About Silos.

detailed information, etc. Now, my little

construct such a silo? What would be the
approximate cost? Is there on the market
good separator at a price which one
could afford to pay who keeps only four or
hVe average cows?
You would probably find that it will pay
even to construct silC S.SXl6 but l sug-

The smaller the silo, the greater Will be
the proportionate cost, well as the
greater the loss from over-fermenting at
the sides, corners and top. Sixteen feet is
rather a shallow pit, and yet PIT SKIS would
require not less than ten or twelve COWS TO

much as one 12xl2X2i The cost of the
smaller size would probably be fifty TO
seventy-five dollars, depending mainly on
the cost of material. The studding would
