ROOT CROPS FOR STOCK rEEDING. 



BEETS-MANGEL 

 WURZEL AND SUGAR. 



Long Red Mangel. Yellow Fleshed Golden Tankard, 



The following varieties are extensively grown for feeding 

 stock, and are excellent food to increase the fiow of milk. As 

 they grow much larg'^r than the varieties cultivated for table 

 use, they require more room, and should be sown in drills 

 iwo feet apart. The seeds should be dropped about two 

 inches apart in the drills, and, when strong enough, thinned 

 out to twelve or fifteen inches in the row. The long varieties 

 are best suited to a deep soil, and the globe sorts succeed 

 better than the low sorts on sandy soil. 



Rich soil is essential to success, and if provided, enormous 

 quantities per acre can be raised of these useful products. 



Six to eight pounds of seed will sow one acre.
