land, feed and stock has been so high.
Farmers have turned their attention
to the silo in recent years as a means
of helping them solve their feeding
problems. ,1D
The silo is no longer an experiment.
1t has been used successfully in Mis-
souri, since 1885. The number of
silos in use have greatly increased
each year, until now there are very
few neighborhoods in the state that
do not have at least one silo. The
drouth of 1911 demonstrated the silo's
use so clearly that when the drouth of
1918 came along many farmers turned
to the silo as a means of solving their
problem of short feed. The value of
silage as a feed is not doubted by
many.
The kind Of material from which a
silo'is constructed does not affect the
quality of the silage. Any kind of
material that is strong enough to with
stand the pressure of the silage, is
alright and has a smooth inner wall,
so that the silage will settle without
the formation Of air pockets. will keep

How to make what is ordinarily se6
dollars worth of feed worth 800 is
something every farmer is interested
in. A large number of farmers did
this last year, when the drouth cut
the corn crop almost in half. They
did it by putting their cor in silos.
About 65 per cent of the feeding
value of a corr crop is in the grain.
Thirty-five per cent is in the shucks,
blades and stalk. Few farmers ever
waste any of that 65 per cent, the
grain, because it is easily handled
and is completely consumed by cattle.

that the thinner the animal at the be-

cattle in thin condition was 7.3

anyone handy with tools. 1t is built
very much like a house. Studding is
set up on a foundation and sheeting is
nailed on the inside of the studding in
a circular position. This sheeting
furnishes the reinforcement to with
stand the outward pressure. Strips. or
lath are nailed on the inside of the
sheeting to hold the plaster that
should be put on. This plaster is
made of cement and sand. Being the
inner lining of the silo, which is cir
cular, the plaster cannot fall off. The
plaster makes the silo alright and
gives it the smooth wall that is neces-
sary. 1t does not dry out and crack
in the summer.
This type of silo is one of the cheap
est satisfactory silos that can be built.

county, 14x30 feet, was built at a cost

who are building these silos with ma

average to be $500, including labor.
