THE 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 repay the extra trouble. The ground should be well 

 enriched, and the seed sown in drills 24 inches apart in light soils, 

 *nd 30 inches apart in strong rich land. Thin out the plants with a 

 hoe to 9 inches apa-'t 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.

Golden Tankard. The flesh is bright golden yellow, and in this respect differs from most other 

 varieties which cut white. The Golden Tankard is an exceedingly popular variety in Great Britain, 

 where it is considered particularly valuable on account of its nutritious and milk producing qualities. 

 Sheep have a preference for this sort over other :Mangels ; it is said that they will pick out every piece 

 c f Golden Tankard before touching others. It yields under the best cultivation 50 tons per acre. (Ste
