SUGAR BEETS AND MAN= 

 GEL 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 wonderful, and are clearly 

 shown in the improved health and condition of ani- 

 mals, 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.
