Gentlemen:-In the fall Of 1911 I had
a Playford Cement Stave silo put up
on my farm. wanted to say that I am
well pleased with my silo. These days
first part of January-are very cold
and the stlage around the edges will
freeze from s to ~ degrees but if the
edges are kept lower than the center
that will help some. In common wealth
er it will not freeze much. I filled my
silo the last part Of August. There is
plenty moisture all around the wall as
we'll as in the center. feel that can
recommend the Playford Cement Stave
Sflo to any of the farmers.
The cows and calves eat the silage
good but will eat very little hay and
they don't drink so much water They
keep in good condition.
Yours truly,
Otto Anderson

Dear Sirs:-1n regard to the Playford
Silo will say that am we'll pleased with
my silo. AS to freezing, it was so late
when got my roof on that I did not get
chinked up between the rafters and the
chute was not made as tight as it should
be, so my silage is frozen more than

Long Prairie, Minnesota.
Gentlemen: -.
In answer to your letter, will say, I
am we'll pleased with the silo LAS near
as know, your silo is just as cheap
as any of them. I would never think of
putting up wood stave because they
need so much attention to keep them in
order. There is always an expense for
some repairs and painting too. The sill
age has not dried out near the wall but
sticks fast when froze. For the past
three weeks, the weather has been from
80 to As degrees below zero and the sill
age is froze about foot in, that is not
any more than the others are froze. So
far as I can find out, the price Of your
silo is no higher than others. My farm
has So acres, mostly pasture yet I
have q head of cattle, Is. cows and the
rest yearlings. I commenced to feed
November 1st and have fed about IL
feet from 100. ton size, IA #. wide. A
silo certainly saves lot Of feed. If
didn't have it, would be obliged to buy
feed every year that would cost as much
as the silo and not so good either. The
cattle are fed mostly silage with a lit
tie straw and are looking fine. Am milk
ing half of them.
You might send me few of your cat
alogues. will give them to some of
my neighbors.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Victor C. Lawson.

six were your cement stave silo. as
am of the opinion that they are the
only and coming silo, and one that will
last lifetime. I have not given the
ensilage thorough test, not having as
yet an opportunity to feed it. but I en-
terrain no fears on this score. Wishing
you all success am,
