On a dairy farm a silo is almost a
prime necessity. Silage is succulent
adds variety to the ration, is relished
by the animals and promotes more
| healthful condition OF the digestive
system than when dry feed only is
supplied. For silo to be satisfactory
the walls must be air tight and suffi-
GENTLY rigid to withstand the pressure
to which they are subjected when the
silo Is filled with heavy green material
For ordinary silos filled with corn
silage this pressure increases eleven
pounds per square foot for each foot
In depth of the silo.
Corn for the silo should be cut
just before il becomes fully mature.
At that time there is still enough juice
In the stalks so that the cut or
shredded Material packs in the silo
firmly and yet there is not that earlier
superabundance of juice whose pres
ence tends to produce a very sour or
acid silage.
In building a reinforced brick silo at
the experimental station of West Vir-
ginia, an excavation was made about
four feet deep to the underlying rock
In order to secure a solid foundation
Then a cylindrical brick wall was laid
up four inches thick, cement mortar
being used. AS the wall was laid pod
wire nails, which previously had been
annealed by heating them, were i'm
bedded in the mortar with the ends
projecting from the wall about two
inches into the silo. Two nails were
used for each square foot of surface.
After the wall had stood a few days.
woven wire fencing was cut into
pieces of the proper length to go
around the silo, and the projecting
ends of the nails were clinched over
the wires so as to hold the fencing
