Concrete machinery : Triumph, Wizard and Knox block machines . Use Concrete Blocks for Sanitary Fireproof Farm Buildings An example of what can he done with the products ofour Triumph Silo and Building Block Machines. reinforcement wire, consisting of No. S smooth wire or two orthree strands of barbed wire, is laid. A cement mortar is usedto lay up the blocks and the groove containing the wire isfilled up with this cement mortar to protect the reinforcementfrom rust. The key openings between the blocks are filled withthis cement mortar, which binds the blocks together and makesthe silo just as strong as any expensively built monolithic silo. Cost of Concrete Block Silo. The cost of making and maintaining a concrete block silo is very low in compari-son with other methods of construction. No painting and little, if any, repairs arerequired; there is no danger of the silo shrinking during the summer months andcollapsing or blowing over, and there is no possibility of destruction by fire. The silomade of hollow concrete blocks will keep silage in perfect condition. To build a silo 30 feet high and 1-1 feet in diameter will require 1,575 blocks. Youcan make the blocks yourself or have them made by your help in spare time and at acost not to exceed 8 cents each, with allowance for labor. See page 3. They can belaid up in the wall at a cost not to exceed 3 cents each, a total of 11 cents each forthe blocks laid up in the wall, or $ for the silo walls. A liberal allowance forlumber, carpenter work, excavating and ventilator would be $, so that a 30x14-foot concrete block silo would cost you, complete, about $ This estimate isvery liberal a
