Specially contributed notes describe trials in making ensilage from fodder by trench, timber boxes, above ground silos, and galvanised steel linings. Repeated failures due to leakage, moisture, air ingress, and corrosion led to conclusion that concrete silos best resist water and acids, while preserving fermenting fodder.
The article describes the evolution to a rectangular to box shaped silo, noting angles hinder packing and dirt. It details foundations four to ten feet deep, a height about twice the diameter, small access doors, and reinforced concrete silos about 18 feet diameter and 30 feet high for 100 tons capacity, with specific mix proportions and construction steps.
The article describes reinforced silo construction using indented steel bars at set spacings, walls four inches thick, tin roof and doors, and bars tied with wire for rigidity. It notes the Agricultural Department’s interest in promoting silos, with Perth firms urged to supply plans and estimates, and quotes a district cost under £2 per ton capacity in a context of potential widespread use.
The notice appears to be an informal advertisement or personal message from Madame C Kiewi promising hair dyeing services for two months. It mentions Gerald ton and district, a guarantee of success, and references Dr. Boyd's. The text is garbled with unrelated phrases and repeated names.
