Nv nroying loss rsli'ht"o liz
wood Recently steei siGrag has been
used in place of wood for the outer
part of the wall of the silo, and 1t is
said TO compare fayorably with lumber
as to cost
The first silos built in the United
States were 'pit silos.y and these are
still sometimes made. but aside from
their cheapness they have no advan-
tage of consequence over those built on
top of the ground A serious objection
to them lies in the difficulty in feeding
the silage from them. On side hill sit
uations they can sometimes be used
adyantageously. 1t is often possible to
build the silo partly below and partly
above ground. materially lessening the
cost, but retaining the advantages of
the above ground silo.
The desirability CT silage as food
for farm animals during the winter
and also in times of drought has led to
many attempts to construct cheap silos,
especially in sections where building
materials are high. One of the most
satisfactory of these cheap structures
is known as the "stave silo." 1t is built
much as round tank, but is without
top or bottom other than the soil. and
is composed OF two inch lumber of va
rying width held together by hoops of
one-half inch iron. with suitable blocks
for Tightening. When filed. a tempo
rary roof may be placed on the silo. or
straw or grass may be spread over the
silage
