Rape is planted either in rows oil
soWn broadcast; the latter methods Is
most common. 1t is important that
rape be sown in Missouri at the
earliest date at which the ground can
be prepared. II sown broadcast
prepare the land thoroughly as for
oats and harrow 10. Eve pounds Of
seed per acre. II sewn IN rows use
three pounds per acre, in rows three
feet apart. This should be cultivated
two or three times. Always SOW the
Dwarf Essex variety. In the writer's
experience when sown broadcast the
yield is considerably increased by
sowing one bnshel OF oats per acre with
the rape. When the oats have
reached the milk stage the hogs or
sheep should be turned on. Another
way in which rape IS sometimes sown
Is to SOW thinly on oAt land or wheat
land in the spring; after the grain
crop is harvested the rape furnishes an
abundant pasture during the fall. 1t
is also sow In corn at the last
cultivation, and sometimes produces a
valuable pasture when handled in this
way. 1t can be pastured until the
latest freezing frosts without injury to
the animals.

Woman In the PrOfesstOns.

Justice David J. Brewer contributes
an interesting article on woman in
the Professions" in the DclineatOr.
The justice comments on the fact that
during the last half century woman has
broken down the doors Of entrance into
professional life. that she is no longer
merely an incident but conspicuous
factor in politics and many Of the pro
LESSONS. TO quote in part
7 She has a brain and is capable or
| receiving the highest educational train
ing. The land il covered with co-ed'i-
cational colleges and universities. and
no one has yet had the hnrdihoOd to
say that she does not make a success
of her work in them. In the realm OF
| literature she il constantly present.
Prose and poetry are at her command.
| who writes the most of our acceptable

look down on Mrs. Browning: No long
err are face and form everything We
have learned to behold the intellect in
her. We see her in the pulpit. at the
bar. and in the doctors office. She
knows something Of the Bible. quotes

tors. writes prescriptions in Il dead Ian
guage. She claims the right to he in
every department OF professional life.
and many are asking how far she has
gone and will go in that life; what
has been and what will be her success.
True. she has not yet become baseball
or football champion and this depart

But who knows how soon she may be-
come II successful competitor therein:
She is developing as an athlete. Some
