Mangels are the most important of all root crops for feeding, and may 
be grown on any part of the American continent on fairly good farm land ; 
all that isnecessary is a little cultivation. 
sively in America as they should be, considering how well our climate and 
soil are adapted to their culture, when we take into account our special 
necessities arising from our long, dry summers, which diminish the yield of 
the hay and other fodder crops, as well as our long winter feeding season. 
Many have the idea that it is dificult to protect such crops during the win- 
ter, but when it is considered that in Canada they are much more largely 
grown than in the United States, and that they can be ‘‘pitted” with safety 
even in the most rigorous winter, it will be readily seen that this idea is

repay theextra trouble. The ground should be well enriched, and the seed 
sown in drills 24 inches apart in light soils, and 30 inches apart in strong, 
rich land. Thin out the plants with a hoe to 9 inches apart in the former, 
and 12 inches apart in the latter. 6 to 8 pounds of seed are used per acre 
if sown with a drill, or double that quantity if sown by hand.

Tankard is an exceedingly popular variety in Great Britain, where it is 
considered particularly vaiuable on account of its nutritious and milk- 
producing qualities. Sheep have a preference for this sort over other 
Mangles ; it is said that they will pick out every piece of Golden Tankard
