Rape was first Introduced Into this country from England, whero lt has been grown for hundreds of years. Oil rich land lt is ono of our best soiling crops for hogs and sheop. lt "belongs (o the cabbage family, and tho leaves resemble those of tho mustard family. There aro several varlet!cu, but tho best variety ls the dwarf Essex rape, which ls a bien nial. Thefe are a number of varie ties, but these are of little value. If dwarf Essex rape is planted any time during the summer or fall, lt will afford pasturage all during the winter and will mature Its seed the following .lune. When grown on rich land two or three cuttings can be obtained. However, the best way to handle rape is to plant lt for pasturing purposes. Hogs pat lt greedily, and they can be turned on lt ut will and there will be no dan ger of their eating too much, How ever, tf sheep or calves aro pastur ed, care slum ld be taken to feed them some hay first, as there will be some danger of bloat. The South Carolina Experiment Station lias obtained as much as 2fj tons of forage from tills plant. Rape requires a rich soil, and while lt will grow on almost any type of soil, it is highly necessary that the ?oil be made rich by hea\> applica tions of well decomposed stable manure and large applications ot' commercial fertilizers. Any land that is well suited to cabbage will grow rape profitably. The seed should be sown at Hie rate of ?1 or ?I pounds per acre, and care should be taken that the seed are not sown too deep. From ono to two inches is the looper depth. In South Car olina the best Hmo to sow rape seed is in October. However, they can be sown any tillie during the spring. In two months after sowing Hie seed the rape will be ready for pasturing. Uti pe lg a splendid crop to sow after a v inter legume, such as bur clover, crimson clover or vetch. The seed should be sown at Intervals ol' two or three weeks, thus giving continuous pasturage nil during the suinmer and fall months, if plant ed for seed, it should bo planted In September in rows 21 inches apart, and the rape should bo cultivated during the late summer to keep down crab grass and oilier grass and weeds, and ii should not bc pas tured. All enormous amount of seed can be obtained on one acre of im proved soil. The greatest enemy we have in South Carolina is the plant louse. Al this writing the South Carolina Experiment Station has a beautiful patch Ol' rape gone to seed, but the plants are Ulled with thousands of plant lice thal will cul down the y ield considerably . Kane has never been fed with suc cess to dairy cattle, as lt taints Hie flavor of the milk and butler. lt ls, however, one of our best hog crops, as it is very rich in protein; in fact, almost as rich as clover hay. lt. how. ver. cannot be depended upon to furnish Hu entire feed of the hog because it makes a soft, oily fat. Hogs grczing on rapo should, therefore, be fed some grain, which makes a linn meat. ISvei'.V farmer has about bis feed lot a small patch that is rich enough to plant rape on. and every farmer .should have a small patch of rape for his young pigs and hogs. J, H. Harper.
