OLDS’ MANGELS 
Mangels are highly nutritious and easily stored for winter. Greatly relished by all live 
stock and poultry. They are as digestible as grain; no silo is required. Mangels will save 
one-half the grain feed without reducing the milk yield. One ounce of seed will sow 75 to 100 
feet of drill; 6 pounds an acre. 
Mangels for winter storage should be planted 
about corn planting time. Make the rows about 
20 inches apart for hand cultivation or three to four 
feet apart for horse cultivation. Thin to about 
four to six inches apart in the row. For larger 
amounts than quoted, see Market Gardeners’ 
Wholesale Price List7 page 39.

BEETS IN SUCCESSION. 
Do not depend on one planting for a supply all through 
the summer and fall. Some varieties are sweet and tender 
after they have grown to large size but the sweetest and 
most delicious of all are the small beets—just big enough to 
use. Have more coming on all the time.
