MANGEL WURZEL 
or STOCK BEET 
See page 2 for information regarding days to maturity. 
Practically All of the High Milk Production Records in Contests 
Are Made with Mangel JFurzel as Part of the Ration, in Some. Cases as 
High as 100 Lbs. Daily Being Fed. 
Splendid feed for cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, keeping stock 
and poultry in healthy condition throughout the winter months, when 
other green feeds are not readily available. Combined with grain it 
is worth almost as much, pound for pound, as grain as it aids diges¬ 
tion and assimilation. Do not feed whole to cattle. Roots should be 
shredded or sliced rather fine. 
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.
