BEETS FOR STOCK 
MANGEL WURZEL 
1 he Mangel Wurzels grow to a large size, are coarse and wonderfully productive, making excellent 
food for cattle. Those who have never tried the Mangels for stock have yet to learn of their great 
value for cattle, both for milk and meat. They are both juicy and refreshing, and add to the health 
and comfort of the animals. For field culture the rows should be wide enough to admit the horse 
cultivator, and the roots not nearer than one foot in the row. Sow five or six pounds of seed to the acre. 
When large quantities are required, write for special prices.

VICK’S GOLDEN 
GIANT 
When the Sugar Beet is planted for a sugar crop, from six to eight pounds of seed will be required 
for an acre. Seed may be sown in drills twenty to thirty inches apart. When beets are up two or three 
inches high, they should be thinned out so as to stand from six to eight inches apart. Discontinue cultiva¬ 
tion after formation of roots has commenced. 
Although Sugar Beets are grown 
principally for sugar-making and for 
stock-feeding, they are very desir¬ 
able for table use, being more tender, 
sweeter, and of better flavor than any 
of the sorts grown for that purpose. 
Everyone who has a small garden 
try them.

is a variety with small top-leaves and a 
conical root. It is being cultivated in

easily harvested. Ounce, 5 cents; y x lb., 
cents ; lb., 40 cents.
