VALUE OF RAPE.
sOwn In July For Late sheep Feed
inG-ThriVes In the North.


Not all sheep raisers appreciate the
immense value of rape This plant
thrives especially we'll in northern lat
itudes and is one of the most valuable
forage crops to be grown in New Eng
land. The soil best adapted is Il rich
one. we'll SuPplied with humus and veg
etable matter The plant does especial
ly we'll on muck or old pasture lands.
Lighter soils are inclined to give a
dwarfed plant and rather unsatisfac-
tory crop. Rich clay loans give ex-
cellent results. 1t is important that
the ground be put in good tilth before
planting
For the very early crop rape should
be sOWn as early in spring as the
ground can be worked but for fall
pasturing July 1 is good date 10 put
in the seed The crop natures for feed
ing in about two months from time of
planting. The work of the experiment
stations Indicates that rather better re-
suits may he expected when the seed
is sOwn in drills thirty inches apart at
the rate of two pounds to the acre.
Rape is ideal feed for sheep and hogs.
and even dairy COWS do fairly well on
it. Conservative estimates have it that
an acre of rape will furnish about two
months pasture for twenty lambs
which are being fed Il small grain ra-
tiOn in addition. Sheep should be OBJ
served closely when first turned into
rape or blOating may occur. Some of
the more fOrehanded of our New Eng
land farmers are thoroughly cOnverSant
with the advantages offered by rape as
a forage crop. The brief remarks of
Il Massachusetts farmer given herewith
are of interest:
Il have never fed sheep in summer
except on grass. as | have the best of
natural pastures However. while in
Ontario last fall | saw hundreds of
sheep feeding on rape, which was high
ly recommended by breeders as a crop
either for S0ilng or for feeding off.
The seed is SOWn after wheat or on IS
or even corn at the last hOeing. Care
is required in getting sheep accuStom-
ed to it. as they are liable to scours
if fed too heavily at first. A. W
Smith, winner of the lions share of
prizes in the Leicester classes at st
Louis and Portland exhibitions, told
me that cahbageS are the safest and
best green fall feed for show sheer
and that he always provides Il supply
for his show sheep at no matter what
cost. New England Homestead.

STACKING WHEAT.
An Ohio Man Tells How TO Do a Coed
JOb-Prefers The Rick.


Here every one stacks wheat with
in a week or ten days after cutting.
1t saves the grain in ease of wet
weather, allows the owner to thrash
just when he pleases and renders him
independent Of some poor. cheap rig
of thrasher that comes around
knocking out Il crop here and there.
writes an Ohioan to Farm and Ranch.
l have been stacking wheat more
than thirty years and never had Il
stack TO take water yet. We prefer
the long rick to the round stack and
make our ricks eighteen to twenty feet
long and nine 10 twelve feet wide If
you have no old rails or plank for a
bottom begin by setting up a long
shock, widening and lengthening until
the sheaveS lie nearly fiat, heads up.
Use a short handled fork to place the
sheaIes and stand up. Never get
down on your knees. but stand straight
up, directing the pitcher to throw the
sheaves toward the center of the stack
and in front of you, so you can easily
reach them.
Keep the stack fairly level until you
get as high as a mans head; then keep
the middle full and solid, placing the
two outside courses rather loosely. In
fact. it is best to keep the middle
solid from the very start. and remem-
Der that you are not to get any farther
out than tine heads Of the second course
from the outside, as you may slip your
stack. An expert stacker can work
farther out than beginner. but if
You keep well in you can build just as
good a stack and be in no danger of
slipping the stack. which is a rather
serious matter. Draw in your stack
slowly the first few rounds. and then
you will naturally draw in faster from
the fact that your stack gets smaller
and your middle higher
Any man who can put on good load
of grain can build good stack if he
will remember to keep his middle full
and solid and keep off the outside
courses. One of my sons was a gooi
stacker at nineteen years of age and a

Grass Cured In Wind and shade

Grass Cured In Wind and Shade.
Let us not forget that wind does as
much to cure the hay as does the sun,
says Rural New Yorker. We do not
want sun burnt hay, but we like to
have as close to the color of the grass
as possible with the moisture blown
out of it, The housewife knows how
the clothes dry on a bright day when
the wind is blowing. The best hay Is
cured in the windrOw or cock tossed up
to the wind and yet kept as much as
possible in the shade That is why the
hay tedder and the side delivery rake
are so useful.
