 as they go, and screw them together. Take 

 your centre i% in cross-section, unscrew the 

 right and left coupling, and screw each half 

 into the opposite sides. Do the same at both 

 ends. Then turn these two halves bottom- 

 side up, and see that all the %-inch holes are 

 on top. Then turn them over again, screw 

 the right and left couplings together, then 

 your perpendicular pipes. The frame is then 

 ready to be placed in the centre of the silo. 

 See that your centre governor is placed a little 

 more than half-way up, fastened to the skele-

 ings. When you again find it, in removing 

 the forage, it will be more than half-way down. 

 Remove the governor as you come to it, un-

 frame together, sawing or breaking away the
