CURRIE'S IMPROVED 

 MAMMOTH LONG 

 RED MANGEL. 



MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR BEET. 



Mangels make excellent winter feed for cattle, producing 

 on good 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 freez- 

 ing weather sets in, for use during the winter. 



Sugar beets also are nice feed for milch cows, being very 

 rich in saccharine, which increases the quantity and quality 

 of the milk. 



Carrie's Improved Mammoth Long Red — An exceptionally 

 large-growing variety, and of finest quality, grown from 

 a selection of the most perfect and largest specimens year

 they are easily harvested. Specimens sometimes weigh

Yield 1,300 to 1,500 Bushels per Acre. 



Produce 1,500 Bushels Per Acre. 



The Hogs 



Easily Grown. Great Disease Preventers. 

 Do the Harvesting. 



Their wonderful productiveness' and the ease with which they can be produced is al- 

 ways a surprise to those who cultivate them the first time. A. C. Williams, of Iowa, a 

 very prominent breeder of Poland Chinas 111 large numbers, says: "The keep of my hogs when the ground is not frozen, is Blue 

 Grass, Clover and Artichokes. 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 produce more 

 hog food per acre than any crop I am acquainted with, and the hogs will harvest the crop themselves. Hogs taken from Arti- 

 chokes to Blue Grass and Clover will not root up the sod. as they are free from intestinal 

 worms, constipation, indigestion and fever, caused by feeding corn in winter. They can be plant- 

 ed either in fall or spring, for while in the ground freezing and thawing does not hurt them. 

 Cut to one eye like potatoes, and plant in rows 3y 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. 



The second year break up -the ground as for corn, after which the 

 plants will come up thick all over the surface, run through each 

 way with a cultivator when a few inches high, putting them in 

 hills like corn. If leJt too thick they will not yield. When dug 

 in the fall and stored they should be mixed 

 with one part of soil to ten parts of Arti- 

 chokes, to prevent shrinking. Per peck 50c; 

 per bushel $1.50; per three bushel lots, suffi- 

 cient for one acre, $4.00.
