It will vary according to thematerial used in the construction, the carewith which they are built and the protec-tion they receive afterward, especially when not filled. The best stave silos willgo to pieces if the hoops are not kept tightwhen the silo is empty. The most convenient height to make astave silo is thirty-two feet above the gives an opportunity to use sixteenfoot stuff to advantage. In building asilo sixteen feet in diameter it is only nec-essary to use two lengths of staves, ashort length, eight feet, and a long length,sixteen feet, in order to break joints at dif-. PLAN or ^ILO ferent heights. If larger silos are built itis a good plan to use enough four foot andtwelve foot lengths of staves so that youhave only one joint to two solid staves onone level. Where only two lengths areused as in this plan the joints and solidstaves come alternately, but even thismakes a very strong structure when thehoops are pulled up tight as they shouldbe at all times. The staves should not be wider thaneight inches. The edges should be straight RADFORDS PRACTICAL and true, the bevel carefully made on asticker and turned up with a hand pointerby a competent workman. The bevel isvery important. Where the edges of the venient to use staves all of the same may be from six to nine inches wide,but they must come in pairs or sets ofthree of the same width together. Wherestaves are used of different widths thesystem
