa showed spoiled
layer three inches thick on the top
and an inch layer around, the side
nearly all the way down. The silage
of the bottom and middle was excel
lent and was greedily eaten by the
cows and calves. It's loss in the total
weight WIS 1917 per cent but its loss
in feeding v'..ue was probably a little
larger. The other silo was filed with
cut alfalfa. The next day the silo
was covered with two thicknesses of
building paper and one of boards and
weighted with stone to about 55 pounds
per square foot When covered, the
silage was hotter than the hand could
bear. Two lays later the tempera-
ture lad fallen to SO degrees F.. and
in two days more had fallen to that of
the air. The siiage shrank and set
tied a good deal. When put in 1t con-
tanned 33 per cent of dry matter. On
opening, the silo showed inches OF
spoiled silage on top and half an inch
on the sides. The spoiled silage was
7.3 per cent of the total weight. The
loss in dry matter was approximately
10 per cent. 1t is fair to presume that
with a good tight silo, we'll made
silage from cut alfalfa should not make
larger loss than was here given in
our small experimental silo, or about
10 per cent Of its feeding value. To
make good 81 age from whole alfalfa
is a much harder proposition. II re-
quires that the alfalfa be quite green;
that the silo be both tight and deep;
that the alfalfa be thrown into the silo
in small forkfuls ard carefully
tramped, and that IL be weighted by
four to six feet of some heavy, tight
packing material like cut-corn fodder
If the alfalfa is put up in the middle
Of summer in clear, bright weather
IL must be raked and loaded as fast
as cut. One lot we tried was too dry
for silage two hours after II was cut.
