Olds’ Mangels 
Mangels are highly nutritious and easily 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 re- 
ducing the milk yield. One ounce of seed will sow 75 
to 100 feet of drill; six pounds an acre. 
Mangels 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 our Market 
Gardeners’ Wholesale Price List.
