The wheat was yellowing to harvest, and promised a yield of forty-two bushels to the acre. The oats were very heavy, and the root crops looked well, especially a field of mangel-wurzel. He apportions his land to different crops after this ratio: Wheat, 120 acres; oats, 80; rye-grass and clover, 50; roots, 60. His live stock consisted of 300 sheep, 50 to 60 head of cattle, and 70 to 80 hogs.
But all the same he didn't like poor old 'Jigger' Adams being left there didn't see how he could go home and face old 'Jigger's' missus and tell her he'd come away and left 'Jigger' lying in the mud of a mangel-wurzel field. Blest if he wouldn't have a try when they were going to give Jigger a lift back.
It's either 'silkworm' or 'wardrobe. Thomas suggests 'mangel-wurzel. He says he never saw anybody who had so much the whole air of a wurzel as Archie. The indefinable elan of the wurzel was there." "Can't you really guess?" said Myra eagerly. "I don't know whether I want you to or not. Oh no, I don't want you to." "Then I withdraw 'mangel-wurzel," said Simpson gallantly.
"Are you taking rooms at Colney Hatch while you do it?" "I have thought about it. You show more understanding in that remark than in any of the others." "It doesn't require much effort of understanding to think that out. Is the onion or the mangel-wurzel to be your hero?" "You are unsympathetic. I shall not tell you any more." "Not at all. I am most interested really.
We also have a growing demand for our 'Solaris Stock Food, which we put in cheaper packages, to wholesale and retail at 50 and 75 cents. This mixture is made up of equal proportions of dried cubes of potatoes, carrots, cassava, and mangel-wurzel.
I pointed out that lack of early training had rendered me unable to distinguish between a threshing-machine and a mangel-wurzel, so he chucked that. He has now worked round to Commerce. It seems that a blighter of the name of Bickersdyke is coming here for the week-end next Saturday.
Besides beetroot for sugar, clover and sainfoin are grown, little or no barley, and neither turnips nor mangel-wurzel. The land is just now prepared for planting beetroot, by far the most important crop here, and on which I shall have much to say. Henceforth, indeed, the farming I describe may be called industrial, purely agricultural products being secondary.
I must say the little edifice looked very nice, and had been adorned with the most artistic taste by the young ladies of the Vicarage and the Hall. Mr. Goodman was "the Hall." There were bunches of neatly-arranged turnips and carrots, with potatoes, barley, oats, and mangel-wurzel, and almost every variety of fruit from the little village; and every girl had barley and wheat-ears in her straw hat.
He deserted his post in the hope of finding something to eat, and had not had a mouthful of anything but spongy turnip, and dried-up mangel-wurzel, or want-root. If he had been minding his work, he would have had a piece of good bread so good that he would have wanted more of it, whereas, when he had eaten the turnip and the beetroot, he had cause to wish he had not eaten so much!
Most bizarre, not to say extravagant, was the great cathedral, which was laid out on strange 'lines, having a huge circular chapel or pavilion of immense height in front, whose round roof was capped by a vast bulbous spire, in shape something after the pattern of a gigantic mangel-wurzel!
