’ MANGELS 
Mangels will save one-half the grain and feed without re- 
ducing the milk yield. One ounce of seed will sow 75 
to 100 feet of drill; six pounds an acre. 
CULTURE: Mangels for winter storage should be 
planted about corn planting time. Make the rows about 
20 inches apart for hand cultivation or three to four 
feet apart for horse cultivation. Thin to about four to 
six inches apart in the row. For larger amounts than 
quoted see our Market Gardeners’ Wholesale Price List
