SUGAR BEETS AND 

 MANGEL WURZEL 



The following varieties are valuable for stock 

 feeding. We can honestly urge our friends to 

 plant them in quantity ; they give immense crops, 

 are easily raised, harvested, and kept through the 

 winter. The results from their use are wonder- 

 ful, and are clearly shown in the improved health 

 and condition of animals, the increased yield of 

 milk in cows, and the great saving in hay and 

 corn. Sow in drills 30 inches apart, on rich, well 

 prepared ground early in spring. Cultivate well 

 and thin to 8 inches in the row. For winter, 

 store in pits or cellar as soon as heavy frost is 

 feared. From four to six pounds will sow an 

 acre.
