ADAPTABILITY OF SOiiS--The most suit-
able soils tor growing rape erre fairly moist,
free -working loams, rich -in organic matter.
Black loams 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 magnifi-
cent crops, and the rape' grown upon there
tends to reduce the excess of organic matter
which they contain. Soils that 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 i' THE ROTATION.—AS rape is an
excellent cleaning crop when grown in drills
and cultivated, it may, with much 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 autumn 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 THE SOM.—The prep-
aration of the soil will to some 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. • When the land requires cleaning
autumn cultivation followed by frequent
stirring of the soil in the spring will he
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
a 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 fall and spring until the first of June.
After the rye in either case the land is at
once prepared . for rape. The preparation
consists in plowing carefully, rolling as soon
as plowed, harrowing once a week and mak-
ing the land into drills from 22 to 24 inches
apart just before sowing the rape.' When
raps is grown as a catch -crop it may be
sown broadcast or in drills after the removal
of the previous crop. \% 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.
FERTILIZERS ron RAPE.—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, it is more
than probable that the applid�ation 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 a 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
humus soils generally it may be sown broad-
cast at the` rate of 3 to 5 pounds of seed per
acre. When = 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 hop -raising.

DEATH IN TILE MIDST OF A WALTZ.
In Wellington the whole business section

Many "ot the best people of the city were
gathered there for a night of enjoyment.
Suddenly, in the midst of a waltz, the build-

Tuesday—For to make the condition of
Our souls such as we would have it to be,
we must suppose them all knowing, even in
their natural simplicity and purity. By
these means they had been such, being free
from the prison of the body, as well before
they entered into it, as we hope they shall
be after they are gone out of it. And from
this knowledge it should follow that they
should remember being got in the body, as
Plato said, " That what we learn is no
other than a remembrance of what we
knew before," a thing which every one by
experience -may maintain to be false. For.
asmuch, in the first place, as that we do
not justly remember anything but what we
have been taught ; and that if the memory
did purely perform its office, it would at
least suggest to us something more than
what we have learned. Secondly, that
which she anew being in her purity was a
true knowledge, knowing things as they
are by her divine intelligence : whereas
here we make her receive falsehood and
vice, whet' we instruct "her ; wherein she
cannot employ her reminiscence, that image
and conception having never been planted
in her.—[Montaigne.
Wednesday—Great variety of opinion
there hath been amongst the ancient philos-
ophers touching the definition of the soul.
Thales' was, that it a nature without re-
pose ; Asclepiades, that it is an exercita-
tion of sense ; Hesio 1, that it is a thing corn -
posed of earth and water; Parmenides holds,
of earth and fire ; Galen, that it is heat ;
Hipp cerates, that it is a spirit difll: ed
through the body ; some others hc,ve held it
to be light ; Plato saith, 'tis a substance
morving itself ; after cometh Aristotle
(whom the author here reproveth) and gceth
a degree farther, and saith it is everl,•eaeia,
that is, that -Which naturally mal.os the body
t: move. But this definition is as rigid as
any of the other ; for this tells us not what -
the essence, origin, or nature cf the soul is,
but only marks an effect of it, and therefore
signifieth no more than if he had said that
it is angelus hominus, or an intelligence that
moveth man, as he supposed those other to
do the heavens—[Sir Thomas L'ro„-ne.
Thursday—

But he that hides a dark soul, and foul
thoughts,
Benighted walks under the midday sun ;
Himself is his own dungeon.
