MATERIAL FOR SILOS
untreated Wood Found Subject
to More or Less Decay.
Deterioration Usually Occurs Near
Foundation Where Certain CondI-
tions of Moisture Favorable
to Decay Exist

Experience with silos built Of un-
treated wood has shown that they are
subject to more or less decay. Even
such durable material rs heart cypress
or redwood is not immune. Deteriora-
ton usually occurs near the founda-
ton Of the silos where certain condi-
tions Of moisture favorable for the de-
velopment Of the fungus Of decay ex-
ist. Decay may also attack sappy
wood In any portion Of the structure.
In 1913 about 1OO,OOOOOO board feet
Of high-grade lumber were used In silo
construction and the consumption Of
lumber for this purpose has been
steadily increasing ever since. The
Importance Of some kind Of preserva-
tive treatment to prevent decay in
wooden silos, therefore, has become
generally recognized. Several manu-
facturers Of wood-stave silos are now
making use Of preservatives so that
1t Is possible to purchase the silo ma
terial already treated.
OF the various preservatives in gen.
eral use, good grade Of coal-tar
creasote Is very satisfactory for pre-
serving timber. Almost any thorough
method Of treatment with this pre-
servative ought to add to. the life of
the silo. Superficial methods, how
ever, such as applying with brush,
dipping in the preservative, or spray

FEEDING TRIAL AT MICHIGAN
Field-sean Straw Found to Be supe-

therefore, has considerable feeding
value for sheep ut least, and 1t is
likely to have equal feeding value for
cattle and horses and to be no special
source of danger to either. In our
own experience, we have often
thrown small quantities of bean
straw out in the cattle yard, so the
cattle could eat it If desired. What
little there was of 1t they appeared to
eat with relish; no doubt because 1t
came rs change from their usual
forage. 1t is not likely, however,
that any kind Of farm stock will eat
it in large quantities because of It's
coarse nature. Also there will no
doubt be large percentage Of waste
left by the animals because of the
woody character Of the main stems
Of the bushes. 1t is In keeping with
good economical practice, however,
to allow the stock to eat such of this
straw as 1t may desire. 1t Is by
utilizing the unlaerchantable products
of the farm in this way, and converting
them into meat or other mcrchantable
products that the farmer adds to his
profits.

Ing are not sufficient. BY far the best
method is to have the slaves treated
with the preservative in a closed re-
tort under pressure, and when so treat
ed they should last indefinitely and
should be more satisfactory to the pur-
chaser.
Those who are considering the pur-
chaS" of treated siloS should investi-
gate carefully the methods used, and
II greatest permanence Is desired,
should choose only material that has
received a thorough pressure treat
ment. Silos built OF such material
have the additional advantage Of re-
ductiOn in the swelling and shrinking
of the StavcS; and, hence, they can be
Kept tight more easily. Another adj
vantage of SilOS built of well-treated
wood Is that they need not be painted.
