These beets yield enormously, sometimes 

 making- fifteen tons per acre, and are very 

 nutritious and fattening-, not only improv- 

 ing- the health and g-eneral condition of 

 stock, but greatly increasing- both the 

 quantity and quality of milk in cows. 

 They are much superior in their feeding- 

 qualities to Turnips, and are a much surer 

 and larg-er yielding- crop. Every farmer 

 should g:ro-w them.

 the Golden Tankard gro-ws -well above the 

 g-round, the White French gro-ws partly in

 so by planting- the three varieties and

 plant is entirely hardy in well-drained soil 

 and can be g-rown easily from seed planted 

 during- the Summer and Fall months. The 

 plants are usually cut off for use when the 

 leaves are six inches or more in length, but 

 with the fine curled varieties the leaves 

 can be g-athered for use when of good 

 size. The sweetness and flavor of these 

 greens are improved by freezing- weather.
