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 ";

After your posts .are placed
according. to :the depth and

tach 'the fir planking along the

inside of the post, then line
the silo with the sisaikraft
paper or polyethylene plastic.
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.

Apples Breathe
Did you know 'that apples
breathe, even after harvesting?
They breathe in oxygen and
give off carbon dioxide and
moistare just like humans do.
To preserve their fresimesS
and flavour they should be kept
as inactive as possible by stor-
ing them tin 'a• refrigerator or
other cool place. Temperature
they like best is between 35
and 40 degrees. Don't store
apples in the freezing compart-
ment of the refrigerator.

Lifting Dangerous
Lifting and handling mater-
ial 'is 'one of the major causes
of injuries in industrial plants
and factories. More 'than one-
third of 'the 'compensation cas-
es reported in Ontario in 1963
was caused by the handling of
material and improper lifting
procedures by the victims in-
volved.
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.

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. •

190-Gallen Limit
Grapes are ripe now and are in nlentifal supply. 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,

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.
Did someone detect a slightly different flavour and odour
hi that vintage of ohcarnpagnel Lucy vvoncleit and what was
it labelled?
