If good hay is fed liberally, much less silage is consumed, Tuck In. Silage The sisaikraft paper liner and plastic cover helps keep the silage from- spoiling, -so be sure to "tuck in" your .silage when filling . the silo. It'S also a good idea to keep heavy equipment at least three feet away from the silo sides, when, filling 'to :help avoid. bowing out the sides; this area can be tamped down 'by walking on it. You'll need the following ma- terial for a 120-Toot-long silo: 20 redwonod posts, 4"x6"x8'; 12 redwood posts, 4"x6"x9'; .44 bolts, 34"x6"; 90 wash- ers, 3/2 "; 15 pieces' No. 1 fir, 2"x6"x16'; 275 feet electric weld 2"x4" x4" mesh 11 gauge galvanized. wire; Three rolls sisalkraft, 666 sq.

Be' sure to let enough of the liner drape over the 'top of the fence so there will be enough to 'fold together with the top cover for a good, weatherproof seal.

Holds 497 Tons You'll want a silo to suit the size of your herd, since spoilage occurs fairly rapidly when the silage is exposed to air. In most rases, a daily removal of six inches of 'silage from the ex- posed face 'is enough to stay ahead of 'spoilage if the silo is well at filling. The fence bunk silo is 120 feet long, 24 feet wide. The fence on both sides is five feet high. When this silo is filled to a depth of six and one-half feet at 'the ,top of the centre crown, it holds 497 tons of silage. Silage piled to nine feet, three inches in the same silo amounts to 835 tons. In a 120-foot silo' holding 500 tons, an average of two tons a day needs to be removed to keep abreast of spoilage. If filled to 835 tons, six inches of the 'exposed face would amount to 31/2 tons. A 500-ton silo should provide enough silage A fence bunk silo with pro, tective lining can provide you with efficient and economical storage for silage. • Flexible and well-suited for varying volumes. of silage, it can be built at a. low enough cost to justify it for one-time use. ' But tests show it can he used for a number of years if you replace 'the sisaikraft paper lining and -plastic; cover film periodically. I. MUM The above diagram shows how you can make your own low-cost Fence Bulk Silo. The materials required are so inexpensive the project is considered to save money even if the silo is used for one season only. • Do-It-Yourself Project How To Build A Low Cost Fence Silo Every day local branches of the chartered banks extend credit so that businesses can fill orders, take on contracts weeks or months before payments start coming in.

And since the grape! is coninronly used for wine making, it might be best to start --With it if you wish to serve a glass of•homernade wine to girests, According to; col. Charles E, Woodrow, solicitor for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, 100 !gallons .of .wine'oan be made in one's home Without .a permit. If you wish 'to make more, one applies to Norman Brown of the Investigation 9:orb-matt of the liquor Board. The Ontario Department of Agriculture. publication 321 (•reyised ito March 1960), "Wine making in small quantities" is interesting, Bat first, • Lucy Sheald list the warning in small print from page 1-; The Pine Print Says: "Any resident of Ontario over the age of 21 years; may make and haVe in his residence; homemade ,wine for the use of .himself and his family, in such. reSidence "It is unlawful to sell from wine, . Homemade wine May :not be moved from the residence in Which it was produced Without written .authority of the Board." The. booklet lists the various grape varieties with. their average sugar content and various flavours. The higher the sugar content, the more alcohol in the wine! That is of course, if it doesn't turn to vinegar, The Correct Procedure Lucy Nvias particularly interested in the correct pineedure, 'Reading it she noted: "Crushing can be done with the hands', a potato masher, the wringer of a washing machine or any other clean, suitable instrument". She wondered why tramp- ing them in a 'tub with one's bare feet was not included in the list, In the wine-making countries, bordering the Mediterran- ean, the Festival of the Grapes is celebrated when girls and women get into 'the vats and tramp the grapes for Wine. Lucy's mother Made delicious wine-'in fact she vied with several other ladies for prizes at the Bayfield Fall. Fair until', Local Option came into force here and that item was re- moved from the prize list. Fair Fair Judging Her father was 2nd vice-president and one , Fair day when he was ;hurrying through 'the hall on some errand, a gentleman from Clinton, one of the judges, hailed him: "Here, Doctor, come and taste this wine. • "It Touches The Spot" Dr, Woods drank the 'proffered sample of his wifeis entry, nodded his head and left the Judges to make their dlcisions as if he'd never seen thqt bottle before! There wasn't much Tett in it When 'the judging was over, but a 'big red 'ticket was tied around the neck of the bottle. While Lucy's mother usuafly had very good luck, there were tares when the temperature control was. not perfect and acetic acid formed, producing 'a 'fine red, vinegar, It seems to have been when she made more than a gallon or two at a time. 15-Gallon Flop Once there was an extra heavy crop of Clinton grapes. Lucy picked them and she—helped squash them until there was a „quantity sufficient for abaft eight gallons of wine, Her 'mother used a 15-gallon wooden keg Which she placed 'behind the little old wood-burning stove in the kitchen. That stove threw a tremendous 'heat! The result was vinegar —much to Lucy's disgust. Not that she liked grape wine-- she preferred dandelion-buit it was just the waste of time and energy! Then the last 'grape wine her mother' made at "The in a five-gallon crock, went the same way! The Secret's In 'Aging: There .is an art in making 'home-made wine. But the secret of a fine smooth flavour lies in the aging process. Lucy's mother usually made in small quantities' and stored it for several years before serving it to guests. Once when Lucy was 'in ,her early 'teens, her mother served dandelion wine with a piece of fruit cake' when a gentleman called on her husband. Lucy was seated at the, •sitting room table doing her school homework—supposed 'to be "seen and riot heard" in those days! 10-Year-Olcl Batch She refused the cake her mother passed, but asked for some dandelion wine. Her mother said, "I'll give you some grape." "No," insisted Lucy, "I don't like grape wine. It 'is too sweet. Dandelion, please!" So reluctantly 'her gentle mother brought her a glass. It wasn't full but Lucy didn't dare complain. She slipped the Wine, enjoying 'its fine flavour, and con- tinued with 'her Studies while her' elders chatted. And then, quite suddenly her head began to wag from side to side, And it rose right up in the air like Alice' in Wonderland. She had sense enough to keep still until the feeling passed. Atter the guest left, she was reproved for insisting on dandelion wine—that bottle had aged for 10 years!! "Why didn't you tell me, it Was too strong for me?" asked Lucy. "One doesn't Make such explanation's in front of visitors," she was told. Leave It To The ,Law Every brew of 'homemade wine has a slightly different flavour. There art terms mentioned in the pamphlet for wines made from grapes in the Niagara Peninsula such as "Labrusca" and "Muscat", "Flowery" and "fruity" refers to eertain odours and 'tastes whlich are present in senle wines and resemble the fesh grape character. Even 'hi wine-making countries such as Spain, a manzan- illa IS never made, It happens rarely in the general process of making sherry. It is highly' prized: Dr. Woods shipped home a very small keg of it, procured •from a friend in Dublin, Ireland, in 1911, ft was packed inside a much larger keg with straw between, The consignment earte 'to the ClistOMS at Seaforth. stead' of Waiting for the consignee to go out and Clear it, the Custoins Officer bored into the barrel with an auger to tap it, He 'tapped it all alight! 1Vlost of ft soaked out into the straw. There Was only about t quart left! As The Story Gees . . . Many years ago when an apple evaporator Was in opera- tion in Bayilield,, the peelings and cores were sold and shipped to France for making champagne, Lucy's husband recounted a. story told to his mother by a la-dy living about half way, to Goderich. There was sleigh- ing south to Bayfield and no snow north to Goticrith. Slci on this occasion, the teamsters, haruling the peelings and cores loose in the sleigh boxes put their horses into the barn at this farm, 'than shovelled their loads from sleighs to wagons for the remainder of the trip to the shipping point at `Code,' rich, A.tad, wearing 'the same foot gear in which they stabled their teams, the men got up into the wagon boxes and tramped down the contents.
