a water-tank is given pretty rear the
diameter of the silo, it's height could
be small and the whole sheltered with
no extra roof. A tongue-and-grooved
stave silo, thus sheltered from the
wind and weather, would render thor
oughly good service and would be a
permanent structure. The silo could,
of course, be placed outside, in the
angle on either side but in such
case the stave silo is only tenn
porary building. With this arrange
ment the ensilage can be taken out
into the feed-room against the ven

could stand at / or and it could be
filled from the driveway floor, using
the blower elevator, which could also
be used for cutting straw and rough

the space above the driveway floor

an arrangement as this and with espe

in composing with the manure, the
quantity of stable manure can thus be
very materially increased and the

run for couple of hours night and

and the work in the dairy attended to,
so that the separator could be run,
taking off its power when other need

on at the same time, because bin

mill would be fed automatically, thus

that it was feeding right.
