Mangels or Stock Beet 
Green Stock Feed 
(Remolachas y Nabos Para El Ganado) 
Mangels or Stock Beets are a splendid winter feed for cattle and hogs. Increases the milk 
yield from cows. Puts animals in better physical condition. Yield larger crops than turnips and 
are of greater feeding value. The best food in existence for all kinds of livesiock. Over 40 tons 
have been grown on a single acre, and in feeding value this is equal to 130 bushels of corn. 
Culture. Much depends on good culture, so 
prepare your land thoroughly and plow deeply. 
Sow from about the middle of March until the 
middle of June, and give thorough cultivation. 
After the first cultivation, thin out, so as to 
stand ten inches apart in the row, and cultivate 
like corn. If late in planting, soak the seed for 
24 hours before planting. Sow 4 to 5 pounds to 
the acre in rows 2!4 feet apart. 
147—GOLDEN TANKARD. Flesh firm and 
solid, and a rich golden yellow color. On ac- 
count of its peculiar shape they can be grown 
closer than most Mangels, increasing the yield 
per acre considerably. Grows well above 
ground and is easily pulled. Yields particularly 
well on light soils. Oz., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; Ib., 
$1.25; 5 Ibs., $5.50, postpaid.
