SILOS AND SILAGE.

(2.) A wood silo costs less, and if well constructed will last for a great number 

 of years. 



(3.) Better material can be procured in British Columbia for the construction 

 of stave silos than in any other Province. The best stave silos are made of one- 

 piece staves. These can be procured from British Columbia lumber firms at 

 reasonable rates. 



(4.) Farmers are more versed in wood- working than in concrete. Consequently, 

 when home-made silos are erected, better silos are the result if the stave types are 

 erected. 



(5.) Stave silos can be easily repaired. If a faulty stave develops, it can be 

 replaced without much trouble. If a concrete silo cracks, it is almost impossible 

 to remedy it.
