Some Features Of slst Carriers and

Some Features Of slat Carriers and
Blower Machines.
Thee are two types or silage cleva-
tors In general use. One Is the old style
slat. or rather carrier. and the other Is
the blower. IN which the cut corn Is
forced up through tube by means Of
a current OF air. The chief objection
10 the blower machine IS that II takes
so much power 10 run It. While the
blower requires more power 10 oper.
ate thai does the Stat carrier, very
few blowers require more than a
twelve horsepower engine.
Professor Carrier, an investigator OF
the cost OF flllng silos. notes the fact
that out 81 thirty.one farmers In Mich
igan and Wisconsin the FIVE who re-
ported the lowest cost per ton Of put
ting up silage used the blower ma
chimes. Where the carrier elevators
were used IL cost on an average 65
cents per ton to ill the silo, while It
cost those who used the blower ele-
vaters III cents. A carrier unless
covered ON top and fitted with a return
trough underneath is very untidy. espe-
clally during windy weather At one
AIlace there was litter to the depth OF
half a foot about the silo that had
blown out OF the carrier. This trouble
Is avoided by the use Of the blower.
The blower pipe should stand as
nearly perpendicular as possible. In
one case called to Professor Carriers
attention a blower at first proved un-
satisfactory. The trouble lay in hav-
Ing the cutter set too far from the silo.
with the pipe leaning at an angle Of
thirty degrees from the perpendicular.
The pipe elogged frequently, and a
twelve horsepower engine was INSULT
