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 en- 
riched, 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 
Ibs. of seed are used per acre if sown 
with a drill, or double that quantity

IMPORTANT. A change of Seed Oats is necessary and the seed should be renewed at least every second or third year. 
Oats grown on the same soil year after year deteriorate rapidly and soon become light, chaffy and unprofitable. 
CLYDESDALE 
The Most Popular High-Grade White Oat 
Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly gained in popularity, 
and today it is the most popular High Grade White Oat in the United States. The ultimate 
: financial benefit accruing to the American farmers by the annual dis- 
tribution of several thousand bushels of Clydesdale Oat cannot be 
overestimated. These Oats weigh considerably more per measure bushel 
than any other variety, so that the produce is worth for seed pur- 
poses at least double the market value of ordinary Oats. No other 
Oat can show such a record—75 to 100 bushels per acre, and double 
the usual quantity of straw. Another most important advantage of 
: - Clydesdale Oat to the farmer is the fact that they 
have been thoroughly cleaned by the latest and most 
improved machinery, and are. absolutely free from 
weed seeds. Sow 3 bushels per acre. Price, peck, $1.10; 
standard bushel of 32 Ibs., $3.00.

100 bushels per acre, according to soil conditions.
