SILOS AND ENSILAGE. 



CHAPTER VII. 

 MESSRS. BUCKLEY'S EXPERIENCE IN ENSILAGE. 



BY M. C. WELD, IN "AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST" FOR NOV. 1880. 



The good result which many persons obtained last year 

 in pitting, corn fodder, leads this year to the making of 

 many pits, or silos, for this purpose, all over the country.

So that if there is the least question as to the utility of 

 this process for the preservation of corn fodder, it will 

 be soon set at rest by a thousand experimenters. 



I was much interested in witnessing the filling of the 

 pits built by the Messrs. Buckley Brothers, of Port Jervis, 

 N. Y., whom I visited about the middle of September.
