0s TO OT CROPS Farm’ srocx, 
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 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 by hand. Cultivate with a horse hoe. 
If by mail, add for postage at the rate of 8 cents per lb.
