MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR BEET.

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.

 the Danish Department of Agriculture. "The roots are remarkably uniform in

SUGAR BEETS. 



The production of Sugar Beets for their sugar is already one of our great 



national industries, and "Wisconsin is well to the fore as a beet-sugar producing state. 



Our Seed is the best procurable, and the varieties we offer excel in sugar content. Do 



not yield as heavily as Mangels, but as stock feed are much more nutritious.

 count of its high sugar content (15 to 20%) and its great milk-producing value.

The 



Hogs Do the Harvesting. Forty head of hogs and pigs may be kept without 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 can be planted either in fall or

potatoes, and plant in rows 3% feet apart and IS inches in the row. When dug in the fall and 

 stored, they should be mixed with one part of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to prevent shrink-
