274 MANUAL OF FARM ANIMALS 



In filling with corn there is a tendency toward an uneven 

 distribution of the ears ; these, being heavier than the other 

 parts of the plant, are blown to the opposite side of the silo. 

 To obviate this, many devices are employed, perhaps the most 

 simple of which is a long bag open at both ends and fastened 

 to the end of the carrier. By means of a small rope attached 

 to this bag the corn may be deposited in any part of the silo 

 desired.
