FILLING THE SILO.

In distributing th«- silage the outer e<lg«‘ should lie kept ai*out two f«-t higher thau tbe center and kept etqiecially well packed.

In topping off the *ilo some use chaff or cut straw; others soak the top with water and »***1 with oats, which sprout and form a nearly air tight mat.
