Planting.

Planting.
The seed are largely imported and
are generally very cheap-five to ten
cents per pound. The crop should,
for best success. be planted in Au-
gust or September on a very rich and
thoroughly prepared soil. The land
and its preparation are the same as
for good crop Of turnips. The seed
may be sown broad cast, five to
seven pounds per acre, or in drills
two to two and a half feet apart.
four to five pounds per acre. IN the
tiVations may be given to save mois-
ture and destroy weeds and grass
The crop is also successfully grown
by planting with oats, planting the
seed broad cast after the oats have
been sown in the fall.
Fertilizing.
If the soil is not rich and we'll sup
piled with vegetable matter, ten to
fifteen tons Of good stable manure
should be thoroughly worked into
the surface. In addition to this SEQ
pounds acid phosphate and 500
pounds kainit should be applied per
acre. top dressing Of 100 rounds
of nitrate of soda should be added in
the spring. The fertilization will
necessarily vary with the quality of
soil.
Grazing.
When planted early in the fall or
with oats the crop should be foot
or more in height and ready to Craze
by November. Pigs should be turned
on and allowed to stay un-
til everything is eaten except the
stubs and then taken off. Another
crop will come and be ready to
Craze in the spring. After the last
grazing the land should be planted
in soy beans or cOwpeas for n sum-
mer crop. In case the weather in
the fall is such as to prevent plant
ing, and such is often the case. the
seed may be sown in February or
March with good results. though fall
planting is to be preferred. Pigs
grazing on rape or other similar
crops should have a small amount Of
corn or other grain feed oach day.
For best results one percent Of the
weight of the animals should he fed
each day. This has been found the
best way to secure maXimum results
from the rape crop.
