A GREAT Summer and Autumn Crop DWARF ESSEX RAPE. There are millions of acres of good land that lie idle part or all of the year to run to weeds, that can be sown to this rape and produce the finest feed imaginable and at the same time improve its fertility. It can be sown from May to September in this latitude. It can follow any other crop and furnishes most nutrious pasture, when oftentimes cattle are roaming the fields in search of a scanty living. Should be sown at intervals of two or three weeks, so as to have fresh crops constantly- coming on. From one-half acre there was cut 9t tons of green rape fodder. It is particularly valu- able for sheep and hogs, being twice as nu- trious as red clover. In fact, sheep soon "weigh like lead" when pastured on it. It is hardy in winter, resists severe droughts; in fact, of untold value, and its cultivation is just beginning. Sow 5 lbs. per acre broadcast; 3 lbs. per acre if drilled.
