At the ficient cement, so that the wall is not too porous, the silage does not spoil, It requires some little skill to prop- erly build a concree silo. A farmer who has had no experience in con- crete work should secure the assist- ance of some one who has had such experieince before attempting to build a concrete silo. The two things to be especially. re- garded in building are to have an abundance of iron for reinforcement and sufficient cement in the mixture to make the wall: impervious to air. It is a good plan to go over the in- side of a concrete silo each year (or at least every second year) before filling with a mixture of cement and water. The mixture should be about the consistency of whitewash. This helps to close up the pores of the wall and to exclude the air. ( ; When the moist silage is put in, the present time, with both farm lands’ walls absorb moisture from the silage. and feed high in price, conditions are | quite different. When the ears of corn are husked in the ordinary way, and the fodder left in the field, from 60 to 70 per cent of the food value of the corn crop is taken with the ears, while 30 to 40 per cent remains with the fod- der, It is possible to utilize a small{ portion of this fodder by turning cat- tle into the stock fields in the usual manner. But every farmer knows’ that the benefits derived in this way are comparatively small. Size of Silo to Build.

Silage keeps better in a deep silo than in a shallow one, be- cause it is more firmly packed and at the same time more feed can be stored in the same space. Except with a very large herd it is, not advisable to build a silo more| than 16 feet in diameter. If more ca- pacity is desired, a second silo should be constructed. As a rule, the height of a silo should be at least twice the diameter.

The advantages of a concrete silo are that when once prop- erly built it is a permanent structure, and it not damaged by fire or wind or from drying out. It does not pre- serve the silage any better than does one with a wall of wood. On the other hand, if the concrete will is properly constructed, so that the air is kept out, the silage will be preserved in perfect condition.
