A common way to preserve corn fodder, and a very good one. is to set common fence posts on the side or top of which, according to the height of the corn, spike one or more poles. Set the corn against these, making a long rick of it. After eight to ten feet, more or less, of corn fodder ha been placed on each side of the poles, if the last rows of sheaves have been set with a pretty flat angle, you will be able to place another row of sheaves with the butts ubout on the bands of the last row of nheaves (as shown in fig. 1). In this way you will have a narrow, ratlitr low stack, but th shcavci will be ret at inch aa aente angle and the middle will be o supported by thepol that the fodder thould not be injured It is eve when' tli' -i tire- '," s; less. :;. ,1 1.

The argument was that this would cook the silage, and, if the silo were thin tightly closed, give it just about the conditions under which, fruit or vegetables are canned. This suggestion was laughed at ns absurd. From time to time we have seen re ports of the use of steam for preserv ing stock food. In one case nn English farmer had a quantity of musty or damaged hav.

Now we find in l'lilletin Xo. 72 of the Oregon experiment station (Corvallis) an interesting account of steaming silajje. The silos, made purposely for the experiment, were constructed1 of well seasoned yellow fir dressed tongue and groove lumber 1 inch thick, 3'2 inches wide und 13 (eet long. When completed the kilos measured approximately five feet in diameter and 12 feet deep. They were con st ructed plain, having no doors, so that the only way of filling and emptying them was by way of the top of the silo. Five such silos were constructed; two of them. Xos. 1 and 5. were fitted with l'j-inch piping so that they could be steamed after being filled. The picture clearly shows how the steam pipes were connected. In one ease the steam was delivered near the bottom only. The other was fitted "so that steam could be liberated in the silo within two indies at the bottom nt 0, and also midway between the bottom and top at F. The upright pipe EF in the silo was covered with a cap at V so as to prevent fodder from full ing Into the pipe. Ten to 13 holes three-eighths-ineh in. diameter were drilled in the pipe near the cap at F ns outlets for the steam. The elbow nt G turns directly down and conies to w it hi n about two inches of t lie hot torn of the silo.
