Advocates a Block Silo.
Conover, Feb. %, 1915.


n Dear Editor: AS there are a
number of farmers in Villas county
who are greatly in need of a silo
aand who cannot afford a cement
zone, ! will give my idea OF poor
mans silo.
Take tamarack or cedar 4 to
Is inches in diameter; peel off the
bark and cut in lengths of IL
inches. Build the foundation OF
stone or cement about one foot
above the ground Then start
with the blocks; lay them in
.quick-lime mortar, putting in
about four inches on inside and
four inches on outside, leaving
four inches hollow in center of
blocks. This will make a hollow
wall and will be frost proof
Make the door frames of 2x12
plank and set in as the work
goes up leaving about one foot
between doors. Make door
frames SO that youc use double
doors. When youg get the height
you wish go or 40 feet put on
roof OF shingles or common build
ing roofing; then reinforce by
wrapping wire around the out
side about II feet apart. { That
old barb wire fence that has
caused so much trouble will do. J
Where the wires cross the doors
incase them in an inch gas pipe
and use same for ladder.
Then put on metal sheet lath-
ing inside and outside; fasten
well with staples; plaster with
cement inside and outside, then
put a coat of cement wash on
both sides to make it waterproof.
| think a silo built in this man
ner will stand the test and will
be more frost proof than a con-
crete silo and can be built for
about one-third the expense of a
concrete silo. c. Fl. BLoHM.

Dear Mr.. Menefee:


Dear Mr.. Menefee:
Just got through readino
the home news as well as
news from Eagle River. and
that you care a pretty n
bunch. 1t pleases me to see u
steps the Villas County News
our hustling Representatives
Gunderson are taking for the
vancement of Villas county
Farmers, in becoming in
ested in building silos are n
ing no mistake.
| want to tell you that
country where my parents
Ii miles northeast of Vans
is right up in the silo busin
tor almost every farm YOU cd
to has a silo-and a numberb
two; nearly all are build
cement.
| am the most surprised i
you ever saw over the imprd
ments of this section of the cd
try since the installation of 81
When | used to live here sd
ten or eleven years ago we cd
hardly make a living out of ei,
or ten COWS and 40 acresl

me now that s or 10 COWS bri
a monthly pay check of abb
$50, and Is COWS from S1O0
$l25. This could never bel
complished without a silo, !
that is why | am so enthusiast
over the TACT that so MANY VA

to build silos this summer.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1915-03-05
TOBACCO MARK EFT
continued From Page ~

for the United Cigar Manufacturers
Co., has again been buying heavily,
having made clear sweep of ten
mile stretch between Blue Ball and
Morgantown. The Eisenlohrs have been
among the other larger buyers, and the
Seed Leaf Tobacco Co. has bought very
heavily. The growers have been deliv-
ering as fast as possible, being anxious,
evidently, to get rid of their crops as
soon as possible. Purchasers of the
crop early in the season report that the
tobacco is in good condition, and that
cured in sheds appears to have done
better than that cured in more open
buildings.
The packers still complain of dull
trade. About the only customers they
have are the smaller manufacturers,
who are buying just as they need their
goods, for they are uncertain how long
the business they have is going to last.
That trade at the factories is slow may
be judged by the fact that at most of
them the hands are limited to making
a certain number of cigars a day.
