 must be taken up in good time and properly protected. When first harvested they are acrid and scour cattle, but after n 

 few months become palatable and safe. The approved types produce massive roots which, well elevated above the surface, 

 are harvested with the greatest ease and produce double the weight of Turnips to the acre, to which advantage may be 

 added the high nutritive value, the saccharine often being equal to 6 or 7 per cent, of the gross weight. The Mangold if*
