English Rape. 



Rape may be sown broadcast at the 

 rate of 6 lbs. per acre, and harrowed in, 

 or the land may be thoroughly harrowed 

 and the seed sown in urills, 18 to 24 in. 

 apart, at the rate of 2 to 3 lbs per acre. 

 Under favorable conditions it is ready 

 for pasturing sheep or cattle within six 

 weeks from time of sowing, and on an 

 average one acre will carry twelve to 

 fifteen sheep six weeks to two months. 

 In the Nortnern States it should be sown 



from May to August for fall pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool'weather, it should 

 not be sown in the Southern States until September or October for winter pasture. Its 

 fattening propertiesare probably twice as good as those of cl>ver, and for sheep the feed- 

 ing value of Rape excels all other plants we know of. fatteuing and putting them in
