Mangelwurzel

My copper holds seven strike bushels.

I put in three bushels of mangel wurzel cut into pieces two inches thick, and then fill the copper with water.

I draw off as much of the liquor as I want to wet pollard or meal for little pigs or fatting pigs, and the rest, roots and all, I feed the yard hogs with, and this I shall follow on till about the middle of May.

If you give boiled or steamed potatoes to pigs, they want some liquor to mix with the potatoes, for the water in which potatoes have been boiled is hurtful to any animal that drinks it.

But mix the potatoes with juice of mangel wurzel, and they make very good food for hogs of all ages.

The mangel wurzel produces a larger crop than the Swedish turnip.

Paragraphs two hundred and fifty-eight to two hundred and sixty-five, Cobbett's corn.

If you prefer bread and pudding to milk, butter, and meat, this corn will produce on your forty rods forty bushels, each weighing sixty pounds at the least, and more flour in proportion than the best white wheat.
