MANGEL FOR STOCK. No root crop is a better paying investment for farmers to grow than Mangel Wurzel. Sow in drills 24 inches apart and 9 inches in rows; sow when ground is warm and moist. It will pay every farmer to plant an acre, as the yield is enor- mous. Feed after milking. A yield of 1,000 bushels per acre is common. Keeps well, and does cattle much good, as a change in food always does good. Eiffel Tower Mangel. For the past 6 years we have been growing same on a large scale for seed, and have found it in all requirements way ahead of any and every Mangel yet tried. It is mammoth tn size; a specimen, under favorable circumstances, having been grown WEIGHING lOi POUNDS. When we were overlooking the City of Paris, on the great Eiffel Tower, in 1894, we thought of our great Eiffel Tower Mangel, and felt proud that we had named this grandest of Mangels after the big tower. The Mangel is emrmously, wonderfully prolific. Its yield is fabulous; 1,000 to l,bOO bushels is nothmg un- common on good soil. Its quality is of a high order, and is greatly relished by all cattle, giving a wonderful flow of milk, and is an excellent food for fattening. As Eiffel Tower, after which we have named this remarkable Mangel, is the most wonderful, and tallest structure in the world, so is this Eiffel Tower Mangel the most marvelously prolific flesh and milk producing Mangel known on earth. "There," someone will say, "that's too strongl *' Try the Mangel and you will say not half strong enough. PRICE OF EIFFEL TOWER. By mail: Pkg..lOc ; oz .15c.; K lb., 25c.; lb., 65c.; 5lbs.

New Mangel— Saizer's Jersey Sugar. The Jersey cow has an excellent record for producing the richest cream and the sweetest butter. There has been among dairymen some slight objection to feed- ing Mangel Wurzel,on ac- count of a slight flavor that is retained in the milk. This we have endeavored to do away with, and we believe that our new Mangel, Jersey Sugar, fills the requirements complete- ly. It is an enormous yielder, of fine, light white color, very sweet, ind will produce an enormous flow of milk of the richest quality.

Every year there are hundreds of our custom- ' ers who write us for mixed Mangel seed, and we have concluded this season to meet their wishes, and have mixed of all the varieties that we have in,excellent proportion. This mixture, we know, will at once become popular. It is cheap, and will surely give satisfaction. We can heartily indorse same. On our own farm the planting of mixed Mangels yielded over 700 bushels per acrel Price: Pkg., ic; 3 pkgs., 10c,; 02., Sc.; ^ lb;, 12c.; lb.. 30c., postpaid; 2 lbs., 55c.; 5 lbs.
