Anbury ; and the Analysis of Diseased Turnips. 1 



contain much more nitrogen than roots which are highly esteemed 

 for their nutritious and fattening properties. But I must not 

 enlarge on this matter at present. As I shall probably be occu- 

 pied for several years with researches into the composition of 

 turnips, before they are in a sufficiently advanced state for publi- 

 cation, I thought it desirable to mention in the mean time that no 

 greater error can be made in practice than to estimate the feeding 

 value of turnips by the amount of nitrogen which different sorts 

 contain.
