sILo NOTES..

In building silos there are severa
very important considerations which
must be kept in mind.
First-The silo must be alright. Il
it is not alright fermentation will sci
in and the bacteria will multiply sc
rapidly that the mass exposed will be
come heated and acid will form. Pu
reflective bacteria will then carry or
the work of the acid bacteria and sill
age will rot.
Second-The silo must have smooth
perpendicular inside walls so that the
mass can settle without forming cav.
tiles around the sides. If cavities
form this permits air spects which in
turn will cause the surrounding sill
age to spoil.
Third-The walls of the silo must
be rigid. There is lateral pressure
in the silo when the fodder settles and
if the walls are not rigid they will
spring thereby admitting air which in
turn would cause the decay of silage.
Capacity of SiIos-As a rule not over
forty pounds Of silage should be fed
daily per head. Forty pounds is the
average weight of one cubic foot OF
corn silage.
Assuming that COW is fed this
amount daily OH an average for a
season Of 1870 days. We nd that about
$50 or 100 cubic feet will be allowed
for each head, or approximately four
tons, because one ton silage will occll.
py fifty cubic feet.
If farmer is feeding 10 COWS he
should have silo that will hold 4C
tons.
If feeding % cows he should have
a silo that will hold 100 tons.
If the farmer who has a herd, and
no silo will give this subject fair con
sideration he will concede that its
adoption on his farm will be ONE of the
best business investments he can
possibly make.

The Times Record has mad called to
it's attention an error in publishing the
account of the meeting of the Board of
Railroad Commissioners in Valley
City last Thursday afternoon. The mis-
take was made in reporting the sub
stance of Mayor Platou's address re-
garding the High Line. AS the Times
Record understood Mayor Platou's
speech, he expressed himself in favor
of the High Line and moving all
trains to that point. 1t now appears
that what Mayor Platou urged was an
undivided service; preferably over the
down town tracks, with a new depot
built, but if this could not be obtain
ed under any circumstances to take
all of the trains to the High Line. The
Mayors idea was, anything rather
than divided service" The Times
Record is very glad to- correct its er-
rOr
