construction of a Trench Silo on
his farm in Camp 2, He is very
much interested in saving that
20 to 30 on feed costa which
a silo will enable him to do.
Mr. Henry v/ill use 1"' picnic
standing upright for the walla
of the silo. These will be
lined with asphalt paper for
J is i v, ' yerr, h sa rr- he
nay be able to concrete the sides.
If not, he probably v/ill use an
asphalt paint which has proven
successful in many silos for fill
ing cracks and surfacing the
boards.
Vi hen sowing oats and peas for sil
agc, the peas can be stepped up
to a pound of peas for each pound
of oats. This ratio will not be
successful for raking hay because
it is too diffcult to cure but it
does make fine silage and the
is j ■. lor ■; way in keep
ing up your so31 fertility.
You rave on feed and save on fer
tiliser with a silo. Your cows
will keep in better physical con
dition and give you more milk on
silage than on hay.
