Calculating Silo Capacity for Farmers
An old farming note explains a method to estimate silo capacity. It uses the formula half the diameter times itself times 8.1416 to get floor area, then multiplies by height for cubic feet. Example 10 by 80 feet yields about 2359 cubic feet with silage weight varying from 30 to 50 pounds per cubic foot, averaging around 40.

Apply a mix of dilute sulfuric and carbolic acids, menthol for severe itching, washing the area first. If unresolved, give two daily tablespoons of charcoal and hyposulphate of soda powder mix.

Current prices limit profit to feeding mainly corn to skim milk calves on pasture, with grain best fed after milk removal for better mastication. Breeder's Gazette notes.
