two millions of dollars, when, as a
matter of fact, the records show that
there was enough money in the treas

State owed. The whole of the letter,

The Concrete siIo Thoroughly Prac-
tical-A Wire Fencing Frame.
Wire fencing has often been used to
bind stave silo. and now its use as
the skeleton of a concrete silo is under
consideration. An American Cultivator
writer says:
The success of a round water tank Of
concrete nodded on framework of
wire fencing led to the idea that such
a structure built longer and a little
larger would make Il good and cheap
silo. The plan was submitted to the
Wisconsin experiment station, where
the investigation of silo problems has
been SO extensive as to make it au-
thority in this line. Reply was re-
ceived as follows:
1t seems to me 1t would be perfectly
feasible TO construct q cylindrical silo
of concrete with stout wire fencing i'm
bedded as you suggest. | inspected
two silos few days since built on the
Morgan farm at Beloit. Wis, of con
crete with cement plaster lining, but
having three-eighths inch rods laid In
sections around the silo at distances
varying from two feet apart near the
bottom to five feet apart near the top.
These silos have both been filed and
emptled so that there can be no ques-
ton regarding their strength. One was
twentyfour feet In diameter and the
other thirty feet.
The e&ncrete silo Is thoroughly
practical and permanent structure and
meets with only one objection so far as
| can see-namely, that 1t is a better
conductor of heat than wood and there
fore does not protect from freezing so
well as does a wooden silo. There Is
also a tendency to collect some mois
ture in the walls on warm days in the
spring, but this Is not an inconvenience
and In the two cases mentioned did not
injure the silage In the least.
The action of the acid of the silage
on the cement l believe to have been
overestimated. l have seen cement
lined silos which have been filed eight
years, and the amount Of loosening was
altogether immaterial. a thin cement
wash every three years being sufficient
to keep 1t In good repair.

they should be carried toward the front
