...MANGELS... 



TpHE best soil for Mangels is loose, friable loam and deep plowing. 

 ' If expedient follow the plow with a subsoil plow, and the crop will 

 more than repa}' the extra trouble. The ground should be well en- 

 riched 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 hce to 

 \) inches apart in the former, and 12 inches apart in the latter. Six to 8 

 pounds of seed are used per acre if sown with a drill, or double that 

 quantity if sown by hand. Cultivate with a horse hoe.

 varieties which cut white. The Golden Tankard is an exceedingly popular variety in Great Brit-
