Culture. — As all Mangels require a deep soil in order 

 to grow well, plow and subsoil at least a foot to eighteen 

 inches, and apply plenty of rich stable or Thorburn's Com- 

 plete Manure. Sow in Mayor June (4 to 5 lbs. to the acre), 

 in rows eighteen inches to two feet apart, and thin to eight 

 inches in the rows. Young plants may be transplanted to 

 fill up vacancies. Sow in addition, when the plants are 

 three to four inches high, at the rate of 200 lbs. Complete 

 Manure, 200 lbs. bone flour, and 400 lbs. salt, per acre. As soon as frost occurs, dig the crop. But in
