Conducted by Professor Henry G. Bell.
The object of this department Is to place at the
service of our farm readers the advice of an acknowl-
edged authority en all subjects pertaining to soils and
crops.
Address all questions to Professor Henry G, Bell, in
care of The Wilson Publishing Company, Limited, To.
ronto, and answers will appear in this column in the
order In which they are received. As space Is Ibnited
It Is advisable where Immediate reply Is necessary that
a stamped and addressed envelope be enclosed with the
question, when the answer will be mailed direct.
Question—G. L. L.:—(1) I would
like to learn a little about pit silos. I
think they have a groat many advant-
ages and would like to try one. State
how the gas trouble is overcome, and
how the digging and plastering are
' done
(2) Have we not been cautioned to
provide drainage for the inside of the
silo to prevent actual accumulation of
liquid. How can this be done in a
water -tight pit?
(3) Is there any simple way of re-
moving the silage from a pit silo.
Answer:—(1) Lowering a Iight into
the silo will soon discover the pres-
ence of gas, since if it is present the
light will go out immediately. The
gas is heavier than air; hence, if you
throw in a couple of feet of coarse
blocks or rocks there will be room for
the gas to settle at the bottom of the
silo and not occupy the volume where
the silage rests.
As to the digging and plastering, in
digging a pit silo the dirt can be
throw out to a depth of six or eight
feet, but it is best to throw it out to a
depth of about five feet and then true
up and plaster the walls. Otherwise it
will be necessary to build a scaffolding
inside the silo. Care should be taken
not to dig put too far, so that there
will be holes or uneven places in the
walls of the silo. It is best to leave
three or four inches at east to be re-
moved when the walls are finally
trued,
After you have excavated about five
or six feet and have the walls trued,
they should be plastered with a good
ceihelt mortar. The first coat can be
put on about a half an inch thick, and
should be made of one part cement and
three parts clean sand, and plastered
right on the dirt walls. If the
