Excerpt from Silos: Construction and Service
During the past few years, I have had occasion to examine and to study the construction of a large number of silos in a dozen states, both in the East and in the Middle West. As the result of this study I have become thoroughly impressed with the belief that many of the mistakes and difficulties in the building of silos might be avoided if the builders had a more thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles of silo construction and the preservation of silage. There is no recent American book on silo building and none of any date which covers the many types'of silos now in use and gives details of their construction. There are a number of experiment station publications on the subject, but these are necessarily either brief in their treatment or limited to special types. It is with the object of presenting to the intending builder the principles of silo construction and the advantages and disadvantages of the different types, and more parti cularly of giving the actual methods of construction, that this book is written.
The first part of the volume takes up the fundamentals of silage preservation, descriptions of the different types of silos follow, and an explanation of the details and the con struction of all the important types. These details and the p ans and specifications are in nearly all cases from first hand knowledge.
