HOW TO BUILD A SILO. 



Fig. 2. — Showing three methods of making a sill or plate foi 

 Gurler or King Silo. A shows sill made of a single thickness 

 of 2x4's cut in two-foot lengths; B shows sill made of two 

 thicknesses of 2x4' s laid to break joints; C shows 2x4 sawed 

 out of 2x6 plank. C is the best method, since the sheeting then 

 fits the sill making a tight joint, whereas in A and B a tight 

 ■joint between sheeting and sill or plate cannot be secured. Ob- 

 serve that the sill is placed near the inner edge of the founda- 

 tion.
