Valuable for Stock-Feeding. 



Mangel-Wurzels and Sugar Beets are extensively grown for stock feeding, as thev form very wliolesome and 

 nutritious food. Dairymen find them of especial value for feeding to cows, and say that they greatly increase the 

 flow of milk. Fielo Beets grow much larger than garden sorts, and must be given more room to grow. The 

 seeds should be dropped about 2 inches apart in drills 2 feet apart, and the plants thinned so that there will be 

 12 or 15 inches between them. Round-rooted varieties are best suited to light, sandy, shallow soils ; long-rooted 

 sorts to deep ones. On rich ground the yield per acre is enormous. 



Fron 6 to 8 pounds of seed are re- 

 quired to sow an acre.
