©Mo' Root Crop; 
Olds* Mangels 
Mangels are highly nutritious and 
easily stored for winter. Greatly 
relished by all livestock and poultry. 
They are as digestible as grain; no 
silo is required. Mangels will save 
one-lialf the grain feed without re¬ 
ducing the milk yield. One ounce 
of seed will sow 75 to 100 feet of 
drill; 6 pounds an acre. 
Mangels for winter storage should 
be planted about corn planting time. 
Make the rows about 20 inches 
apart for hand cultivation or three 
to four feet apart for horse culti¬ 
vation. Thin to about four to six 
inches apart in the row. For larger 
amounts than quoted, see Market 
Gardeners’ Wholesale Price List,
