Mangels are the most important of all root crops for feeding, and may be grown in any part of the American continent on fairly 
good farm land ; all that is necessary is good cultivation. 
The best soil for Mangels is loose friable loam and deep plowing. 
If expedient, follow the plow with a subsoil plow, and the crop 
will more than repay the extra trouble. The ground should be well enriched, and the seed sown in May in drills 24 inches apart in light 
soils, and 30 inches apart in strong, rich land ; thin out the plants with a hoe to g inches apart in the former and 12 inches apart in the 
Jatter. 
6 to 8 lbs. of seed are used per acre if sown with a drill, or double that quantity by hand. Cultivate witk a horse hoe.

I raised over 100 tons of your From 5 lbs. of your Colossal 
Colossal Long Red Mangel on 2 Long Red Mangel I raised 944 
acres. In many cases three bushels. One mangel weighed 
weighed over 100 lbs., the best 221bs., one 21 Ibs. and over 300 of 
them 13 1bs each. Thoroughl 
rollin2 ground after planting is 
one of the great secrets of success.
