SUGAR BEETS FEEDING. 
THE QBEAT VALUE OP SUQAB BEETS POB 
STOCK PEESIITQ cannot be overestimated, analysis 
having demonstrated the fact that 400 pounds of 
Sugar Beets are equivalent to 100 pounds of the 
best hay. They are not as heavy yielders as Man- 
gels, but contain a much larger percentage of sac- 
charine matter. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to the acre

The Cheapest Food For All Live Stock. 
Any land that will grow a good crop of corn will 
produce a good crop of Mangels or Sugar Beets. No 
crop pays the farmer and stock raiser better. 800 to 
1,000 bushels to the acre is an ordinary yield, while 
with good culture double this quantity can be grown. 
They make the cheapest of foods for all kinds of live 
stock, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, etc. Dairy- 
men claim that a bushel of Mangels and a bushel of corn 
are worth more than two bushels of corn for feeding.
