CARE IN SILO CONSTRUCTION
Many of the Failures Which Have Discouraged the Intro
duCtion of SIOs Are Due to Improper Construction

The Importance and value of the silo
in furnishing succulent food for dairy
cows and other farm animals is now
being more generally appreciated Only
a trial is necessary to convince stock
raisers that sflage is an economical feed
for the production of beef as well as for
production of milk. Silage when included
in the ration for steers makes 1t more
palatable. and in this manner is an ac-
tive agent in bringing about more rapid
gains. Also in many cases we'll preserved
silage has been found cheap and sue
cessful feed for sheep, swine and horses.
The fundamental principle in the pre-
servation of green forage when placed in
a silo is the exclusion of air.
Silo I6 feet in diameter. feet passage
from feeding stable to silO. Convenient
arrangement for feeding.
The silo may be made an ornament
to any group of farm buildings. It's
form is such that it may be made TO
add to the appearance Of any style of
construction. One or more conical silO
roofs when viewed from a distance; or
in the fun height of the curved walls
at a closer range, gives very pleasing
effect when placed in a setting of rectan-
ular buildings.
It is the purpose of any silo, regard
as far as possible from the silage. and
in this way prevent decay. To prevent
the air from reaching the silage, all
siIos must have air-tight walls. These
must be rigid enough not TO be sprung
out of shape by the pressure of the
silage, permitting air to enter next to
the wall. Not only the walls but the
doors, also. must be perfectly aIr-ught.
To accomplish this they should be well
fitted and the joints made more perfect
by felt pads or gaskets. 1t is a good
practice where the silo door sets against
a shoulder. to place clay worked into the
consistency of putty in the joint The
clay is placed on the bearing surface
and the door is placed over it, and when
the pressure Of the silage comes against
the door an air-tight joint is obtained.
Tar paper is successfully used by some
silo owners, either in strips to cover the
cracks around the doors or in widths
sufficient to cover the entire door and
lap a few inches on the silO walls.
Not only should the walls be tight
and rigid, but they should also be per-
fectly smooth on the inside to permit the
silage to settle without forming any
pockets, which cause a certain amount
of the adjoining silage to rot Several

failures have been caused by shoulder
being made where the walls join the
foundation. The foundation wall, and in
fact the walls of the entire silo. should
be as smooth as possible. If due care
is used in tramping the silage during
the hlliEg, doors which extend into the
silo are not a serious objection, though
perfectly flush doors are certainly an adj
vantage. A vertical wall is the only
satisfactory wall to use, as a wall in
ciined outward will support the silage
to certain extent and prevent it settling
satisfactorily, thus creating air pockets
When the wall is inclined inward the
silage viii settle away from It. In the
case of concrete silos tapered walls,
those should be vertical on the inside
Best results are obtained where the
silage is uniformly distributed throughout
the silo and is carefully packed near the
walls and around the doors by tramping.
Care should be taken that the heavy and
light portions shall be uniformly mixed.
Some silo owners are Of the opinion that
a great amount of tramping is unneges-
sary, but the investigations of the writ
ers would indicate that where tamping
was not followed there was always a
certain amount Of spoiled silage and that
the money spent for labor used IN thor
oughly tramping the silage in the silo
when filled brought good returns.
In localities where freezing occurs, It
is necessary to construct the silo so q
TO preveat so far as possible, ffeeslil1g
of the silage 1t is difficult to maiiis d
comparison between the merits OF the
various types Of silos in this RESPECT,
owing to the inability to find them Under
like conditions. Freezing Of silage is
due to loss Of heat, first through the
Sac wall: second, to theair in contact
with the feeding surface. The first loss
may be reduced by using non-eonduct-
ing wall in the silo. and the second by
preventing the circulation Of air above
the silage the silo.
Any kind of an air space VIII partially
prevent freezing. depending upon now
little the air circulates in this space and
also upon how much conducting material
is required to tie the outer and timer
walls together.
The King and Gueler silos were among
the first to make use of an air space to
prevent loss Of heat through the walls
but the air spaces were so deep that cir
culation of air from the top to the
bottom of the wall was quite free and
readily transmitted heat from wall to
wall in this manner.

not a very numerous class; and 1t would
be fair to ask of preachers homes to
produce no more than their just proper
tion of useful and successful men. But
as a matter of fact, from the families
of preachers have come a far greater
number of men notably useful and sue
cessful than from any other class of
families in the world. This will be
seen, if we begin to call the roll OF
some of the great many of history.
Among the poets Addison, Coleridge,
Cowper, Ben Johnson, Goldsmith,
Charles Wesley, Keble, Alfred Tennyson,
James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell
Holmes. and James Montgomery were
all sons of prea cheers.
OF the great essayists Matthew Ar
mold. William Hazlitt, and Leigh Hunt
may be mentioned as parsonage prod
ucts.
OF the great artists and architects,
both Sir Joshua Reynolds and Sir Chris
TOPPER Wrenn were the sons of clergy
men.
OF the great historians Alison, Ban
croft Hallam, Patkman, and William
Robertson were SOILS of ministers.
Out OF the homes Of preachers came
the following among the famous sci
entists: Agassix; Linneaus, Wollaston,
Charles II. Hitchcock, Reginald S. Poole,
Edward Jenner John Bell, Johann
Encke, and Samuel f. B. Morse.
The homes of preachers have been
especially fruitful of great PREACHERS.
all the following being sons OF preach
ers: John and Charles Wesley, Jonathan
Edwards, Robert Hall, John Howe, Nor
man Mcleod, Adolphe Monod, Gardener
Spring, Dean Stanley, Archdeacon Far
rar. Richard S. Storrs, Henry ]. Van
Dyke, George f. Pierce. Joseph S, Key.
and Henry Ward Beecher
The bar has been equally indebted
with the pulpit to preachers families
for some of its most brilliant lights,
such as Lord Peterborough, Chief JUS
tice of England; Justices Strong, Field,
Brewer, Lamar, and Hughes cf the SUI
preme Court of the United States; Sam
uel Puffendorf, and Sir Travers Twiss.
Statesmen in great numbers and of
the highest character have been sons of
preachers. Among such may be men
toned Henry Clay, Edward Everett, John
Hancock, Grover Cleveland, Allen G..
Thurman, Judson Harmon, Woodrow
Wilson, Cyrus w. Field, Jonathan F.
Doniver, Levi P. Morton, and Chester
A. Arthur among American statesmen;
and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lord
Thurlow, Lord Talbot, and Balfour.
among Englishmen.
1t is remarkable that of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence nine
were the sons Of ministers, viz. John
Hancock, Robert T. Paine, William Will
liams, Francis Lewis, John Witherspoon,
George Taylor, George Ross, and Sam
uel Chase.

1t is astonishing how persistent is
the life of a false proverb when once
it gets started, especially when men
can find in it any sort Of comfort for
their own failures and shortcomings.
There is a proverbial saying about
how bad and how worthless are the
sons of preachers. The unfounded no
ton has been quickly accepted by hun
dreds of people who bear grudges
against all preachers because the gospel
condemns their own sins; and by such
sinners it has been reiterated with IN
finite satisfaction. Others accept 1t all
too readily because their own children
have been worthless failures, and they
too, repeat IL with unctuous confidence.
Nevertheless the saying is utterly I'M
founded in fact, as any ne may know
by acquainting himself even tOlerably
well with any standard cyclopedia of D.
ogrophy.
Compared with the whole number of
people, preachers and their families are
