STORING FEED
Few dairy farmers have enough
space to store all the ' silage they
need for winter feeding. Ernest
Snalson-has four permanent type
upright Vice which have com
bined capacity of 240 tone. Two
years ago .Mr. Sneteon decided to
push out .a trench silo to 'store ad
ditional allege for his 40-cow dai
ry herd, He selected a well drain
ed snot, where: the clay soil was
hard,: but thus was so short that
he could not build masonry walls.
The dirt walla on this trench sflo
stood up so weU that hs stored
silage a second; year,: and ihey are
in good condition yet. This 200
oon trench, silo has served two
years 'at very little enpense. The
silage was tractor packed and Cov
ered with plastic; In. spite of the
earth wells, a good quality silage
J is being fed from this silo.
