WhittingUm* 8 Treatise on the new Anglo-French Patent, 

 with Process and Proceeds for and from, Mangold 

 Wurzel Kelly and Co., 19, 20, and 21, Old Boswell 

 Court, Temple Bar. 



This is an advertisement of the estimated profits of the 

 manufacture of spirits from Mangold Wurzel. These 

 hinge upon the possibility of purchasing the roots at 1 Os. a 

 ton, with liberty to take back the pulp after all ferment- 

 able matter has been extracted. We should not be dis- 

 posed to sell Mangold Wurzel on those terms, and do 

 not believe that they could be profitably grown at such 

 a price unless possibly close to the distillery, where the 

 pulp may be consumed almost without expense of 

 carriage. We extract a passage in which the author 

 refers to his experience of Mangold Wurzel consumed 

 in early autumn : 



u It is well known that — excepting only swine, which 

 thrive and fatten amazingly on Mangold only, given at 

 any season — animals do not thrive, but waste, if fed 

 largely on raw Mangold before Christmas ; were it 

 otherwise, this bulb would be much more extensively 

 grown, &c. ; as it is, the Duke of Bedford and others 

 parboil or steam, and so use beneficially in quantity, 

 and early, without waiting for fermentation, &c, by 

 stacking and process of time, to remove the deleterious 

 properties ; effects whereof I have proved by feeding 

 a cow-team largely and solely thereon excepting some 

 hay ; the cows lost flesh, some were paralysed, some 

 ■died; so I sent the coatings of their stomachs, 

 which flaked off quite black, to Mr. Gibbs, the Honorary 

 Secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society, and to 

 Mr. Sewell, of the Royal Veterinary College, who pro- 

 nounced the results above referred to as having arisen 

 from the before-recited causes. I have kept small bulb 

 Mangolds till Midsummer, shipped them in the spring 

 with live-stock to India and Australia, finding them then 

 to be better and keep longer than Swedes. I have made 

 some very fine and fat sheep in the spring, fed only on 

 Mangold and hay. The process of maceration and 

 extraction will enable Mangold to be used safely, cheaply, 

 and beneficially at all seasons and for all feeding pur- 

 pose, besides saving time, trouble, and cost to* many 

 growers and consumers,'' 





Calendar of Operations. 



AUGUST. 



North Hants. — With fine weather the prospect of a £ood 

 and abundant harvest in this district is favourable, although 

 reaping will not be general until the middle of August is passed, 

 and hence conclusions may be drawn too early as to the probable 

 yield. On the clay soils the Wheat is heavy and thick on the 

 ground. On the light chalk hills the plant is deficient on some 

 farms, and when this occurs the crop will be much under an 

 average. Blight and a deficiency in the ear is visible to some 

 extent, but these, as usual, are much exaggerated at the markets. 

 All kinds of spring corn are more than usually promising, and 

 will come to harvest as early as Wheat. Turnips are growing 

 too rapidly for the hoers, and when fine weather comes much 

 hoeing will remain to be done when the men are required in the 

 (u possible) more important operations of the harve It is to 

 be hoped that arrangement has been made to ensure a due number 

 of workmen to meet the emergency when tine weather returns. 

 iNo old hay is left, and the first cut of new (if we except Sainfoin, 

 which has this season cut up splendidly) is very deficient in 

 nreadth and bulk. The second cut will doubtless be an abun- 

 dant one. If we except a solitary patch here and there, where 

 incipient signs of the disease are visible, the Potato is healthy
