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 
2V2 feet apart, and covered 1 to iy 2 inches deep, any time during April, May or June. Thin the plants 
carefully to stand 8 inches apart in the row.

beet for sugar manufacture; valuable 
for stock feeding. Roots medium 
large; 12 to 15 inches long, 3 y 2 to 4 
inches at shoulder, tapered; white

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 to8 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. 
Giant Half Sugar, Rose Top —Roots 
long oval, tapered; grayish-white 
with rose-colored shoulder; flesh 
white, rich in sugar. Pkt., 5c; %-lb., 
20c; lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.40.

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; *4-lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.50. 
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 easly pulled. Pkt., 5c; lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.50. 
Golden Tankard —A distinct variety, particularly 
valuable on account of its richness in saccha¬ 
rine matter, and highly prized by dairymen for 
its milk-producing qualities. The flesh, which is 
of a distinct deep yellow, is very sweet and ten¬ 
der. The large roots are oval in shape, and 
therefore will pull easier. 90 days. Pkt., 5c; 
*4-lb., 20c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.50. 
Aellow Globe —An especially good variety to grow 
if one has a limited supply of water; a great 
favorits for dairymen, making a wonderful in¬ 
crease in milk; easy to pull; tops are small. 85 
.. days. Pkt., 5c; %-lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.50; 
10 lbs., $4.50.
