OR STOCK BEET 
Splendid feed for cattle, hogs, 
sheep and poultry, keeping stock 
and poultry in healthy condition 
throughout the winter months, when 
other green feeds are not readily 
available. Combined with grain it 
is worth almost as much, pound for 
pound, as grain as it aids digestion 
and assimilation. 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 
possible is best. Thin to 12 to 1I5 
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.
