May's Mangel Wurzels and Sugar Beets 
ANY LAND that tvill grow a good crop of corn will produce a good crop of Mangels or Sugar Beets. No crop pays the tarmer and stock- 
L 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.
