table, but the curve is smoother and longer and is verified by the 

 weights of silage obtained at Nebraska. If it is assumed that 

 silage settles lo per cent after filling ceases, the Nebraska and 

 King methods of computing capacities correspond very closely. 

 It will be noticed in comparing King's table of weights with 

 the Nebraska table that the latter is from iij4 to 13 per cent 

 lighter than the former. The amount of silage which has been 

 weighed into four different silos for the last six years indicates 

 that the Nebraska table of weights is very nearly correct, but if 

 anything, a fraction of a per cent too heavy.
