Money Makers for Stockmen and Poultrymen 
Golden Tankard 
MANGEL WURZEL 
Mangel Wurzel or stock beets make splendid * feed for cattle, 
hogs, sheep and poultry, increasing the milk flow of dairy cows, 
keeping stock and poultry in more healthy condition throughout the 
winter months, when other green feeds are not readily available. 
The yield is heavier than from turnips and rutabagas and the feed¬ 
ing value is higher; combined with grain it is worth almost as much, 
pound for pound, as grain as it aids digestion and assimilation. 
Plant early in the spring about 2 weeks before the last frost; 
5 to 8 pounds of seed per acre in rows 24 inches apart. Rather flat- 
lying fairly heavy soil, that has been well fertilized and plowed as 
deeply as possible is best. Thin to 12 to 15 inches apart when the 
plants are 4 to 6 inches tall. Cultivate frequently and keep free 
of weeds. If you wish to begin feeding early in the fall pull 2 or 3 
days supply at a time. Before freezing weather harvest the re¬ 
mainder of the crop and remove the tops but do not cut the top of 
the beets. Pile about a ton in a place and cover with 5 or 6 inches 
of earth, leaving a small place on top of the pile open except to 
cover with tops (this is for ventilation). Later when cold weather 
comes cover all over with more earth to prevent freezing, or store 
in a cellar. 
Mangel Wurzels usually contain 5 to 7 per cent sugar and on 
good soil you should grow 25 to 50 tons per acre.
