Greatest Cattle and Poultry Food 
Cuts Your Feed Bill in Half 
One ounce of seed to 100 feet of row; 5 or 6 lbs. per acre. 
Mangels and Sugar Beets are very important crops, furnish¬ 
ing a tremendous yield per acre of a very healthful and nu¬ 
tritious food that is greatly relished by all kinds of livestock. 
Will keep cattle in perfect physical condition and increase 
the flow of milk. As a substitute for green feed for poultry, 
during the winter months, they are very valuable and always 
increase egg production. 
Yields of 25 to 35 tons per acre are common, and as high 
as 75 to 80 tons have been reported. The seed should be 
sown thinly in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, and when plants are about 3 inches 
high thin out to stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the row. Harvest before 
frost and store in pits outdoors or in a dry, frost-proof cellar.

Corn Salad or Fetticus ; 
This is a hardy winter salad, the leaves being served like lettuce during the. 
cool fall and early winter months. It is used also for garnishing meat dishes in 
the same manner as parsley, and can be cooked like spinach. The seed should’ 
be sown thinly in drills during August or September, to supply fresh leaves dur¬ 
ing the cool fall and winter months. It is quite hardy, but in the Northern 
States, after cool weather sets in, it should be protected by a thin mulch of straw: 
or leaves. One ounce will plant 40 feet of row. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 40c;
