Since the introduction of the Danish varieties the use of Sugar Beet 
for Dairy Cattle has been yearly on the increase. The Danish Beet is 
much larger than the old Sugar varieties and not being so "rooty " can 
be as easily harvested as Mangel, and containing a larger amount of 
sacchanne matter, are thus more nutritious. Cultivate the same at 
Mangel. 
When ordered by mail, add 5c. per lb. and 2c. per i lb. I 
for postage. | 
EWING'S GLA.NT QUEEN OF THE DANES— This " Royal " 
variety is without doubt the best of all the Red Danish 
Sugar Beets, both in size and nutritive value, and will grow 
nearly as heavy a crop as Mangel. In shape it is something

RAPE — FR. NAVETTE 
BROAD LEAVED ESSEX— Rape is of easy culture, and can 
either be sown at the rate of 2 lbs. per acre, in driOs, and 
cultivated in the same way as Turnips, or may be sown 
broadcast (but only when the land is clean), at the rate of 
5 lbs. of seed to the acre. In order to get a full paying 
result in either case, the land should be well manured. It 
can be sown any time in June or early in July, so that its 
advantages as a " catch " crop are apparent. The 
best way is to feed it off the fields, with sheep or hogs, and 
there is nothing that will fatten lambs in the fall so well 
and so cheaply as Rape will. lb. 10c. ; in lots of 10 lbs. 90c. 
By mail, add 5 cents per lb. for Canadian postage.
