atable, easily digested and highly nutritious, both Dairy Farmers and Poultry

the flow of milk when fed to cattle; they keep hens healthy and stimulate egg 
production. They should be fed at the rate of 25 Ibs. to 100 hens per day, with 
grain. Mangels are easily stored for winter, in root cellars or outdoor pits.
