CULTURE—Beets are sown where crop is to grow, in open ground, as soon as 
spring frosts are over, 1-inch deep in drills 12 to 15 Inches apart, for convenience in 
hoeing; and young plants are thinned out, with a greater or less space between them, 
usually about 4 inches, according to size of variety grown. The thinnings from crop 
make excellent greens. They thrive in well enriched, moist soil, with plenty of sun- 
shine. Growth will be greatly stimulated with a slight application of Nitrate of Soda.

SUGAR BEETS

Sugar Beets and Mangels are of 
great value for stock feeding, be¬ 
cause of the improved health and 
condition of the animals, increased 
flow and quality of milk, and be¬ 
cause of the saving in fodder. The 
yield is enormous, and the cost of 
growing is trifling. Grow a patch 
of them for winter feed. They are 
also excellent for poultry.

mous size; producing thirty to fifty tons to the acre. 
Root nearly cylindrical in shape, light red, growing well

shape, narrowing abruptly at both ends; skin deep 
orange-yellow; flesh zoned yellow and white; sweet and
