Sludstrup Barres Mammoth Long Red 
MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR BEETS 
Because of the constantly increasing cost of mill feeds which are as constantly decreasing in feeding value, due 
to the incorporation in them of mill sweepings, screenings, and hulls, and because of the prohibitive cost of the best 
concentrated grains, the American farmer would do well to take more notice and thought of the practice of Euro¬ 
pean stock raisers and dairymen, in the use of root crops as a succulent winter feed for stock. In England, Scot¬ 
land, Holland and Denmark where corn, either for silage or grain is unknown and only a limited amount of other 
grains for feed is available, the main reliance has always been Mangels and Sugar Beets. It must be admitted that 
these countries have produced the best of both beef and dairy animals. We too, could and should grow vast quanti¬ 
ties of these crops, and we would gain; both in lessened cost of feed, and in the health and vigor of our animals. 
The Poultry man also finds Sugar Beets and Mangels a valuable and much relished winter feed, and for main¬ 
taining the health and vitality of a (lock of sheep through a long northern winter they are the best on earth barring 
none. 
To obtain the best results in New England, the seed should be sown the latter part of May, in rich, moist, well 
drained soil, which has been prepared by very deep ploughing and thorough harrowing. Sow in drills 2^6 feet 
apart to permit horse cultivation and thin to about 10 inches in the row. Six to eight pounds of seed are required 
per acre.
