Sugar Beets are not as heavy yielders as the Mangels but are of superior quality, containing a larger 
amount of sugar. They are excellent for feeding cows, improving wonderfully the quality and quan¬ 
tity of the milk. Sugar Beets require deep, well enriched soil. The seed should be sown in drills 2 to 
2% feet apart, and covered 1 to 114 inches deep, any time during April, May or June. Thin the plants 
carefully to stand 8 inches apart in the row. 
Mangel Wurzel—Yellow Globe 
Klein Wanzlebener— Has rather long 
slender root, very rich in sugar; will 
yield, under average conditions, 16 
tons to the acre. All stockmen know 
that sugar makes fat, and will real¬ 
ize its value as a stock food. 80 
days. Pkt., 5c; 14 -lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 
5 lbs., $2.75; 10 lbs., $5.10. 
Half Sugar and Half Mangel 
For Stock Feeding 
The ground should be thoroughly 
prepared and made firm and mellow, 
same as for Mangels. Seeding and cul¬ 
tivation should be continued in much 
the same manner except that they 
should be thinned out 6 to 8 inches in 
the row. The Giant Feeding Sugar 
Beets or Half Sugar Mangels are espe¬ 
cially valuable for feeding stock as 
they give a feed of much greater nu¬ 
tritive value than Mangels.

THE FOUR BEST MANGELS FOR STOCK FEEDING 
Root crops are a great necessity for all kinds of stock, also chickens. Root feeding gives tissue 
building substance to the body, and acts as a tonic, keeping the digestive organs in a healthy condi¬ 
tion Root crops should be regularly fed to all stock. Results will show in appearance, also in in¬ 
creased weight, and will enrich and increase the milk. The ground should be thoroughly prepared, and 
made firm and’ mellow. Sow in April and May in drills 2 to 3 feet apart. When 4 to 5 inches high 
thin to 12 to 15 inches apart. 
Mammoth Long Red- —This variety produces the 
largest yield of any kind of Mangel. The qual¬ 
ity of the roots for feeding is high. The roots 
grow very large and keep well. They are quite 
long, light red in color and grow well out of the 
ground so are easily harvested. Pkt., 5c; %-lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.75; 10 lbs., $5.10. 
Danish Sludstrup — Is considered the best of all 
Mangels. In color it is reddish-yellow. It con¬ 
tains the largest per cent of nutriment found in 
any sort. It is very hardy, grows well above 
the ground and is easily pulled. Pkt., 5c; 14-lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.75; 10 lbs., $5.10.
