THE CHIRK CASTLE MANGEL., 
Our attention was first called to this prodig- 
ious variety a few years since, while visiting 
Scotland. We were at first inclined to doubt the 
statements of the Scotch farmers regarding the 
enormous weights and yields of this variety, but 
on our return to Scotland, after visiting the conti- 
nent, six weeks Jater, we found them harvesting 
the crops, and to our astonishment these state- 
ments were fully verified. We saw hundreds of 
specimens taken from the field, weighing over 
sixty lbs. each, while whole crops averaged thirty- 
eight to forty lbs. per root, producing a yield of 
over sixtytonstotheacre. Weimmediately secured 
seed stock and arranged with an English grower 
to plant it. The length is about the same as 
Carter’s Mammoth Long Red, but itis remarkable 
for its massive shape and broad shoulders, its diam- 
eter being more than twice as great, and its weight 
very much heavier than this celebrated variety. 
The flesh is red, of very fine texture and quality, 
containing less water and more sugar than any 
other m&angel, making it more nutritious and 
milk-producing, enabling the Scotch Dairy farm- 
ers to obtain a higher price per gallon for milk 
from cows fed on this mangel. Their sheep also 
thrive better when fed on this variety, picking 
out pieces of it in preference to other kinds 
when feeding. We consider this variety by far 
the most valuable and profitable of all the 
stock-feeding beets yetintroduced. Perpkt., 10c.;
