LONG BED. 
Mangel Wurzel and Sugar Beets 
Five or six pounds will sow one acre. The seed should be planted in 
rows two feet apart and thinned to eight inches in the rows. To obtain the 
best results from this crop, use deep soil, well plowed: if the soil is thin a 
liberal application of an honest chemical fertilizer is necessary. The value 
of beets for stock feeding cannot be over-estimated. The results from their 
use are clearly shown in the improved health and condition of animals, the 
increased yield of milk in cows, and the great saving of liay. They can be 
raised at a very trifling cost, and yield immensely.
