danger of putting up siIage too dry
rather than too moist. In q staye silO
the slaves should be tightened up to
exclude the air and generally loosened
d little after the silage swells the
1staves. The inside wall Of concrete
silo should be washed with q thin mix
ture Of cement and water every two Or
three years This fIls the pores and
keeps the air from the silage.
1t win take at least six teams to
keep the average silage cutter busy.
Corn should not be cut down too far

men should work In the silo distrib-
uting the silage with forks. Where q
silage distributor is used one man is
sufficient. They should keep the silage
higher at the walls than in the cen
ter and should continually tramp the
silage next to the walls. The tramp
ing is especially to keep out the air.
When possible allow the machine to
stand two or three days and refill to
make use Of all the capacity. Finish
filing the silo by running in a load of
grass and weeds. This will rot and
seal the top and prevent having to
throw out the same amount OF spoiled
silage.
The silage should feel wet after it
lis cut in the silo. If the corn is very
mature when cut and is therefore too
dry add water, A small stream may
be run into the blower from barrel
or tank. 1t is especially important
that the silage be wei tramped. The
blower should be run few minutes
every morning in order to clear the
atmosphere before anyone enters the
silo.

portant points in filing q silo.
