By J B DAVIDSON and M I KING)
The farmer who has been thinking
of building a silo should get into ac-
tion and the man who bus not been
thinking of the silo should think and
act promptly Because many farmers
are thinking “silo” these days the fol-
lowing points as to good silos are
worth keeping In mind :
The walls must be airtight
The walls must be smooth inside
The best type of silo Is round
The roof should be waterproof
The substances should be substan-
tial enough to stand great pressure
The silo with the exception of a few
types is of such construction that It
does not need the protection of a cov-
ered building It is not economical
to place a silo In a building where It
will occupy space which may be put
to other use
Unhandy Location
A silo located inside of a bul'-Ung
is often unhandy to fill The forage
cannot be delivered to the cutter con-
veniently By locating a silo outside
of the building and only connecting it
thereto with a passage provided with
doors the objectionable odor of the
silage may be kept out of the build-
ing By arranging the silo so as to be
connected to tbe feeding room with
a feedway It should be as convenient
for feeding as when located In the
building Itself A very common ar-
rangement Is to so locate the silo that
the passageway from the silo to bam
Is a continuation of the feedway in
the barn
The fundamental principle In the
preservation of green forage when
placed in a silo is the exclusion of
air It is the purpose of any silo re-
gardless of its construction to exclude
nir as far as possible from the silage
and In this way prevent decay
Construction of Walla
The foundation wall and In fact the
walls of the entire silo should be as
smooth as possible If due care is
used in tramping the silage during the
filling doors which extend Into the silo
are not a serious objection though
perfectly flush doors are certainly an
advantage
A vertical wall is tbe only satisfac-
tory wall to use as a wall inclined out-
ward will support the silage to a cer-
tain extent and prevent settling sat-
isfactorily thus creating air pockets
When the wall is inclined inward the
silage w(Il settle away from It In the
case of concrete silos with tapering
walls these should be vertical on the
Inside
The quantity of silage Increases with
the depth due to the weight above
The usual silo today Is 80 or more
feet deep A larger percentage of
moldy and otherwise inferior silage is
found near the top of the silo than at
the center or near the bottom prov-
ing that a certain weight is necessary
to compress tbe silage and exclude the
air so as to Insure its perfect preser-
vation Deep Silo Best
By building a deep silo a greater
percentage of good silage is obtained
w hich Is of course a matter of econ-
omy Good pructlce at present seems
lo dictnte that the depth should be at
least 30 feet A large percentage of
good silos are built considerably deep-
er even 50 to 60 feet
foundations should extend below
the frost line so If the earth inside
the foundation wull be excavated to
this depth and the floor placed oa a
level with the footings a very cheap
addition to the silo is secured without
increasing tbe height of the silo above
the ground
The difficulty iu removing the sil-
age from the part of the silo below the
lower door Is objectionable and be-
yond a certain depth the difficulty In
removing the slluge Is so great as to
more thun balance the economy of se-
curing additional space iu this way
Three or four feet up to the first door
Is not considered objectionable
Capacity Varies
The capacity of a silo varies ns the
square of the diameter while the wall
surface varies directly as tbe diameter
This means that as far as capacity Is
concerned the silo should be of as
large a diameter as possible
But there are other limiting factors
Involved When silage Is left exposed
to the air for a short time more than
a day It spoils Enough must be re-
moved dally so that it will keep fresh
In the well settled silage the air
does not penetrate much over an Inch
and If nn Inch and a half pr two Inches
are fed from the surface dally the
silage will remain fresh
In warm weather the spoiling will
ukt place much more rupldly tliun In
cold weather requiring that silage be
removed from the surface to a great-
er depth each day In order to keep It
fresh It has been noticed that air
penetrates Into loose dry silage far-
ther than it does into that which Is
moist and compact
Thus It is seen that under some
circumstances an Inch might be suffi-
cient but In order to have fresh sil-
age under all circumstances the silo
should be of such size that approxi-
mately two Inches will be fed from the
surface each day
Material for Foundation
Tile fouudation of any permanent
building should be constructed of dura-
ble material should be of sufficient
size to carry the weight of the
building and should extend below the
frost line
The merits of stone and concrete
for a foundation are so well and fa-
vorubly known that no general dis-
cussion of these materials Is deemed
necessary Cement mortar rather
than lime mortar should be used in
laying up all stone foundations
In extending a purt of the silo be-
low the surface the soil should not
be used as a part of the form The
concrete should be durable and eco-
nomical should contain only clean and
duruble stone gravel and sand Brick
foundations shollld only be hard-
burned brick laid in cement mortar
and when so built are considered sat-
isfactory ’
The weight on the foundation Is
practically only that of the wall and
roof For a concrete silo under 50
feet in height the width of footing need
not be over twice or three times as
wide as the thickness of the wall for
any kind of soil except soft clay or
quicksand
The heuving action of frost Is due
entirely to the moisture contained in
the soil which expands with an al-
most irresistible force upon freezing
For these considerations unless the
foundation lies In dry well-drained
soil a drain tile should ‘be used to
remove the ground wuter
Concrete Floor
A silo floor need not be thick or ex-
pensive as the weight of the silage
though very great is distributed even-
ly over the surface and would be Just
us firmly supported if the floor were
not used
A door for filling large enough to
admit the carrier or elevator from
the ensilage-cutter should be placed
iu the roof A simple trapdoor may
be used for this purpose but a dormer
window with glass Is preferuble
Some light should be admitted to the
silo for if not it will be necessary to
use a lantern when removing the
silage
A silo door should form uu airtight
Joint with its frame and be flush or
smooth on the inside In addition it
should be convenient for the removal
of siluge and of a size to permit any
person to enter the silo
Most patent silos are now provided
with continuous doors which are only
obstructed by the hoops or burs ex-
tending from side to side Often
these connections or hoops are so
close together that the so-called con-
tinuous door Is of little advuntuge
over doors of larger size placed In the
silo wall at Intervals above one an-
other SWEET CLOVER CROP
ASSISTS FERTILITY
Yields Larger Amount of Hay and
Improves Condition of Soil-
Aid to Drainage
Besides yielding a larger crop of
hay than other legumes sweet clover
Improves the condition of the soil and
Increases its fertility For these rea-
sons It inay become a valuable acquisi-
tion Observations made by the Ohio ex-
periment station show that the main
roots of this crop often extend nearly
three feet below the surface thus
breaking up the soil and aiding In
drainage especially of heavy clay
soils These studies Indicate thnt
more of this crop than ordinary red
clover lived through tbe drought of
1916
Large amounts of organic matter
may be added If sweet clover la plow-
ed down even eight months after seed-
ing Because It Is a leguminous crop
n store of nitrogen may also be added
when It Is given R place In the crop-
ping system

The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement
to secure the necessary help at once Canada will give
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF

and allow the time of the farm laborer who has filed on the land to
apply as residence duties the same as if he actually had lived on it
Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time
to complete duties Two years instead of three as heretofore but
only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917
This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment
for military service but solely to increase agricultural output A won-
