COST AND KIND or slLo TO BUILD

The cost of building silos IN a given com.
muntty depends upon the prevailing prices Of
materials, labor etc From data gathered from
a number of farmers who have constructed
homemade silos In Louisiana the average cost
of staye silos IL from $3.50 to siTb per ton
capacity while that OF the concrete sIlo In
from $3.50 to $500 per ton capacity The
difference In price for the same kind Of silo ID
due TO the difference In the size-~the larger
the sile the smaller Ia the cost per ton capacity
In determining the Kind OF sllo to build the
availability and cost Of materials should be
taken into consideration. On account OF It's
durability the concrete clio wilI prove the
most satisfactory II IL recommended that this
type be constructed where the site Of the silo
is to be- permanent and where materials for
its construction can be had at reasonable
cost. The siaye and either makes Of wood

Some OF the most progressive dairymen n

J. larger number Of cattle can be kept

2 sage has beneficial effect upon the

2. Crops fed as silage will make more milk
