May's Mangel Wurzels and Sugar Beets

. 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 food for all kinds of live stock, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, etc.

MANGEL 
THIS NEW MANGEL is white

of its wonderful yield and excel-

profitable mangels for stock feed-

has proven to be especially val- 
uable, increasing the milk supply 
and on account of its sugary qual- 
ity gives the milk a fine rich 
flavor. We feel positive that 
any one who gives this variety 
a trial and grows it with care will 
be pleased with the crop. Pack-
