HOW TO BUILD A SILO. 



eter is to exceed 30 feet, but they should be set as close 

 together as one foot from center to center, as represented 

 in Fig. 6. This number of studs is not required for strength 

 but they are needed in order to bring the two layers 

 of lining very close together, so as to press the paper 

 closely and prevent air from entering where the paper laps. 

 Where studding longer than 20 feet are needed, short 

 lengths may be lapped one foot and simply spiked together 

 before they are set in place on the wall. This will be 

 cheaper than to pay the higher price for long lengths. All 

 studding should be given the exact length desired before 

 putting them in place.
