The following table shows how much silage is required to keep different 

 numbers of cows for 180 days, feeding 40 It), per day, and the dimensions of 

 silos and area of land required to furnish the feed given. The capacity in 

 tons is estimated after all shrinkage has occurred. 



If a silo be filled gradually with matured corn, and, after settling has 

 taken place, filled again and again if necessary, it will hold far more than 

 when filled rapidly and not refilled after settling.
