Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown 
in any part of the United States, and of great value for sheep and 
lambs. One acre of Rape is sufficient to pasture 10 to 15 lambs for 
two to two and one-half months. It is often sown broadcast, 
about 5 Ibs. to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about 
3 lbs. to the acre in rows 22 inches apart, and cultivated until the 
plants are well developed. It may be sown in May, but pref- 
erably in June or July. Lb., 22 cts.; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
Rye, Spring. Sow as a ‘‘catch”’ crop, where Winter grain has 
failed. The straw is shorter and stiffer than the Winter variety, 
and is always easily secured, while the grain is of equal value. 
Sow 14 to 2 bushels per acre. Bushel (56 lbs.). 
plication.) x 
Rye, Fall or Winter. Sow in August and September. Prepare 
the ground as for Wheat and sow at the rate of 13 bushels per acre.

Sand Veteh or Hairy Vetch. (Vicia villosa.) An excellent 
hardy plant of the Pea family, yielding large crops for feeding 
green, or soiling. It should be sown at the rate of from 3 to 4 
pecks, per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October 
1, and with it as a supporting crop to raise the vines up off the 
ground there should be planted from 3 to 4 pecks of Winter Wheat, 
Oats, or Rye. It should be cut while the Vetch is in full bloom. 
It may be planted in Spring in order to supply an early green crop 
for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late Autumn forage.

also for fuel. It is immensely productive, and can be raised 
cheaper than corn, as any waste piece of ground will suffice. 
It is the best egg-producing food known. Sow 5 lbs. per acre.
