Chapter XXI: Appendix (3)

p. 192, The nutritive equivalent ... one pound of hay: as printed in
the source document. The comparison between hay and potatoes is off by
a factor 100 (see also the table on page 126).

p. 216, table: the addition results in 1000.4, not in exactly 1000.

p. 217 and p. 241: The poem is from The Farmer’s Boy by Robert
Bloomfield (1800).

p. 329, crooked Rhine: this should read Crooked Rhine, Crooked being
part of the river’s name (Kromme Rijn).

p. 330, Commissions’ cheese: Commission’s cheese would have been a
more accurate translation.

p. 337, ... as appears in the press: probably an error for ... as
appears in the cut (or similar).

p. 347, 536,834,830 pounds: the amount appears to be a factor 10 too
high.

p. 353, tournesol: the colouring agent is more commonly called
turnsole.

p. 401, table on maintenance requirements: the text and the table
mention different amounts of foodstuffs; the calculation from daily to
total use of turnips seems to be mistaken.

Changes made:

Footnotes and illustrations have bee moved out of text paragraphs;
some tables have been re-aranged.

Non-English words have not been corrected, unless listed below.

Some obvious minor typographical and punctuation errors have been
corrected silently.

The Table of Contents was not present in the source document, and has
been created for this e-text.

The source document contained two illustrations each numbered Fig. 56,
Fig. 57 and Fig. 58. The first occurrences of these and the references
thereto have been renumbered Fig. 56a, Fig. 57a and Fig. 58a, the
second instances and references thereto Fig. 56b, Fig. 57b and Fig.
58b.

In some places the ditto sign (in this book “) has been replaced by
the dittoed text.

p. 243: “ removed from before The evening’s and morning’s milk
