ng In Five Or Six Weeks 
When Dwarf Essex Rape is seeded with Oats to be har- 
vested, it is often advisable, particularly with early Oats, 
to seed the Rape two or three weeks later than the Oats, to 
give the grain crop the advantage in growth. 
PLANTED WITH CORN 
- Rape can very profitably be seeded 
with Corn at the last cultivation for ‘hog- 
ging down” or for pasturing with sheep 
in the fall. The seed is usually scattered 
with a hand seeder at the rate of 3 to 5 
lbs. per acre immediately before the last 
cultivation. The success of this practice 
is dependent on sufficient rainfall for both 
crops, but it is inexpensive and usually 
worth the attempt. 
SEX RAPE FOR SHEEP 
Sheep do splendidly on Rape for it is particularly 
adapted to the fattening of lambs, particularly with 
some shelled corn in addition. Rape in itself is al- 
most too rich a protein forage to be used alone. 
FOR SWINE 
There is no better pasture for young, growing 
pigs than Dwarf Essex Rape, although a high pro- 
tein supplement, such as skimmed milk, tankage, oil 
meal, or a hog feed concentrate in addition to corn, 
is recommended for the most effective results. 
Dry Brood Sows do particularly well on Rape pas-

ture when they are fed liberally of corn, grain or 
grain by-products in conjunction. The addition of 
high protein ingredients is worth while for milk pro- 
ducing sows.
