MANGELS. 



Fifteen varieties of this useful vegetable were grown on this farm ; the land 

 selected for the purpose was a deep rich loam, but somewhat too moist for the 

 season. Each variety was sown with a Planet Jr. drill, in level drills 30 inches 

 apart. The first series of plots were sown on the 15th May, and were destroyed by 

 ihe same cut-worm that worked among the turnips ; the second sowing was made 

 two weeks later ; these were only slightly injured by the cut-worm. 



All were pulled on the 4th October, and are being fed to the milking cows on 

 the farm. 



The yields given were calculated from weighing the produce of three rows, 

 each 1 chain long.

EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS, 



Fourteen varieties of carrots have been tested during the past season. The first 

 series of plots were sown on 12th May and the second on the 26th May. All were 

 pulled on 24th October. The seed was sown with a Planet Junior drill in level 

 drills, 18 inches apart, in deep rich loam. The plots were on rather low land and 

 were injui-ed somewhat by heavy rains. The yields were calculated from weighing 

 the prodnco of three rovvs. each 66 feet long.
