of this is outside of a central space
for a silO 20 feet in diameter and II
feet high, with a capacity for $40 tons
of siIage, and in the NOW there would
still be an excess, o the capacity
of the rectangular barn. of 33 coo
cubic feet, which woui hold 66 tons
of hay, or as much as the entire NOV
of a barn 32x36 feet with 20-foot
posts.
The square feet Of floor space in the
round barn 90 feet in diameter and
rectangular barn 36x176 "a FEET are
the same, but the cubical content OF
the former is more han that of the
latter. The increase in the lumber
bill is % per cent in h plank frame
and So per cent in the mOrtise rame
barn. The round barn 80 feet in di-
ameter contains 2S3 n the rectan-
guIar barn 1926 lineal feet Of wall. The
rectangular barr has, therefore, SO
per cent more lineal feet Of outside
barn wall, requiring a proportional
increase in both paint and fOunda-
ton.
The smaller surface on the outside
wall of the round barn requires less
paint n makes a proportional saw
ing in keeping the round barn painted
in after years.
Owing to the fact that a silO is a
necessity for the most economical
production Of milk, a BARN is not
complete for a dairyman's purpose
unless it includes a silO with capacity
to store sufficient silage for the herd.
In the case of the round barn, the silO
is most economically bailt inside, but

a waste of space, and for hat reason
is best erected outside. Therefore, in
comparing a round dairy barn with a
rectangular dairy barn, silo should be
included.
In figuring the cost Of materials in
the silos for the round and rectangu-
lar barns. the capacity needed in each
case was determined in the following

and 20 pounds per COW per day for
8 months during the summer. would
require for 40 cows 220 tons: then
allowing One-eighth for waste would
make the silage requirement 24S tons.
AS the silo in the our barn 60 feet
need to be only IL feet in diameter to
mold 200 tons. This diameter is suff-
clentlv small to allow summer feeding
waste. To erect a silo outside
OF a barn. with sufficient stability to
stand we'll, the height above ground
should not be much more than twice
the diameter, and in order to avoid
waste for summer feeding, the diam
eter should not be greater than 1e
feet for a herd of 40 cows. In order
that a deep enough layer Of silage can
DE led OF each day during the summer
to avoid waste, it is evident that to
store ESQ o n Of silage outside the
barn, two silos would be required. One
of these should be 16 feet in diameter
and Sc feet deep, holding 154 tons,
and the other 13 feet in diameter and
36 feet deep. holding 1872 tons, max
ing a total silo capacity of 256 tons.
AS the large barns hold 100 cows,
the same allowance of silage per COW
for the season would require silo ca
pacity for go ons. AS the silo in the
round barn 80 feet in diameter would
be II feet deep, it would need to be
only 20 feet in diameter to hold $40
tons. To store $40 tons of Silage in
silOS built outside the rectangular barn
would require two silOs, each 20 feet
in diameter and "A feet deep.
