Beets or Mangold^Wurzels, For Cattle Feeding. Five Ounces of Seed to lOO Yards of Row. A family of Beets bred to a large size for cattle feeding. The roots are easily injured by Autumn frosts, and therefore must be taken up in good time and properly protected. When first harvested they are acrid and scour cattle, but after a few months become palatable and safe. The approved types produce massive roots which, well elevated above the surface, are harvested with the greatest ease and produce double the weight of turnips to the acre, to which advantage may be added the high nutritive value, the saccharine often being equal to 6 or 7 per cent, of the gross weight. The Mangold is a high feeder—potash and nitrogen are needed to force the plant into vigorous grawth ; stable manure will do it or kainit mixed with dried meat or fish. Drill when the Cherry is in bloom. \^. YELLOW GLOBE.—Its tap-root alone enters the earth to any depth, the bulb so nearly setting on the sur- face as to render harvesting simply a matter of lifting.
