MANGELS OR STOCK BEET 
Green Stock Feed

Mangels or Stock Beets are a splendid winter feed for cattle and hogs. Increases the milk 
yield from cows. Puts animals in better physical condition. Yield larger crops than turnips 
and are of greater feeding value. The best food in existence for all kinds of livestock. Over 
40 tons have been grown on a single acre, and in feeding value this is equal to 130 bushels of com.

sandy loam, but nearly all types of soil will produce beets if sufficiently fer¬ 
tilized and properly tilled. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds 
per acre. Ask for prices in larger quantities.
