of milk given. There is not much yari-

real profit in the feeding portions como
from that portion Of the feed which
goes to the production Of milk. The
COWS that give the most milk should
be fed accordingly. A little attention
to the likes and dislikes Of the indivi
dual COW will often show that certain
COWS will do much better when their
ration is varied from time to time OF
when they are fed larger amounts of
some favOrite feed.

THRIVE 0NRAPEFEED
By G. A. SAHR
Assistant Agronomist q. 8. Experiment
Station.

Station. :.
TO meet the forage requirements for
hogs and poultry of the average farmer
Of Hawaii, no crop seems worthier of
mention than rape. Like the cabbage
and turnip this variety of kale appears
to readily adapt itself to variety of
climate and soil conditions, though best
results with rape are produced from
rich moist soils. 1t has not proved sat.
isfactory at Haiku, Maui, but has sue.
ceedcd very well at the U. s. Expert
ment Station at Honolulu.
There are two varieties of rape, the
summer or birdseed' rape an annual
grown largely in Europe for its oileake,
and the biennial or winter rape, Of
which type the dwarf Essex rape is the
best known and most extensively grown
in the United States,
Succulent Forage '.ts
Rape produces yields of from 10 to
% tons OF green succulent forage per
acre in from 70 10 weeks time after
sowing. The plants should If intended
for poultry pasture, attain a height of
10 or II inches before access be Civ
en- for pasturage, and from 10 to Is
inches if for hogs. The portions of the
plants eaten in pasturing are the young
leaves and stems, and as soon as the
plants are eaten down to four or Ave
leaves, the hogs or chickens should be
removed to allow ten days or fort
night for recuperation Of the stand be-
fore again opening for pasture.
All kinds of livestock on rape pas,
ture appear to require considerable salt
which must be literally supplied. In
many feeding tests rape has been found
to be considerably more than a main.
tenancc ration, for which reason all
grain or concentrates fed to hogs on
rape pasture goes more or less entirely
TO make gain. Owing to the sueehleuce
of the rape plant stock not aeepst omed
to green pastmage, should not be given
access to a rape field on an empty
stomach A second precaution 10 be
observed particularly with light color
ed breeds of hogs, is TO prevent access
of such breeds to the rape, field while
the foliage is wet with rain or dew
| in MS much as it has been observed that
contact with the foliage when wet has
caused skin eruption,
Rape Pasture r
The value of rape pasture ranks next
to rcd clover or alfalfa pasture the
rape being given the preference by
many stockmen, many instances being
"ited in which less concentrates were
required TO make hundred pounds gniu
with hogs on rape pasture than with
alfalfa.
In trials with rape made by the ex
pertinent station, extremely good yield,
were obtained in various instances
planted alone or as a mike croD with
legume. During dry and windy per
