one acre. 
The Cut and Come Again Spinach Beet 
Provides “Greens” from Early Spring Until Frost 
The outside leaves of Swiss Chard are used as “boiling 
greens” and are excellent for this purpose. They closely re¬ 
semble spinach in flavor, but are declared by connoisseurs to 
be even finer. The large white stalks are used like aspara¬ 
gus; they are boiled and served in melted butter or milk 
dressing and are fully as delicious as asparagus. Swiss Chard 
grows well even during hot weather when spinach fails.

282 Swiss Chard Lucullus 
The value of Sugar Beets and Mangels for stock 
feeding is clearly seen in the improved health and 
condition of the animals, the increased flow and 
quality of milk from cows, and the saving in fod¬ 
der. They yield enormously and can be grown at 
trifling cost. Everyone who keeps even one cow 
should grow a patch of either Mangels or Sugar 
Beets for winter feed. They make excellent and 
rich feed for poultry.
