Rape For Lambs.

If lambs are intended for fall or
early winter market piece of rape
may be sown not later than July l..
In an experiment conducted at our COL
lege, says the New York Farmer. rape
pasture took the place Of grain for
each lamb daily in comparison with
another lot on grass pasture with one
pound Of grain daily and no rape. In
other words, one pound Of grain was
saved by each lamb daily. and the
lambs on rape made just as much gain
as the other lambs that received one
pound a day.
1t was further learned when finish
ing both lots off In early winter that
the lambs that had received rape be-
fore winter feeding did considerably
better than the other lot not receiving
rape before being put into the lot.
Flock masters who are acquainted
with the value Of rape SOW 1t with
small grain or corn to pasture 1t on
after the grain is harvested.
