Rapc-value, Use and Culture.

| a contributor to the Prairie Farmer
says on this subject:
Every year the question of cheal
summer forage becomes more and NOR
pressing. To the farmer whose pasture
lands are of limited area the use oi
some crop capable of producing tn.
tious forage is imperative Various
crops have been tried, and it is no,
my aim to condemn any. but rather
TO bring one valuable plant to your
consideration and solicit for 1t trial
The crop l mean is rape. 1t ranks
as one of the most nutritious of our
forage plants. 1t is remarkable not
only for the valuable character of the
food it supplies. but also for the large
amount that may be produced on a
given area. 1t will yield two or thres:
cuttings in the season, and the amount
harvested from an acre may vary from
% 10 50 tons in the summer
The quality of the food produced IS
most excellent. Analysis shows 1t to b.
richer than clover in fesh-forming ma
terial. Feeding operations prove it II
be particularly we'll suited for beef
cattle, young stock. sheep. lambs ana
swine. 1t may be used as a pasture.
and this fact renders 1t all the more
valuable to the busy farmer.
1t will grow on almost any kind of
soil. 1t will give fair return from
poor land 1t will yield heavy crop
on average soil 1t will produce an i'm
mense amount of food on very rich
land. 1t does we'll on dry soil: 1t thrives
and grows apace on moist places 1t
Will grow on good land no matt ar
how dry the season. If sown in rows
and cultivated. 1t Will flourish in tie
most rainy weather If water does not
stand in the field. Stubble or falow
should be used; sod Is not suitable.
II intended for pasture. 1t is usually
best to SOW broadcast at the rate of 3
lib per acre. The exception is when
pigs are to be pastured, for experience
has shown us that 1t is better unde
such conditions to SOW in rows 81 to ~
inches apart. The space between the
rows may be cultivated once or twi,a
till the plants are We'll under way.
The pigs may usually be turned in

lures at intervals. 1t will be found
necessary to limit the meal ration If
the most profitable results are to be
looked for.
Steers do well on 1t at any time. but
it is probably of the greatest value for
beef production in the autumn. Lambs
ana sheep like it and do we'll on 1t ut

Fined to rape exclusively. and care must
be exercised to prevent their bloating

applies to steers or young cattle.

Rye as Hoo Food,

From the standpoint of chemical
analysis wheat is little richer in feed
ing constituents than rye. although we
have no record of experiments in which
II has proven that wheat is superior
ago number of contributions appear-
ed in this paper from subscribers con-
corning the feeding value of rye, and
i'll every case 1t was considered TO be
the equal of corn If not it's superior.
In any case II should be ground or
soaked. as 1t is so hard that some of
1t escapes mastication. II ground rye
should be made into slop for the
reason that 1t tends to form a doughty
mass around the lips and gums of the
hog. and consequently becomes a
source of great annoyance.
Ground oats and rye, equal parts,
make an excellent food for brood sows.
The hull of the oat makes the food
somewhat bulky, and this is highly de-
sirable. Possibly little ear corn
might be fed to advantage. the pro-
portion Of corn amounting to one
fed.
Ground oats and rye will be found
a satisfactory ration for growing pigs.
The percentage of fiesh-forming con-
stituents is large enough to supply
material for the building up OF mus
Giles, while experience in feeding oats
seems to indicate that there is an
abundant supply of mineral matter al
so. which. OF course, is very necessary
in building up bone.

Stomach Worm Ia Sheep.

The stomach worm Is about the most
troublesome parasite that preys upon
sheep. There is probably larger
number of lambs lost from this cause
than from any other disease. Our
readers are of course conversant with
the fact that the remedies usually rec
commended are benzine. creoline and
turpentine Dr. Wheeler, OF North

statement that these remedies are of
