Carrots, mangold wurtzels and sugar beets

A practical manual for root crop culture outlines why carrots, mangold wurzels, and sugar beets are valuable farm fodder and describes their nutritional virtues compared with other feeds. It gives detailed, step-by-step guidance on site selection, soil preparation, manuring (including use of salt), bed preparation, sowing times and seed quantities, and recommends varieties suited to different soils. The book explains cultivation techniques and implements, harvesting and storage methods, crop costs and marketing, and feeding practices for cattle, swine, horses, and poultry. Practical notes on crop rotation, companion planting with onions, and maximizing yield conclude the handbook.
