. A book on silage. Silage. SILOS. 63. FIG. 13. ROUXD WOODEN SILO. Dormer window kept open for ventilation when silo is in use. THE NEW JERSEY EXPERIMENT STATION SILO. (See Fig. 14.) The silo has a capacity of 150 torxs; it is 21 feet inside diameter, and 24 feet deep, with a brick foundation 1 foot wide and carried 2 feet below the surface of the ground; the bottom is cemented and is IVs feet below the sills. The sills are made from 2x6 studding, cut on the slant of a radius of the silo circle, bedded in mortar and toe- nailed together; the plates are made in the same way and spiked to studs which are 2x4 inches, and 1 foot apart. The lining consists of two thicknesses of half-inch spruce boards with tarred paper between. The siding consists of one layer of boards as above, covered with cedar shingles; holes bored between each stud and covered with wire netting permit a circulation of air between the sid- ing and lining, which aids in the preservation of the lin- ing. The structure is roofed, as shown, with dormer win- dows for filling and with ventilating cap and is joined to the barn with a passage and floor 6x8 feet, also roofed. Four doors, 21/^ feet square are cut in the siding for.
