SUGAR BEETS AND MAN- 

 GEL 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 clearly shown in the improved health and 

 condition 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 pre- 

 pared ground early in spring. Cultivate 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.
