It took 13 days' work of a stone-mason, 43! days' work of laborers, and 28^ days' work for one horse, to excavate and build the stone wall and foundations for the Silos. On the tenth day of August I commenced building the Silo walls. These are 15 inches thick, built of con- crete in the following manner. First, 3x4 joists are set up at each of the angles, and also at intervals of about eight feet on each side of the walls. These scantling are placed eight feet apart, spruce plank 12 inches wide and I2 inches thick are set up on the inside of the scantling, which leaves 15 inches between the planks and the thickness of the walls. We are now ready to commence building the Silo walls. The concrete is made by mixing one barrel of. aa. — 3X4 inch scantling, to hold i] inch plank while building wall. b b. — Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bailey, John M.
