If the silo is built out- doors in any of the Northern states, it is necessary to provide some special means to keep the silage from freezing in case this is considered a very objectionable feature. The silo may be inclosed by a wide jacket of rough boards nailed to four uprights, leaving the sec- tion of the silo where doors are, easy of access; the sj^ace between the silo and outside jacket is filled with straw in the fall; this may be taken out and used for.
