RAPE FOR FALL FEEDING.

While rape is Acknowledged to be an
excellent crop to grow for swine and
poultry. its main feeding value is un.
doubtedly for sheep. Several methods
Of growing it have been given in this
department, but when grown for sheep
who have fair pasture during the
spring and summer. the best plan yet
discovered by the writer is to grow
it so that the sheep may get the benefit
OF IL in the fall just before being taken
into winter quarters. At this time OF
the year good pasture is scarce, and
unless care is taken the sheep are
likely TO run down before being wholly
barnfed. To get good crop of rape
In the fall. sow the seed at the rate
Of about four pounds an acre just be-
fore the last cultivation of the corn.
Then turn the sheep into this field
just before husking time. They will
not injure the corn materially. simply
tearing OFF some low-hanging blades.
but will get several good feelings OF
the rape. II the season is open it Is
quite likely the rape will make a fair
second growth so that the sheep may
be turned into the field again after
the corn has been harvested. The
plan has worked well wherever tried
and is worth experimenting with.

ENGLISH CONSERVATISM.

English conservatism and inertncss

and pointed ont TO his father the al
vantage IL would be. Instead Of being
ratcful to his son the old man replied
that he had been in the business all
his lifc and his father before him, and
that he considered It presumption on
the part OF his son to attempt to teach
him. And the new machinery was not
put in. Another young man pointed out
TO his father how the Americans gained

styles of hats; how an effort was made
frequently to vary the curves or lines,

GRASS RUNS FOR SMALL CHICKS.

One Of the dangers TO small chicks is
letting them run in the deep grass in
the early morning when the dew is
heavy. This danger is. of course, greater
In the early spring than later. when the
weather gets warmer. II the chicks
are being raised on the colony plan so
hat a section of range is given to each
colony. and this is the best way to han.
lie them, the grass should be cut sev.
eral times during the month to keep it
short enough so that the chicks may
run in it without getting too damp. II
4 lawn mower is used the blades should
be set so high that the blades of grass
will be an inch high. at least, after the
cutting is done. This will give the
chicks plenty of green food and enable
them TO get at the insects better and
reduce the danger Of catching roup.
which would be the case if they ran in
the deep grass. This work is not a
great deal of trouble TO take when one
realizes that it may mean the saving
Of a number of chicks.

PROFITS FROM GOOD POULTRY.


There are several instances on rec

profits ranging from $50 to $40 from
100 hens for period of six months, the
cool months of the year. all of the food
given the fowls having been bought i'm
The open market at regulation prices.
If these figures may he taken as
guide it is easy to figure the immense
advantage possessed by the farmer
who can grow most OF the feed re-
luired by the fowls during the winter.
Il is safe TO say that il the farm was
credited with the crops at regular
wholesale prices. less the cost of pro-
iuctiou. and this price charged to the
poultry account, the poultry profits
would be increased one-half over the
igures given. II is true that II would

The focl; was increased five fold. for
