Follow Nine Rules
For Safety in
Silo filling can be danger
ous business The Hazards of
this farm job have become
more serious as mechanical
equipment has replaced hand
la^or.
The chopper has replaced
the binder and self-unload
ing wagons have done away
with the practice ot pitch
ing bundles. The work is
done at high speed now. A
job which used to require a
week 6r two is finished in a
fraction of iA that time. This
speed of operation makes the
need for safety even more
important.
Nine rules for silo safety
fpllow:
1 Keep silo ladders clean
and in good repair.
2. Frosty ladders are slip
pery. Use of the silo chute
as a ventilating shaft will
result in frost on the ladder
and will cause ’ rapid deter
ioration of the chute and the
silo doors.

space between the _ silo roof
and wall seldom provides ade

ventilation is not possible,
install a dormer window ov

ventilators open during silo
filling and when you are tak
