SUGAR BEETS AND MANGEL 

 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 clear- 

 ly shown in the improved health and condi- 

 tion of animals, 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. Culti- 

 vate 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.
