DIRECTIONS FOR PUTTING IN AND RE- 

 MOVING THE SILO GOVERNOR. 



The governor is made of i-inch pipe, with 

 holes % inch in diameter and 6 inches apart, 

 along one side of the pipe. The pipes are 

 arranged in frames around the inside of the 

 silo, about 3 feet from the walls, with 1 54-i nc h 

 pipe across the centre of the frame. In the 

 centre of this pipe is a _L to turn up, in which 

 to screw the perpendicular pipe, if it is to come 

 up in the centre of the silo through the forage. 

 In the centre of the bottom governor, the T 

 turns down to enter the drip pipe, which runs 

 from the centre of the silo, declining about 6 

 inches, to any convenient place outside the 

 wall, under the cemented bottom, the outside 

 end of the drip pipe terminating with a stop- 

 cock, to draw off the juice ; also, a JL in which 

 to screw the perpendicular pipe which comes 

 up outside the wall to any convenient height, 

 usually to 2 feet above the barn floor, for con- 

 venience in measuring the juice and to have 

 the stop-cock and outlet under cover, to avoid 

 frost.
