MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR BEET. 



Mangels make excellent winter feed for cattle, producing on 



good soil from 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre. Sow in June at 



the rate of 5 lbs. per acre, in drills 2 feet apart, and thin out to 



9 inches in the rows. Store in barns before freezing -weather 



sets in, for use during the "winter. 



Sugar beets also are nice feed for milch cows, being very 



rich in saccharine, which increases the quantity and quality of 



the milk.

GOLDEN TANKARD MANGEL. 



CURBIE'S IMPROVED 

 MAMMOTH LONG 

 BED MANGEL. 



Yield 1,200 to 1,500 Bushels per Acre. 



ARTICHOKE— IMPROVED WHITE FRENCH. 



Produce 1,500 Bushels Per Acre. Easily Grown. Great Disease Preventers. The 



IHogs Do the Harvesting. 

 Their wonderful productiveness and the ease with which they can be produced is 

 always a surprise to those who cultivate them the first time. A. C. Williams, of 

 Iowa, a very promii >nt breeder of Poland Chinas in large numbers, says: "The keep of my hogs when the ground is not 

 frozen, is Blue Grass, Clover and A. ;ichokes. Forty head of hogs and pigs may be kept withopt other food on an acre of 

 Artichokes from the time frost is out of the ground until they grow again, and from October 1st until the ground freezes 

 solid. They produce more hog foo^ per acre than ^ny crop I am acquainted with, and the hogs will 

 harvest the crop themselves. Hogs taken from Artichokes to Bl ,_ ? Grass and Clover will not root up 

 the sod, as they are free from intestinal worms, constipation, indigestion and fever, caused by feed- 

 ing corn in winter. They can be planted either in fa 1 or spring, for 

 while in the ground freezing and thawing does not hurt them. Cut 

 to one eye like potatoes, and plant in rows 3% feet apart and 18 

 inches in the row. The second year break up the ground as for 

 corn, after which the plants will come up thick all over the surface, 

 run through each way with a cultivator when a few inches high, 

 putting them in hills like corn. If left too thick they will not yield. 

 (When dug in the fall and stored they should be mixed with one part 

 of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to prevent 

 shrinking. Per peck 50c; per bushel $1.50; 

 per three bushel lots, sufficient for one acre, 

 $4.00. By express or freight only.
