This silo can be made on the farm
The forms are made OF wood with
front and back faces covered with
sheet iron. The hollows In the blocks
are formed by pieces Of wood 2 inches
thick, 10 inches long, Inches deep,
and slightly tapering, so as to be
easily removed after molding the
block. ~
To mold a block, the mold Is set
on It's side on floor or plank. The
wooden pieces are set on end on the
floor within the mold and in such a
position as to form the hollows where
they should be.
The wet material Is then thoroughly
tamped In around the wooden pieces
in the mold and smoothed of on top.
The wooden pieces are then taken out,
the molds carefully loosened, lifted
away from the block and set again.
The blocks can be used after ~ hours,
but It is much better to let them stand
week.
When the blocks are placed in the
wall they are reinforced by a No. 8
wire laid in the mortar above every
alternating tier.

suits, and eight have received freshmen
suits. Those who have been EIyen the
