452 THE MANGOLD-WUKZEL CROP. 



The following are the results of the investigation 



The composition of the entire bulbs would thus be 



Dr. Anderson then takes the average composition of the 

 turnip 1 for the purpose of comparing the feeding values of 

 the two crops, which, according to his analysis, stand 

 thus : 



Turnip average composition, 1'27 



Mangold Long Red variety, 1 '54 



Yellow Globe, 1'75 



Long Yellow, 1'90 



Nitrogen Total of 



Compounds. Sob'd Substances. 



7-89 

 9-44 

 9-76 

 11-57 



In this table the superior value of the mangolds is un- 

 mistakeably shown; therefore, if we take the turnip as 



1 Nitrogen compounds, 1'27 



Other constituents, 6'84 



Ash, '78 



Water, 92 "11 



100-00 



This analysis gives a lower estimate of the organic constituents of the turnip 

 than that given by Dr. Voelcker at p. 328.
