It has always been a wonder to us why Rape has not been sown far more extensively than it has been. There are millions of acres of good land that lie idle part or all of the year to run to weeds that can be sowed to this Rape and produce the finest feed imaginable and at the same time improve the fertility of the soil. Buckbee's Wonderful Dwarf Bonanza Rape. Professor Shaw of the Minnesota Agricultural College says: "On fifty- four aci'es rape after Winter Rye had been removed, Sheep and Lambs were fattened thereon ; 18 S eers fed thereon for 59 days; and several acres were uneaten when Winter set in. Fui'ther one acre of Rape will jiasture 10 to 16 lambs, 2 to 2}4 months when Rye has preceded it. When sown alone it will pasture 36 head for two months. That the lowest average gain on lambs fed on Rape alone is 7 to 8 lbs. per month.'' There is a great need of Rape especially in the Fall of the year when the Corn has been harvested and just before the setting in of Winter. Farmers are obliged to depend solely on tlieir pastures to feed their stock. Now after the pastures give out they begin feeding their hay. Buckbee's Dwarf Bonanza liape does away with all this and gives a luxuriant pasture and a ti-emcndous yield during the months when it is so greatly ]â ceded. Sown in July, August, or early in September it makes large yielding nutritious succulent pasturage all through the Fall, Winter and early Spring. The fattening properties of Rape are said to be much better than tho^se of c
