MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR CATTLE BEETS 
We strongly recommend the Mangels and Sugar Beets for feeding to cattle, sheep and swine. The 
roots grow to a very large size, make a much heavier yield than Turnips, and are more nutritious and 
fattening for food during the winter, largely increasing the yield of milk in cows. They can be grown 
at trifling cost. The seed should be sown during April or May, in rows 21 to 3 feet apart, at the rate of 
five pounds per acre. H hen the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin or cut out with the hoe to 10 or 12 
inches apart. The roots should be harvested before frost and stored in pits or cellars. 
Photograph of Prize Chirk Oastle Manpel in comparison with the largest Improved Mammoth Long Red, both specimens 
grown in same field, with same cultivation. We believe this specimen to be the largest Mangel over grown in America. 
THE CHIRK CASTLE MANOEL-WURZEL BEET 
Remarkable for its handsome, thick, uniform shape and very broad shoulders, its diameter 
being greater and its weight much heavier than Mammoth Long Red, as shown in our photograph 
above. Flesh is deep red, containing less water and more sugar than any other Mangel, making it 
more nutritious and milk-producing. Sheep also thrive better when fed on it, picking out pieces of it 
in preference to other kinds. It was originated in Scotland, where it has been known to produce (10 
tons to the acre. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; k lb., 25c.; lb., 75c., postpaid ; by freight or express, lb., 65c.; 5 lbs. 
(enough for one acre), $3.00 ; 10 lbs. and over at 50c. per lb.
