To call the attention of the farmers to\nthe value of the rape crop to the agriculture\nof Cauada. '2. To make known to them the\nvarious uses to which it may be put, viewed\nfrom the standpoint of our experience with\nit at this station, ,'i. To speak of the best\nmodes of growing it under our conditions\nof soil and climate, so far as wc have been\nable to ascertain these up to the present\ntime. .Since Bulletin LX was issued we\nhave gained not a little information in reference to the growth of this plant, the uses\nto which it may 1 e put and the modes of\nfeeding it; the information thus gleaned ia\nmade prominent in the Bulletin.\nDESCRIPTION ok Rave,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAs many persons\ndo not know what rape is, a brief description\nof the plant may be necessary. It bears a\nclose resemblance to the Swede turnip in\nthe early stagea of its growth, but it usually attains a greater height than the turnip\nand produces more of stem and leaves. It\nhas a fusiform and stringy root while that\nof the turnip is bulbous. On average soils,\nwhen grown in drills it uaually reaches the\nheight of from one to two feet, but on soils\nvery rich in vegetable matter it sometimes\nattains the height of at loast three feet.\nThere are several varieties of rape, but the\nonly kind grown as a pasture in this country is known as the Dwarf Essex.\nAiuitaiiimtv to Climate.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDLike the\nturnip rape is adapted to temperate climates. In all probability it will be found\nto grow in temperatures that are inclined\nto be cool rather than warm. It seems to\ngrow more vigorously in our climate in the\nlate rather than the early summer, and it\ncontinues to grow until the time of severe\nfrosts when not matured at an earlier period.\nIt is scarcely probable that rape will live\nthrough the winter in this latitude and yet\nretain sufficient vigor to produce a crop of\nseed the following summer aa in Great\nBritain. In our experience much of it has\nperished from the intensity of the frosts.\nAdai'TAiuutv ok Soils\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe most suitable soils tor growing rape are fairly moiat,\nfree-working loams, rich in organic matter.\nBlack loams are very suitable after the\nplants once get a start in them owing to the\nlarge amount of liumua which they contain.\nMuck swamps when drained yield magnificent crops, and the rape grown upon them\ntends to reduce the excess of organic matter\nwhich they contain. (Soils that are suitable\n' -r growing good crops of turnips and corn\nirili alao he found well adapted in most instances to the growing of rape, It will not\ngrow well on stiff clays, poor sands or ou\nany kind of soil deficient in plant food,\nPuck in tiik Rotation.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAs rape is an\nexcellent cleaning crop when grown in drills\nand cultivated, it may with much advantage be placed between two crops of grain.\nAs it luxuriates in soils abounding in vegetable matter it may be grown witli much\nsuccess on an overturned sod, inverted in\nthe autumn or in the spring, or just after\ncutting the first crop of clover. We have\nobtained excellent results after sod overturned in August and sown with rye, cut\ngreen, and then followed by rape.\nPreparation ok tiik Sou..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe preparation of the soil will to some extent depend upon the rotation. When rape ia the\nonly crop grown and the land ia not foul\nthorough spring cultivation will be found\nsufficient. When the land requires cleaning\nautumn cultivation followed by frequent\nstirring of the soil iu the spring will be\nfound effective iu reducing weed life and in\nsecuring that fineness of tilth and retention\nof moisture so helpful in the growth of\nrape. A favorite method with ua is to aow\na crop of rye in September, to cut it when\nwell out in head with the binder for winter\nfodder, or when in tlie blossom, to be made\ninto silage. But it would also serve a good\npurpose to sow the rye in August and pas\nture fall and spring until the first of June.\nAfter the rye iu either case the land ia at\nonce prepared for rape. The preparation\nconsists in plowing carefully, rolling as soon\nas plowed, harrowing once a week and making the land iuto drills from 22 to 21 inches\napart just before sowing the rape. When\nrape is grown aa a catch-crop it may be\nsown broadcast or in drills after the removal\nof the previous crop. When sown broadcast the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ground may be turned over\nwith the gang-plow, but when grown in\ndrills and cultivated the ordinary plow\nshould be used.\nFertilizers kor Rape.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAlthough rape\nin an average season will give a fair return\nfrom ordinary land it is unusually responsive to large applications of farmyard manure. In average soils, therefore, it is more\nthan probable that the application of a complete fertilizer will give good results, but in\nour experience the largest increase of crop\nhas heen obtained from the application of\nnitrate of soda anil the next largest from\nthe application of salt.\nSkkh anii Sowing,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The most suitable\ntime for sowing rape in nearly all parts of\nOntario is from June 25th to July 5th although a fair crop may be obtained when it\nis sown earlier, and a full crop may sometimes bo grown as late as the end of July.\nFor catch crops it should be sown as soon as\npossible alter the previous crop has been\nremoved.\nThe mode of sowing and the amount of\nseed used will depin.l upon the object\nsought, When the i round does not require\ncleaning and also on muck swiunpa and\nhumus tolls generally It may be sown broad-\neast al the rale of 3 lo ,'i pounds of seed per\naore, When sown aa a catch crop or for\ngreen manure similar amounts will suffice,\nand the mode of sowing is the same. When\nsown in drills from I lo 2 pounds of seed\nmay he used, according to the condition of\nth,- ground. The seed ia ordinarily sown\nwith a turnip drill which puts in two rows\nat a time. It may be obtained Irom any\nof our leading seedsmen and usually at a\ncobI notexcoedhlg 10 cents per pound.\nCl'laTIVATION, When the rough leaf has\nmade n good stall In tho rape the cultivator\nmay bo introduced, ll should run as close\nIn the line of the rows as is consistent with\nthe safety of the plants, and the cultivation\nshould bo frequent until the topsof the rape\nhavo made a near uppiuaehj-etween the\nrows,\nWhen the land is fairly clean no hand-\nhoeing is required, but when it is foul it\nwill be necessary to go along the line of the\ndrill with th\" hand-hoe once or twice to remove weed\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhich need not of necessity cost\nmore than *l per acre.

Rape is an excellent pasture for sheep and lambs and for\ncattle that are being fattened, and so far\nas we can judge from our limited experience,\nit will also furnish good pasture for swine.\nThe nutritive ratio of green rape as given\nby Wolfe is 1 i2,B, while that of red clover\nin blossom is only 1:5.7. All things considered thc value of rape for fattening ia\nfrom two to three times greater than that\nof one cutting of a crop of clover of a similar\narea.\nIn 1NSD we pastured -IS lambs on rape; in\n1800, 537 head, and 1891,086 head. A number of these in each instance were carried\non into the winter after the season for\npasturing was over, and it was found that\nthey fed well when taken off the rape\nand put into winter quarters.\n2. Rape as a catch crop. The extent to\nwhich rape may be grown as a catch crop is\nonly limited by the desires of the farmer\nand the nature of the season as to the presence or absence of moisture, it may follow any grain crop that has been reaped\nearly and that has been sown with graaaes\nor clovers. In 1891 we grew rape in drills\non 2.IS acreaof land which had already\nproduced an extraordinary crop of wheat,\nlit) lambs were pastured on the rape grown\nupon it for 2d days without any additional\nfood. The aggregate increase in live weight\nwas at thc rate of 179 pounds per aero,\nwhich at .I cents per pound gives $8,95 aa\nthe food value of the rape without couaid-\nering the increaae in value of the original\nweight of carcaae.\n,'l. Rape as a soiling orop, Ourexperienco\nwith rape aa a soiling crop is somewhat\nlimited, hut we have found that when it is\ncut before the snow falls and put up in heaps\nof some size in tho field it will keep for\nseveral weeks. It may then be drawn from\nthese heaps when wanted and fed to animals\nindoors. Although milch cows cannot be\npastured upon rape owing to the taint\nwhich it would give the milk we have good\nreasons for believing that if it is carried and\nfed to the cows after each milking the results will he satisfactory.\n4. Rape us a green manure. Although\nourexperienco in growing rape as a green\nmanure is limited, thero need he no doubi\nas to its pre-eminent adaptability for that\npurpose especially when grown as a catch\ncrop. The roots permeate the soil and the\nplants when not matured will continue to\ngrow until the time of hard frost.\n5. Rape as a cleaning crop. As a cleaning\ncrop we have none that will compare with\nrape in all round effectiveness, On soils\nsuitable to its growth almost any of the\nmore noxious forma of weed life can be eradicated in a single season, with wise management, except in so far as the aeeda of the\nsame remain in the ground without germination.\nPrecautions to be Ouservkd in Grow-\nini!

When sheep are put\nupon il they may be left there, but when\nthey have free access to a pasture they will\nprobably do better. They should have salt\nat will but usually do not require grain. On\nvery frosty mornings, they should be kept\noff the rape for a time. The owners of purebred stock should use much care when pasturing valuable animals on rape,\nCONCU'SIDN'S.\n1. That in nearly all the cultivable portions of the Dominion the climatic conditions will be found suitable to the growing\nof rape.\n2. That a k.ige proportion of the soil of\nOntario is well adapted to the growth of\nrape.\n3. That rape ia specially valuable as a pasture for fattening sheep and lambs owing to\nthe season of 1 he year at which it grows, and\nlo its high feeding value.\n4. That it is an excellent food when preparing lambs for winter fattening.\n5. That one acre of rape grown in drills\nimmediately after a crop of rye cut aa a\ngreen tood will paature from 10 to lli lambs\nfor from 2 to 2\ months, and that when\ngrown as the sole crop of the season under\nfavorable conditions it will suataiu a much\nlarger number.\n6. That ordina'y grade iambs when pastured on rape without any other food supplement will make an average gain of 10\npounda per month.\n7. That rape is admirably adapted for\ngrowing aa a catch crop to be fed off or\nplowed under as a green manure.\n8. That rape oa a cleaning crop ia probably\nwithout a rival in our present system of\nagriculture.\n9. That much care and prudence must be\nexercised iu pasturing auimals on rape or\naerioua losses may follow.\n10.

As\nsoon as one employment becomes of serious\nimport and of value enough for men to\nadopt it, women are quite likely to discard\nit, or are frightened out of competition with\ntheir stronger brethren, Several centuries\nago, when the mass of mankind was occupied with feats of arms, women were the\nonly leeches known. It waa considered a\nmost womanly act to study the virtues of\nherbs and medicines, and even to acquire\nthe art of surgery. Yet, till within the\nlast score of years, it has been a common thing to sneer at a woman physician as\nthose who have stepped out of the limits\nprescribed for their sick, Gradually the prejudice aca'iist the woman physician is being\novercome. Many other cases might be instanced where women have gono back into\nlucrative employment* from which they\nhad been pushed by the superior force of\nmen and made a success of thom. The most\nconservative thinker could hardly say that\nbutter-making was not a woman's employment, but as soon as butter-making is conducted in a large creamery, where it becomea a matter of a thousand pounds a\nweek instead of fifty, and is conducted on\nscientific principles ao that the result is\nsure, it is done by men. The tact is that\nour farmer's wives, witli their long experience in butter-making, are being driven out\nof an excellent and lucrative employment\nby the engagement of male and alien hands.\nNo one doubts that the business of creameries is a success, yet it is to be regretted\nthat in woman's peculiar sphere she has not\nmade this success her own, and has allowed\nthe middlemen to come between her and the\nmarket.\nWhy should not farmers'wives and daughters in a large neighborhood organize and\n, establish a co-operative creamery, to which\nthey would all furnish the cream? There are\nabundance of farmers' daughlera seeking\nemployment in the cities studying art,\nstudying what not, who could do all the\nwork ol such an establishment except the\nwork of lifting heavy buckets, which ought\nto be done by a male employe. There ia no\nessential part of the work of butter-making\nwhich muy not he better entrusted to\nwomen's hands than to men's. The establishment should, of course, bo conducted on\nstrict business principles. There should\nbe agencies for the sale of the butter in\ncities and villages where it will command\nthe best price, and such agencies should be\nin charge of daughters of those interested\nin the co-operative scheme. There is no\npossible reason why many of the army of\nunemployed women who are continually\ndrifting to the cities for work should not\nbe aided by such a project as this. There is\nalways a demand for home-made bread and\ncake, home-made pickles and home-made\npreserves, at prices which will compete\nwith the inferior produce of this kind now\nfor sale. Canning and pickling establishments of a similar kind might also be conducted on the co-operative plan by unemployed women.\nIt is not our purpose to add to the many\nburdens of the farmer's wife. It ia not a\nquestion so much of whether she finds\nenough to do as whether what she does\ngives the beat result.
