Oyster Greek.
OYSTER CREEK. Jan. 9th IaS

OYSTER CREEK, Jan. 9Th, 1886.
Ed. FREE PRKss:-We wish to call atten
ton to the cultivation of the mangel-wur
eel for cattle feeding. We have expert
mented with this beet for two years, and
can safely pronounce it successful crop to
grow. 1t is thrifty, hardy root, and can
be raised with as little labor as turnlps.
For the man of small means, and who
wishes to live well and cheap on the milk of
two or three cows this root is indispensable.
In n country like ours, where pastures are
1neagre. and almost worthless on account of
sun. flowers, the intuitive mind begins to de-
wise some cheap forage whereby be may
supply his wants. Many resort to grasses
Bermuda or johnson, but there are serious
objections to these. with which every in
telligent reader is acquainted, if not ex-
perienced. We have cotton seed, but cot
ton seed are not good alone. To supply
this want the cattle beet comes to our res
cue. Accounts are given where 10 to 80
tons have been grown TO the acre. Fifty
cents worth Of seed, which can be pur-
chased of any good seed store, will SOW
enough ground to supply two or three milch
COWS. The preparation for seeding is
simply like that Of the garden beet When
the plants are up hand high, thin out from
three to six inches apart, and the roots
will attain q great size, two making a good
feed for one COW, with the addition of a few
cotton seed. Commence sowing the 14th of
February up to March. The beets will do
to feed by the last of June and on through |
the winter A little manure in the drill |
will give the roots healthy, thrifty growth. |
We hardly think this beet as forage |
will find favor with the cattle raiser on a |
large scale, IN consequence of it having to |
be chopped up SO that the cow can chew it.
Sorghum makes nice forage which is gen.
e, ally planted. IT'D.
