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, 
q 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'/4 to |'/p 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,
