Mangels are the most important of all root crops for 
feeding livestock. Palatable, easily digested and high- 
ly 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 lbs. to 100 hens per day, 
with grain. Mangels are easily stored for 
winter, in root cellars or outdoor pits. 
CULTURE—Sow at corn planting time— 
in drills 2 to 2!/, feet apart, on rich moist 
land, the seed should be planted an inch 
deep; on dry and sandy soil it must be 
planted I'/, to I'/> inches deep. Thin out 
to stand 8 inches apart in row. 

ease Control before 
planting. Use ARA- 
SAN, a chemical pow- 
der that sterilizes both 
seed and soil, and in- 
sures better germina- 
tion and healthier seed- 
lings. See page 67.
