OR STOCK BEET 
Splendid feed for cattle, hogs, 
sheep and poultry, keeping stock and 
poultry in healthy condition through- 
out the winter months, when other 
green feeds are not readily available. 
Combined with grain it is worth al- 
most as much, pound for pound, as 
grain as it aids digestion and assimi- 
lation. 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 fer- 
tilized and plowed as deeply as pos- 
sible is best. Thin to 12 to 15 inches 
apart when the plants are 4 to 6 
inches tall. ‘ 
See page 4 for soil preparation and 
page 8 concerning storage. 
Mangel-Wurzels usually contain 5 
to 7 per cent sugar and on good soil 
you should grow 25 to 50 tons per 
acre.
