a silo outside of the building and only
connecting it thereto with passage

able odor of the silage may be kept
out of the building. By arranging the
silo so as to be connected to the feed
ing room with a feed way, it should
be as convenient for feeding as when
located in the building itself. A very
common arrangement is to so locate
the Silo that the passage way from
silo to barn is a continuation of the
feed way in the barn. In general
it seems that there are few advantages
in building a silo inside of building
and many in building it outside.
Square silos are practically a thing
of the past They were developed be-
fore the round silo, but generally gave
trouble by the bulging of the straight
sides and the spelling of the silage in
the corners. In addition to this the
material of construction is not so eco
nomically used or distributed to resist
the pressure of the Silage as in the
round silo. The first two difficulties
We're somewhat reduced by filling the
corners of the square silo, making it
octagonal However, this was only
transitional stage in the development
OF the round silo and very few are in
use.
Where brick or cement may be Sc
cured at a reasonable price, they may

be a great many silos built and many
farmers will be using them for not only
dairy cate, but also beef cattle.
Where pastures are short and difficult
to produce successfully the summer
silo will be found of great value. The
secret of making good silage is to
have it cut reasonably fine and we'll
packed when put in. l believe it pays
to have an extra man in the silo all
the time during the filling process.
AS to the time when the corn should
be cut for silage, it depends some
what on what is wanted. If little
grain is to be fed, the corn should be
cut when the corn is in the dent and
the first few leaves at the bottom
have showed firing. If large amount
of succulent feed is desired and it is
intended that much grain be fed with
the silage, it may be cut at an earlier
period. My experience with silage,
covering fifteen years, is that we'll
ripened corn makes better silage than
corn in the milk or early dough stage.

To aid the farmers in selecting the
type of silo best adapted to their con-
ditions the Iowa experiment station
has made thorough investigation of
silo construction and issed bulletin
on the subject, from which the fol-
lowing is taken:
Of the silos reported by their own
ers visited, 1876 were located outside
of the barn and 26 inside. Those To-
Gated inside of a building were largely
of a type not we'll adapted to be placed
outside. These reports indicate that
a location of the silo outside of all
buildings meets with greater favor
among those using Silos.
There are several good reasons for
this: First, the Silo, with the eXcep-
tion of a few types, is of such con-
struction that it does not need the
protection of covered building.
Second, it is not economical to place
a silo in building where. it will oc-
cupy space which may be put to other
use. Third silO located inside of a

The quality of silage improves as
the depth increases. This is due to
the weight above The usual silo to-
day is thirty or more feet deep. A
larger percentage of mouldy and 9th
erwise inferior silage is found near
the top than at the center or near the
bottom, providing that a certain
weight is necessary to compress the
silage and exclude the air SO as to
to insure its perfect preservation. BY
building a deep silo greater percen-
tage of good silage is obtained, which
is, of course. a matter of economy
Good practice at present seems to
dictate that the depth should be at
least thirty feet A large percentage
of the silos are built considerably
deeper, say fifty or sixty feet.
In the discussion of foundations, it
is stated that they should extend be-
low the frost line, so if the earth in
side the foundation wall be eXcavated

to this depth and the floor placed on
level with the footings a very cheap
addition to the silo is secured without
addition to the height above the
ground. The difficulty in removing
the silage from the part of the silo
below the lower door is Objectionable,
and beyond a certain depth this be-
comes SO great as to more than bal
ance the economy of securing addi-
tional space in this way. Three or
four feet up to the first door is not
considered Objectionable.
When silage is left exposed to the
air for short time, more than q day.
it spoils. Enough must be removed
daily so that it will keep fresh. In
well settled silage, the air does not
penetrate much over an inch, and if
one and a half or two inches are fed
from the surface daily the silage will
remain fresh. In warm weather the
spelling will take place much more
rapidly than in cold weather, requiring
that silage be removed each day in
order to keep it fresh. 1t has been
noticed also that air penetrates into
loose dry silage further than it does
into that which is moist and compact.
Thus, it is seen that under some cir
cumstances an inch might be suffi-
cient, but in order to have fresh silage
under all circumstances, the silo
should be of such size that approxi-
mately two inches will be fed from the
surface each day.-Prof. M. L. King,
Iowa State College.

gated. The solid wall brick silo is
not much, if any, better than the stave
silo as far as protection from freez
ing is concerned. The wall is usually
eight inches thick and reinforced by
hoops or bands on the outside. The
inside must be plastered with cement
plaster to make the walls air and
water tight.
Out of the 124 silos reported in
Iowa eighty-two were of the stave
type. There is no doubt whatever
but that the stave silo is a thoroughly
established success. The measure of
success depends largely, however,
upon the method of construction, ma
terial used and care that is taken of
the silo.

build any silo less than thirty
feet high. If you have small
herd, say twelve or fifteen head,
make it twelve feet in diameter
If you have twenty-five or
thirty make it sixteen feet and thirty
feet high, and if you have forty or fifty
head to feed make it eighteen feet in
diameter and thirty feet high.
The silo is certainly practical
equipment for the Nebraska farmer.
[ believe in the near future there will

by the success of many of them that
concrete is one of the best building
materials from which to construct
permanent silos.

Reign of the Common People " which was,
most certainly, as one OF the audience
remarked at the close of the lecture, "a

prepared paper in line with the excellent
standard of his previous lectures, well
nhrased, well handled, emphatically de-
livered, and which presented the subject
matter in hand in the best possible com
bination of picturesque style combined
with practical treatment.
The lecturer was optimistic although he
fully emphasized the social inequalities
which exist between the classes and the
masses. "The world is developing a more
tender, a more sympathetic mood, ne
said, land is, therefore, paying more
attention to the uneven adjustment OF
the social scale. The common people mas
fought its wars. 1t has titled its soil and
enacted its laws. Its names have been
lost and its graves forgotten but 1t mas

age of chivalry has given way to the age
of chicanery. The long head succeeds
