ties they will crack or spring and air
will be admitted to effect the spelling
of the ensilage.
The walls should be sufficiently
non-conducting ("warm") to prevent
extensive freezing of the outer por.
tions of the ensilage in cold weather.
Such portions as adhere to the walls
by freezing are likely to spoil If they
thaw out slowly.
Built of stone, brack or cement, the
walls may be made sufficiently strong
to produce perfect silage, the round
silo being the most popular type.

Az feet below the surface of the
ground and six inches above the bot

the upper two feet is of concrete. The
foundation is 101R inches wide at the

forms, the plan of the door frame and
the manner of reinforcing the walls

forms are continuous. The tiles begin
six feet above the foundation, form

pine, nailed upon two circles of elm
Each of these circles was built up OF

Ensilage may be roughly defined as

is usually green corn in this country.
Other materials sometimes used are

corn. Green rye. wheat, oats and 9th.

Some practical ensilage users think
that certain of the legumes, such as
alfalfa, clover, field peas. cow peas or
soy beans. mixed with corn make a
much more desirable ensilage than
does corn alone. Three reasons are
offered for this preference:
1. Stock enjoy this mixed ensilage
better.
2. Stock thrive better upon It.
3. Such an ensilage approaches more
nearly balanced ration.
