The Iowa Silo.

Two years ago the agricultural engineering section of the lowa experiment station invented a new kind of silo which was called the lowa silo. This silo is built of specially made hollow tile. It is as permanent as a cement silo and much easier to construct It costs no more than the best grade of stave silo and will last several times as long. Since this silo was first devised thirteen have been constructed in various parts of the state. A careful account was kept of the actual cost of construction. The manner in which the ensilage kept was also watched carefully. Without exception these silos are proving satisfactory.
