Mangels and Sugar Beets 4 
No crops are more valuable for feeding 
cattle and sheep than Mangels and Sugar 
Beets. In these past few years it is hard to ~ 
find a dairyman who does not feed them. The — 
average yield is 45 tons to the acre. They are 
easily harvested, not a particle of waste to 
them, and may be stored in pit and root cellar — 
with little trouble. Sow 8 pounds to the acre — 
in May or June, in drills 2 feet apart, and thin 
to 10 inches in the row. ~
