MANGEL WURZELS 
Any land that will grow a good crop of Corn will pro¬ 
duce a good crop of Mangels or Sugar Beets, which are 
surer crops than any other root. 
Mangels give one-third greater increase of milk in feeding cows than does the same weight 
of Potatoes. Forty tons Mangels (a crop of an acre) have as much nutritive matter as 130 
bu. of corn and are more digestible. Send to Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., 
for Special Bulletin on Mangels and Beets.
