MANGEL WURZEL or Stock Beet 
GROWING AND HARVESTING STOCK BEET 
* Practically all of the High Milk Production Records in contests are made . 
with Mangel Wurzel as part of the Ration, in some cases as high as 100 
lbs. daily being fed. 
Splendid feed for cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, keeping stock and poul- 
try in healthy condition throughout the winter months, when other green 
feeds are not readily available. Combined with grain it is worth almost 
as much, pound for pound, as grain as it aids digestion and assimilation. 
Do not feed whole to cattle. Roots should be shredded or sliced rather fine. 
Plant early in the spring about 2 weeks before the last frost; 5 to 8 
pounds of seed per acre in rows 24 inches apart. Rather flat-lying fairly 
heavy soil, that has been well fertilized and plowed as deeply as possible 
is best. Thin to 12 to 15 inches apart when 
the plants are 4 to 6 inches tall. Cultivate 
frequently and keep free of weeds. If you 
wish to begin feeding early in the fall pull 
2 or 38 days supply at a time. Before 
freezing weather, harvest the remainder of 
the crop and remove the tops but do not 
cut the top of the beets. Pile about a ton 
in a place and cover with 5 or 6 inches of 
earth, leaving a small place on top of the 
pile open except to cover with tops (this 
is for ventilation). Later, when cold weather 
comes, cover all over with more earth to 
prevent freezing, or store in a cellar. 
Mangel Wurzels usually contain 5 to
