MANGELS AND SUGAR BEETS 
No crops ore more valuable for feeding cat¬ 
tle and sheep than Mangels and Sugar Beets. In 
+hese past few years it is hard to find a dairy¬ 
man who does not feed them. The average 
vield is 45 tons to the acre. They are easily 
harvested, not a particle of waste to them, and 
may be stored in pit and root cellar with little 
trouble. Sow 8 pounds to the acre in May or 
June, in drills 2 feet apart, and thin to 10 
inches in the row.
