Sugar Beets and Mangels 
Sow 7 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Culture. Mangels require a deep, rich soil, the richer tha bett r. 
Sow from April to October in rows 18 inches to 2 feet apart. If me¬ 
dium sized Mangels wanted, thin to 8 to 10 inches apart in the ro . 
If larger size desired, 12 to 14 inches apart and cultivate same as 
Sugar Beets. 
As the tending value of Sugar Beets and Mangel Wur- 
zels becomes better known the acreage devoted to them 
is increased. They are the cheapest, most important, 
and profitable root crop for stock feeding purposes as 
has been proven by many State Experimental Stations 
and by thousands of prosperous dairymen and stock 
growers, who feed them largely. The value of these for 
stock feeding cannot be over-estimated. The results from 
their use are wonderful, as is clearly shown in the im¬ 
proved health and condition of the animals to which 
they are fed, the increased yield of milk in the cows, and 
the great saving of hay. Write for prices in large quan¬ 
tities. 
Giant Feeding Half Sugar 
Mangel 
By careful breeding there has been devel¬ 
oped a Half Sugar Beet and Mangel, 
which is more valuable 
for feeding purposes 
than the old sort. This 
magnificent Mangel 
Wurzel Beet, while pro¬ 
ducing nearly as large 
a yield of roots as the 
most prolific Mangel, 
supplies a much higher 
nutritive value, the 
roots for feeding pur¬ 
poses being more valu¬ 
able, pound for pound, 
than those of the best 
strains of sugar beets, 
and the yield, under 
favorable conditions, 
being nearly double. 
The roots grow partly 
out of the ground, and 
because of this, and 
their shape, the crop 
can be easily harvested. 
We can recommend this 
as one of the very best for 
feeding purposes, and are 
certain those who grow it 
will be more than pleased 
with results. Postpaid,
