Mangeol Wurzol OR STOCK BEET 





















Splendid feed for cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, Keeping stock and 
poultry 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. 
See page 3 for soil preparation and page 
89 concerning harvesting. 
Mangel Wurzels usually contain 5 to 7 
per cent sugar and on good soil you should 
grow 25 to 50. tons, per, acre.
