LINSEED OIL REDUCES
SILO WALL PITTING
Boiled linseed oil is quite ef
fective in reducing the damage
to silo walls caused by silage
acids, say University of Mis
souri agricultural engineers
They advise that the first of
two coats should be thinned
with equal parts of turpentine
to give increased penetration.
The second coat is applied
without thinning after the first
has thoroughly dried. Spots
where the oil has been absorb
ed should be given additional
coats.
The last coat should be al
lowed to dry at least two weeks
before the silo is filled.
One gallon of linseed oil will
cover about 200 square feet.
