One of the most valuable feed crops we know of for milch cows and growing animals is the mammoth cattle beet, which, with proper attention, will yield as many as 30 or 40 tons of these sweet, nutritious roots to the acre; and it is surprising how they will ease up on the haymow, and at the same time fill the firkins with beautiful, delicious butter.

JERRARD CO. MANGEL-WURZELS. One of the most valuable feed crops we know of for milch cows and growing animals is the mammoth cattle beet, which, with proper attention, will yield as many as 30 or 40 tons of these sweet, nutritious roots to the acre; and it is surprising how they will ease up on the haymow, and at the same time fill the firkins with beautiful, delicious butter. CULTIVATION. They do well on sod land deeply broken, or on land that was in crop the year before, though best of all on summer fallow. Either should have a large dressing of manure (new or old) ploughed under, and a little old manure or superphos- phate harrowed into the top soil to carry along the young plants until they get hold of the manure. Sow in rows two and one-half feet apart, so that a horse cultivator may be run among them. When the plants are well established, thin to a foot apart in the rows. Tbey may be sown quite early in the spring, as soon as the land is in condition" to work, for the young plants are not injured by frosts. They should be harvested before the heavy freezes in the fall, or they will not keep so well. Six pounds seed are required to plant an acre. Improved Golden Tankard Mangel Wurzel. A very valuable kind for field culture. It is a most pro- lific cropper, is of fine form, and, when cut open, shows interior rings similar to the table varieties. A capital sort for stock feeding. Beautiful and monstrous specimens may be grown for exhibition pur- poses by planting far apart and making the land exceed- ingly rich. Prices: lb., 30 cts., by freight or express. By mail, post-paid—lb., 40 cts. ; 1-4 lb., 20 cts. ; oz., 10 cts. ; pkt., 5 cts. Colossal Long Red. This is the very best beet to raise for stock feeding, and will please everybody. It grows to enormous size, is fine
