About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ...to 250 casks of sea gulls for fodder, which they prepare by burying them in the earth awhile." Silos, of course! DRY SILOS. A correspondenfof Forestry (England) thus describes what he calls a dry Silo: "Other materials'than green food considered unfit for cattle food and used mostly for litter, such as straw, fern, etc., may be packed in the dry Silo. Rye straw thus treated in a proper fashion makes an Ensilage which all stock like, and is"a specially excellent fodder for cows in milk and lambing ewes. Old chalk pits with deep'sides, a close-sided shed or building, may be easily turned into such a dry Silo, or the open stack plan would serve. A Silo can be made in the bay of a barn by boarding up as high as the beam, with stout plank well secured and battened across. The process is as simple as it is old among sheep farmers of Essex and the eastern counties of England. The material, cut as short as possible, is carried, say into the barn, where a number of men and boys, each with a wooden hammer in each hand, ram and tread it hard; also finely powdered salt is scattered over it to the extent of one pound to the hundred weight of chaff; while water from a fine rose hose is at the same time gently showered'over it. In warm weather, and with dry chaff, a gallon of water to the hundred weight of chaff is used. When the chaff rises in the barn use only half this quantity of water. The whole mass of chaff treated is every night leveled at the top. Heavy planks are laid on at each filling and settling to compress it. I use chains fixed to staples in the barn floor; by fixing a screw jack to a link and taking a bearing on the planks, extra pressure is obtained. So hot does this chaff become after a few days that the hand cannot be comfortably held in...
