THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 333 W. 30th St„ New York 
Economy Silo. 
J T. S., of Virginia, asks for plans of 
• homemade wood silos. The “Common 
Sense” or “Economy” is quite popular 
here in Nebraska, where we have all kinds. 
This silo is built in octagon or eight-sided 
shape of 2x4 stuff, and the inside daubed 
with asphalt or pitch and covered with 
light rubber roofing. The heat and pres¬ 
sing of the silage softens the asphalt and 
sticks the roofing as tight and smooth as 
wallpaper. Run the strips up and down. 
The walls are built of 2x4’s cut so that 
one end only shows outside and all cut 
same length and on a bevel to correspond 
with the octagon shape. Spike each 
course to the one below it with laps at 
corners. Cut doors as you go up with 
bevel, so they can be pushed in and 
removed as silage Is fed. Or, you can 
hinge them on the inside. To protect 
the outside better it should be either heav¬ 
ily painted or covered with light roofing. 
Anyone handy with hammer and saw 
can build one of these silos, and it need 
not be all done at once either. A few 
courses can be put on during any spare 
time. It’s best to have a sawmill cut the 
stuff, as it should be uniform for best 
results. Middle West lumber yards fur¬ 
nish plans free to customers. Perhaps 
your local yard will do the same. A 
neighbor has one of these silos that has 
been giving splendid service for several 
years. * j. H. tubbs.

Concrete Stable Floor. 
In constructing a concrete floor for a 
horse stable I would slant the stalls from 
the manger to the gutter two to three 
inches; make the gutter 12 inches wide 
with slanting sides one inch deep. The 
alley-way should slant a trifle towards 
the gutter, so that a hose can be turned 
on and the floor flushed. The gutter 
should slant a trifle towards one end, 
with a drain or opening in the wall; alley- 
way floor should he corrugated slightly, 
or marked off in two or' three inch 
squares to prevent slipping. After the 
partitions in the standing stalls are built, 
I would make a portable floor the width 
of the stall of three-inch hardwood strips, 
li^-inch thick, held together with three 
or four bolts of % iron, with space 
between strips of half-inch. This allows 
removal of floor for repairs or disinfec¬ 
tion at any time. A cheaper and quicker 
way to use wood strips over the concrete 
would be when making the floor to lay 
three strips of 2x4 flush with concrete 
crosswise the stalls and nail strips half¬ 
inch apart to the stringers. I consider 
the wood indispensable for safety, clean¬ 
liness and warmth. Light and especially 
good air are of the greatest importance 
in a horse stable. I would rather have 
an old barn with a few boards off than 
many modern stables costing thousands 
of dollars that I have been in, where the 
ventilation has been neglected.

Horse Breeding in the Future. 
M ANY of the best of the Belgian horses 
have been confiscated in the present 
European war. The breed itself is 
practically obliterated, and the Percheron 
breed is menaced. These are two repre¬ 
sentative draft breeds in America. This 
means that hereafter America must rely 
on her own resources for breeding stock. 
It is said that a score of years will he 
required to re-establish these breeds in 
Europe, and in the meantime the best of 
our horses will probably he taken across 
the water to revitalize the destroyed in¬ 
dustry. It is the duty of every farmer, 
from his own financial point of view to 
breed better horses, to keep mares on the 
farm, and to encourage the horse breeding 
business in his community.
