Show SEALING OF SILO IMPORTANT Satisfactory Plan Is to Husk Ears From Last Few Loads, Tramp and Moisten Well. Proper sealing of the silo is essential essen-tial in reducing the amount of waste silage. An easy and satisfactory method meth-od Is to husk the ears from the last three or four loads of corn that are to go into the silo, and run only the stalks and leaves through the cutter. When these last loads are tramped and soaked with 20 to 30 barrels oi water, the top will be well sealed and there will be only a thin layer oi waste. Moreover, there will be no eat corn in this waste, because it was husked out and made available foi other purposes. |
