Miscellaneous Agricultural Seeds 



MANGEL WURZEL or STOCK BEETS 



Mangels are the most important of all root crops for feeding, and form the best winter feed for cattle and hogs. They 

 increase the flow of milk when fed to milch cows and yield enormous crops, as much as 50 tons having been grown on 

 one acre. They 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. Follow the plow with a subsoil 

 plow, and the crop will more than repay the extra trouble. The soil 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 9 inches 

 apart in the former and 12 inches apart in the latter. 6 to 8 lbs. of seed are used per acre if sown with a drill, or double 

 that quantity Broadcast.
