A REVELATION AMONG MANGELS. 



CULTURE. The best results are obtained on a deep, rich sandy loam, which should bo well nreDarel 

 and thoroughly enriched. ' 



Seed should be sown as soon as g-round is nicely settled, in drills 

 thirty inches a|)art. Cultivate well when young and thin out the plants 

 to one foot apart in the row. If these thinnings are care- 

 fully handled and the larger leaves cut off, they can be reset 

 to fill vacancies, and will make the largest roots. Care 

 should be taken in harvesting not to break or bruise the 

 roots, as it hastens their decay. 



To preserve mangels during the winter store them 

 cool cellar similar to potatoes, or bury them in pits 

 in a dry situation and cover them with a light cover- 

 ing of straw, then a covering of boards, and lastly a 

 a goodly covering of soil to protect them in sevei-e 

 and wet weather. 



I would particularly recommend that those 

 interested in growing roots for stock feeding 

 send to the United States Department of 

 Agriculture. Washington, D. C., for a free copy 

 of Bulletin No. 11. giving the analysis of 

 American feeding stuffs.

THE GREATEST MANGEL OF THE CENTURY. 



Buckbee's Mastodon, 



Without Doubt the Greatest Creation in Mangels Ever 

 ____________ Placed Before The Public. 



THE LARGEST, HEAVIEST AND MOST PROFITABLE MANGEL OFFERED. 



Buckbee's Mastodon is enormously, wonderfully productive. Its yield is exceedingly fabulous : 1..500 to l.SOO bushels per acre is 

 nothing uncommon on good soil, and many experimental stations and trial tests the past year have produced at the rate of 2. ()()() to 

 ■.'.5IKI bushels per aci'e. We took many hundreds "of specimens from our lields weighing over 60 pounds each, and many reaching the 

 ~i'iis:iti(inal weielit of 75 ))ounds and over. Could anything bemoi'e marvelous than this truly wonderful Mangel. 



J n length Buckbee's Mastodon is about the same as Buckbee's Mammoth Long Red Mangel, but it is particularly remarkable for 

 its bundsonie shaiie and broad shoulders, its diameter being srreater and its weight very much heavier. 



'The flesh is red. of very fine texture and (juality. containing less water and more sugar than any other mangel, except it be New 

 Jmiierial Sugar, malciiig it more nutritious and.milk producing. Sheep and other stock also thrive better when fed on it. picking out 

 l)ieces of it in pi-eference to other kinds. 



Prominent Mangel authorities consider Buckbee's Mastodon by far the most valuable and i)rofltable of all stock-feeding b( cts. 

 P!eas(M-emenibor that I own and control the entire stock of this variety. It is such a shy seeder that the seed cannot be irro« n as 

 cheaply as other Manseis. yet being desii-ous of placing this grand Mangel at price which is within I'each of all. I offer it at the fol- 

 lowiiic'evi-ODtionnllv low values. Oz. lb. '20c. lb. 35e. lb. (;0c. .t lbs s2 .'iO. prena'ld
