• The Work of Women -
It is exceedingly aggravating to find
women discarding work just as it becomes
financially profitable and men taking it up.
Yet this happens in numberless cases. As
somas one employment becomes of serious
import and of value enough for men to
adopt it, women are quite likely to discard
it, or are frightened out of competition with
their stronger brethren. Several centuries
ago, when the mass of mankind was occu-
pied with feats of arms, women were the
ouly leeches known. It was considered a
most womanly act to study the virtues of
herbs and. medicines, and even to acquire
the art of surgery. Yet, till within the
last score of years, it has ' been a com-
mon thing 'to sneer at a woman physician as
thoae who have stepped. out of the limits
prescribed for their sick: Gradually thoprej-
udice agahast the woman physician is being
overcome. Many other eases might be in-
stanced where women have gone back into
lucrative employments from which they
had been pushed by the euperior force of
men and made a suecess of them. The most
conservative thinker could hardly say that
butter -making was not a woman's employ-
ment, but as soon as butter -making is con-
tlucted in a large creamery, where it be-
comes a matter of a thousand pounds a
'weekinstead of fifty, and is conducted on
scientific principles so that the result is
sure, it is done by men. The tact is that
our farmer's wives, with their long experi-
ence in butter -making, are being driven out
of an excellent and lucrative employment
by the eugagement of male and alien hands.
No one doubts that the business of cream-
eries is a success, yet it is to be regretted
that in woman's peculiar sphere she has not
made this success her own, and has allowed
the middlemen to come between her and the
market.
Why should not farmers'wives and daugh-
ters in a large neighborhood organize and
establish a co-operative creamery, to which
they would all furnish the cream? There are
abundance of farmers' daughters seeking
employment in the cities studying art,
studying what not, who could. do all the
work of such an establishment except the
work of lifting heavy buckets, whieh ought
to be done by a male employe. There Is no
essential part of the work of butter -making
-which may not be better entrusted to
women's bands than to men's. The estab-
Lament should, of course, be conducted on
strict business principles. There should
be agencies for the sale of the butter in
cities and villages where it will command
the beat price, and such agencies should be
in charge of daughters of those interested
in the co-operative srimine. There is no
possible reason why many of the army of
unemployed women who are continually
drifting to the office for work should not
be aided by such a project as this. There is
always a demand for home-made bread and
cake, home-made pickles and homeonade
preserves, at prices which will compete
with the inferior produce of this kind now
for sale. Canning and pickling establish-
ments of a similar kind might also be con-
ducted on the co-operative plan by unem-
ployed women.
it is not our purpose to add to the many
burdens of the farmer's wife. It is not a
question so much of whether she finds
enough to do as whether when she does
gives the best result. There is no use of
fanners of limited means educating their
daugh:ers for teachers, for the ranks of
teachers are over full. There is little more
use in educating them to write poetry as a
remunerative ptofession. What they need
is practical euiployment, which will bring
a practical money return.

physicians had attended. him, and it was
only after he had given up hope of cure
that he decided to try Burdock Blood
Bitters on the recommendation of a
neighbor who had. been cured of a similpr
disease by its use. Mr. Hann writes as
follows: •
Dan Snts.—I think I have been one
of the worst sufferers you have yet heard
of, having been six years in the hands of
four of our best doctors without obtaining
permanent relief, but continually growing
worse, until almost beyond hope of re-
covery, I tried your Bitten and got relief
in a few days. Every organ of ray body
was deranged, the liver enlarged, hardened
and torpid, the heart and digestiye organs
seriously deranged, a large abscess in. my
back, followed by paralysis of the right
leg, in fact the lower half of ray body was
entirely uselesa. After using Burdock
Blood Bitters for a few days the abscess
burst, discharging fully five quarts of pus
in two hours. , I felt as if I had received a
shock from a powerful battery. My re•
covery after this vas steady and the cure
permanent, seeing that for the four years
since I have had as good. health as ever I
bad. I still take a5 occasional bottle, not
that I need it but because I wish to keep
my system in perfect working order. I
can think of no more remarkable case
than what I have myself passed through,
and no words can express my thankfulness
for such petted recovery.

The Ontario Department of Agriculture
has in press the following .bulletin on Rape
Culture by Prof. 'Shaw and, Mr. Zavitz :
The.principal objects of this Bulletin are:
1. To call the attention of the narmers to
the value of the rape crop to the agriculture
of Canada. 2. To make known to them the
various uses to which it may be put, viewed
from the standpoint of our experience with
it at this station. 3. To speak of the besb
modes of growing it under our cohditions
of soil and climate, so far as we have been
able to ascertain these up to the present
time. Since Bulletin int was issued. we
have gained not a little information in ref-
erence to the growth of this plant, the uses
to which it may le put and the modes of
feeding it; the information thus gleaned is
made prominent in the Bulletin.
Descaernon or RAPE. —As many persons
do not know what rape is, a brief description
of the plant may be mecessary. It bears a
close resemblance to the Swede turnip in
the early stages of its growth, but it usual-
ly attains a greater height than the turnip
and produces more of stem and leaves. It
has a fusiform and stringy root while that
of the turnip is bulbous. On average soils,
when grown in drills it usually readies tbe
height of from one to twofeet, but on soils
very rich iu vegetable matter it sometimes
attains the height of at least three feet.
There are several varieties of rape, but the
only kind grown as a pasture in this coun-
try is known as the Dwarf Essex.
ADAPTABILITY TO Oteneerre —Like the
turnip rape ia adapted to temperate cli-
mates. In all probability it will be found
to grow in tetnperaturos that are inclined
to be cool rather than warm. It seems to
grow more vigorously in our climate in the
late rather than the early summer, and it
continues to grow until the time of severe
frosts when not matured at au earlierperiod.
It is scarcely probable than rape will live
through the winter in this latitude and yet
retain sufficient vigor to produce a orop of
seed the following Bummer as in Great
Britain. In our experience muoli of it has
perished from the intensity of the frosts.
ADAPTABILITY OF SOILS --The most suit-
able soils for gaming rape are fairly moist,
free -working beams, rich in organic matter.
Black looms are very suitable after the
plants once get a start in them owing to the
large amount of humus which they contain.
Muck swamps when drained yield reagnifi.
cent crops, and the rape grows upon them
tends to reduce the excess of organic matter
which they contaiu. Soils thet are suitable
for growing good crops of turnips and corn
will also be found well adapted in most in-
stances to the growing of rape. It will not,
grow well on stiff clays, poor sands or on
any kind of soil deficient in plant food.
PLACE px TUE ROTATIO›.7.—As rape is an
excellent cleaning crop when grown in drills
and cultivated, it may with inuch advan-
tage be placed between two crops of grain.
As it luxuriates in soils abounding in vege-
table matter it may be grown with much
success on an overturned sod, inverted in
the autiunn or in, the spring, or just after
cutting the first crop of clover. We have
obtained excellent results after sod over.
turned in August and sown with rye, cut
green, and then followed by rape.
PREPARATION OF TOE Sou,—The prep -
oration of the soil will to soine extent de-
pend upon the rotation. When rape is the
only crop grown and the land is not foul
thorough spring cultivation will be found
sufficient. W ben the land requires cleaning
autumn cultivation followed by frequent
stirring of the soil in the spring will be
found effective in reducing weed life and in
securing that fineness of tilth and retention
of moisture so helpful in the growth of
rape. A favorite method with us is to sow
5 crop of rye in September, to cut it when
well out in head with the binder for winter
fodder, or when in the blossom, to be made
into silage. But it would also serve a good
purpose to sow the rye in August and pas •
ture falland spring until the first of June.
After the rye in either case the land is at
once prepared for rape. Tho preparation
consists in plowing carefully, rolling assoon
as plowed, harrowing mime week and mak-
ing the land iuto drills from 22 to 24 inches
apart just before sowing the rape. When
rape is grown as a catch -crop it may be
sown broadcast or in drills after the removal
of the previous crop. Vt hen sown broad-
cast the ground may be turned over
with the gang -plow, but when grown in
drills and cultivated the ordinary plow
should be used.
Can a Small Boy Lift Six Tons?
Mr. Gosse, itt his "World of Wonders,"
relates the following remarkable story of
a beetle, and gives ingenious comparisons:
"The three -horned beetle has just astonish-
ed me by proving its wonderful bodily
strength. When it was first broughb to me,
having no box immediately at hand, I was
ata loss where to put him until I could find
time to kill and preserve him. At last
a happy thought struck um. There was a
quart bottle of milk sioting on the table,
the bottom of the bottle having a hollow in
it and large enough to allow my prize to
stand erect in it. I soon put him in his
glass case prison and turned to my work.
"Presently, to my great surprise, the
bottle began to move slowly, and then grad-
ually settled down to a smooth gliding
motion across the table. I instantly divin-
ed the cause. It was being propelled by the
muscular power of the imprisoned insect
beneath. The weight of the bottle and its
contents could not have been less than three
and 0, half pounds, while the weight of the
beetle could not have been any way near a
half an ounce.
"Thus I was watching the strange sight
of a living creature moving 112 tirnes its
own weight under the most disadvan-
tageous circumstances. A better notion
than figures can convey will be obtained of
this feat by supposing a lad of 12 years to
be imprisoned under the great bell of St.
Paul's Cathedral, London. That • bell
weighs six tons. If a boy of the age men-
tioned could push within and causetbe bell
to glide along the pavement his strength
would not be equal in proportion to that of
the beetle under the bottle!

In 1889 we pastured 48 lambs on rape; in
1890, 537 head, a.nd 1891, 666 head. A num-
ber of these in each instance were carried
on into the winter after the season for
pasturing was over, and it was found that
they fed well when taken off the rape
and put into winter quarters.
2. Rape as a catch crop. The, extent to
which rape may be grown as a catch crop is
only limited by the desires of tbe farmer
and the nature of the semen as to the pres-
ence or absence of moisture. It" may fol.
low any grain crop that has been reaped
early and that has been sown with grasses
or clovers. In 1891 we grew rape in drills
on 2.18 acres of land which had already
produced an extrar.rdinary crop of wheat.
60 lambs were pastured on the rape grown
npon it for 25 days -without any additional
food. The aggregate increase in live weight
Was at the rate of 179 pounds per acre,
which at 5 cents per pound gives $8,95 58

erIngghtof a

3. Rape as a soiling crop. Our experience
with rape as a soiling crop is somewhat
limited, but we have found that when it is
cut before the snow falls and put up in heaps
of some size in the field it will keep for
several weeks. It may then be drawn from
these heaps when wanted and fed to animals
indoors. Although milch cows cannot be
pastured upon rape owing to the taint
whioh it would give the milk we have good
reasons for believing that if it is carried and
fed to the oows after each milking the re-
sults will be satisfactory.
4. Rape as a green manure. Although
our experience in growing rape as a green
manure is limited, there need be no doubb
as to its pre-eminent adaptability for that
purpose especially when grown as a catch
crep. The roots permeate the mil and the
plants when not matured will continue to
grow uatil the time of hard frost.
5. Rape as A. cleaning crop. As a planning
crop we have none that will compare with
rape in all round effectiveness. On soils
suitable to its growth almost any of the
more noxious forms of weed life can be eradis
cated in a single season, with wise manage-
ment, except in so far as the seeds of the
same remain in the ground without ger-
mination.
PRECAUTIONS TO EE OBSERVED IN GROW -
ENG Ram—Cattle and sheep should never
be turned upon rape when hungry lest they
eat too freely of it. When sheep are put
upon it they may be left there, but when
they have free access to a pasture they will
probably do better. They should have salt
at will but usually do not require grain. On
very frosty mornings, they should be kept
off the rape for a time. The owners of pure-
bred stock ;should use much care when pas-
turing valuable animals on rape.
CONCLUSIONS.
1. That in nearly all the cultivable por-
tions of the Dominion the climatic condi-
tions will be found suitable to the growing
of rape.
2. That a large proportion of the soil of
Ontario is well adapted to the growth of
rape.
3. That rape is specially valuable
a
pas-
ture for fattening sheep and lambs otsvaingtothe season of the year at which it grows, and
to its high feeding value.
4. That it is an excellent food when pre-
paring lambs for winter fattening.
5. That ene acre of rape grown in drills
immediately after a crop of rye cut as a
green toed will pasture from 10 to 16 lambs
for from 2 to 21; months, and that when
grown as the sole crop of the season under
favorable conditions it will sustain a much
larger number.
6. That ordinasy grade lambs when pas-
tured on rape without any other food sup-
plement will make an average gain of 10
pounds per month.
7. That rape is admirably adapted for
growing as a cateh crop to be fed off or
plowed under as a green manure.
8. That rages as a cleaning crop is probably
without a rival in our present system of
agri culture.
9. That much care and prudence must be
exercised in pasturing animals on rape or
serious losses may follow.
10. That rape is not an exhadstive crop
on the soil when pastured off, as what has
been taken from the cultivable area is re-
turned to it and something in addition.
FERTILIZERS FOR Rarz.—Although rape
in an average season will give a fair return
from ordinary land it is unusually respon-
sive to large applications of farmyard man-
ure. In average soils, therefore, 13 18 more
than probable that the application of a com-
plete fertilizer will give good results, but in
our experience the largest increase of crop
has been obtained from the application of
nitrate of soda, and the next largest from
the application of salt.
'SEED AND SOWING.—The most suitable
time for sowing rape in nearly all parts of
Ontario is from June 25th to July 5th al-
though o. fair crop may be obtained when it
is sown earlier, and a full crop may some-
times be grown as late as the end of July.
For catch crops it should be sown as soon as
possible after the previous crop has been
removed.
The
mode of sowing and. the amount of
seed used will depend upon the object
sought. When the ground does not require
cleaning and also on muck swamps and
litmus eoils generally it may be sown broad-
cast at the rate of 3 to 5 pounds of seed per
acre. W hen sown as a catch crop or for
green manure similar amounts will suffice,
and the mode of sowing is the same. When
sown in drills from 1 to 2 pounds of seed
may be used, according to the condition of
the ground. The seed is ordinarily sown
with a turnip drill which puts in two rows
at a time. It may be obtained from any
of our leading seedsmen and usually,- at a
cost not exceeding 10 cents per pound.
Cimervaexon.--When the rough leaf has
made a good Amain the rape the cultivator
may be introduced. It should run as close
to the line of the rows as is cdnsistent with
the safety of the plants, and the cultivation
should be frequent until the tops of the rape
have made a near approach between the
rows.
When
is
en the land fairly clean no hand
h
is required, but when it is foul ib
will be necessary to go along the line of the
drill with the hand -hoe once or twice to re-
move weeds which need not of necessity cost
more than $1 per acre. No attention is
