SILOS OF REINFORCED
HOLLOW CLAY BLOCKS
MONEY MADE IN TWO WAYS.
Hove Proven Extremely Satisfactory and Present Pleasing
Appearance of Solidity, Durability
and Permanency.
The use of hollow clay building
blocks properly reinforced for silo
construction have proven extremely
satisfactory In every particular, and
after extensive and thorough Investi-
gation and the building and testing of
numerous silos, tho Agricultural en
gineering department of the Iowa ex-
periment station heartily recommend
their use.
The fundamental principle involved
In preservation of silage Is the reten-
tion of moisture within the silage and
Silos and Dairy Barn.
the exclusion of air. For this reason,
the silo wall must be non-porous.
Moisture must be prevented from pass-
ing out and air from passing in.
Hard burned hollow clay building
blocks will not absorb a large amount
of water. Moisture Is not readily
transferred through a wall of such
material. It is recommended that only
blocks which have a low absorption be
used for silo construction. Blocks of
this kind are more durable, and a silo
built of them will preserve silage
better.
After due consideration to all other
points of merit to be found in silos,
the most desirable silo is the one that
Is the most durable and will give the
longest term of service. The dura-
bility of a silo depends, first upon its
strength, and second, the durability of
the material used in its construction.
To be durable, any material must
resist the action of the weather, tho
constant wetting and drying, freezing
and thawing in the winter season, and
any disintegrating action which may
be due to the silage itself. Some ma-
terial will disintegrate with age, and
other materials suffer from rapid de-
cay when subject to the warm, moist
conditions which exist in the silo.
The walls of the Iowa silo are con-
structed of hollow, vitrified clay build-
ing blocks which, as far as weather
resistance is concerned, are as durable
as any building material which can be
obtained. This does not mean that all
hollow building blocks are durable, for
there are good and bad blocks on tho
market. Good blocks are so plentiful
that no one need make the mistake of
selecting blocks of questionable merit.
The roof of the Iowa silo, like the
walls, is made of durable material. A
when properly constructed, should be
as durable as the walls themselves.
The materials used in the Iowa silo
will resist decaying disintegration, the
action of frost, and any implied or real
action of the acidity of the silage.
Even the steel which Is placed in the
mortar joints ana concrete door frame
as reinforcement, is thoroughly pro-
tected from rust. So carefully has the
matter of durability been considered
in the design of the Iowa silo that It
would be difllcult «o estimate its life.
When carefully built It ought to la6t
for several generations.
The doors of the Iowa silo are de-
signed to be made of wood. They will
decay and must be replaced after sev-
eral years. The convenience and low
cost of the wooden doors, which may
be easily replaced, Justifies their use.
The Iowa silo when properly con-
structed is practically free from any
expense for repair and maintenance.
The only possible expense may be the
occasional washing of the Inside of the
walls at Intervals of not less than
five years, with a cement wash and the
replacement of the doors after they
have become rotten from UBe.
An ideal silo must have rigid walls.
It must be strong enough to resist the
bursting pressure of the silage. This
acts outward in all directions as the
silage settles. The friction of the

Senator Depew, on the deck of the
Lusltanla, talked about "English as
she Is spoken in London."
"It 1b very difficult to understand
that London English," he Bald. "I
know a man who had lodgings all July
In liloomBbury, near the British mu-
seum.
"On his return from the museum
one afternoon, my friend said to his
landlady:
" 'Can I have a cup of tea, if you
please ?"
"'Certainly, lr; at once,' the land
lady replied. The kettle 'as been
bi'lln' for 'ours.'
" 'But—er—I prefer freshly boiled
water. If you don't mind,' stammered
my friend.
"The landlady reddened with anger.
" 'Look ere,' she said, 'if I 'ad meant
wot you mean I'd 'ave said h-ours.'"

Boston Journal told recently of an
amusing "break" of a wholly Innocent

It shows anything, It shows that a
thorough training in the Biblq is use-
ful in other walks of life than the
ministry.
The reporter had been sent to a
suburb to report a sermon He ar-
rived late, near tho close of the serv-
ice, and took a seat near tho door.
When tho last hymn was over, he
asked his neighbor, an elderly gentle-
man :
"What was the text of the sermon?"
"'Who Art Thou?'" replied the
other.
"Boston reporter," replied the other.
The man smiled. Subsequently he
told the preacher, who next Sunday
told the congregation at the cub's ex-
pense.—Youth's Companion.

but it is strongly advised that the con-

One common mistake met with in
silo construction Is that the doorframe

The door frame of the Iowa silo is

silage against the wall, and the weight
of the wall produce a crushing action
which is great near the bottom of the
silo. A silo when empty should be
heavy enough ot stand against heavy
| winds. The inside of a siio wall
should be reasonably smooth to per-
mit the silage to settle freely. If the
wall is not smooth or if there are
shoulders or offsets on the inside sur-
face air pockets will be formed and a
considerable loss of silage will result,
The Iowa silo is rigid enough and
heavy enough so that it is not affected
by wind. Enough steel reinforcement
is laid in the mortar joints to carry
the entire bursting pressure of the
silage with a reasonable amount of
safety.
The silo built of hollow blocks is
perfectly ilreproof. It Is hard to see
how it could be even slightly dam-
aged by a fire. Silage was fed from
one of the Iowa silos within twenty-
four hours after all tho adjoining
buildings had been burned from
around it, leaving it unharmed and
containing the only feed stuff saved
from the fire. Hollow, vitrified clay
building blocks are widely used for
fireproofing purposes.

Apropos of the enmity, now happily
buried, that used to exist, between
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Senator
Clapp said at a dinner in tho former
city:
"I remember an address on careless
building that I once heard in Minne-
apolis.
" 'Why,' said the speaker in the
course of this address, 'one inhabitant
of St. Paul is killed by accident in tho
streets every 48 hours.'

the hall Interrupted:
