Mangels Cn Stack Beels 
Mangels are the most important of all root crops for feeding livestock. Pal- 
atable, easily digested and highly nutritious, both Dairy Farmers and Poultry 
Raisers find them a valuable winter feed for cattle and poultry. They increase 
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.
