whole of the spring and summer. I can vouch from actual 
inspection for the admirable grain crops and the magnificent 
mangel-wurzel crops which the farm yielded in 1874, and which 
it promised in 1875 at the time I was over it. A mangel 
crop in two large fields which I saw in 1874 was stated to me 
to have yielded rather more than 10 cwt. per rod in several 
places where the weight had been taken; and the extremely 
even character and large size of the roots, with the enormous 
earthworks, as they seemed to be, in which the crop was stored 
all round the fields, made the story perfectly credible. The 
soil of these fields is not of first-rate quality — a rather gravelly 
loam — and it had received no manure for several years previously; 
and the crop, happily circumstanced as regards both its seed- 
time and the subsequent summer, had followed upon dressings 
of sewage alone. 
Heathcote Farm varies from a tolerably firm gravelly soil to 
a clay loam — the whole rather of second quality as regards
