inches apart, rutabagas 30 inches apart.

should be harvested in the fall and stored 
in a cool cellar covered with dry soil. A

Olds* Mangels 
Mangels are highly nutritious and ea.sily stored for winter. Greatly relished by all 
livestock and poultry. They are as digestible as grain; no silo is required. Mangels will 
save one-half the grain feed without reducing the milk yield. Oixe ounce of seed will 
sow 75 to 100 feet of drill; six pounds an acre. 
Maixgels 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 
cultivation. Thin to about four to six inches apart in the row. For larger amounts than 
quoted, see Market Gardeners’ Wholesale Price List.

tons per acre, the large roots often weighing 15 pounds each. They frequently grow
