Mangold Wurzel Leaves. — This experiment was insti" 

 tuted for the purpose of testing an opinion promulgated 

 by tome, viz., that by cutting off the tops of Mangold 

 War in the latter part of summer, and planting a row 

 of Cabbages in each alley or interval, the produce of the 

 IfangoM roots would be very little diminished, whilst, 

 without trenching on the succeeding corn crop, a good 

 crop of Cabbages would be obtained. The results of 

 this trial were as follow, viz. : — 



Roots per statute

 its merits h:. been fully proved, and its success established. 



The machine is made to cut the breadtli of 42, 30, 20, an 

 15 incln respectively, is exceedingly durable, easily mannge^ 

 and n ited to cut t<- the length required. The execution of the 

 work is far superior to what may be attained by the most skilful 

 mower, while at the same time a great saving of labour is effecte 



the turf much improved. By the largest machine a Scotck 

 acre may he mowed, rolled, and the Grass collected in one hour. ; 



A. S. and gojf have much pleasure in stating that they have 



!e con terable improvements in their 15- inch or hand 



machine this year, by which the draught is considerably lessened. 



Tins machine combines all the merits and advantages of the 



irger machii j with firm and secure construction, and is 



admirably adapted for borders and for lawns of no great extent. 



A xandrk Shank and Son also respectfully solicit notice 

 to "FJ uing's Weeding or Salting Machine'' for desti iny
