STACK ENSILAGE.
'In building silage stacks a minimum size should be one of 25 .tons capacity, "with a preference for'so t6ns 'and upwards. The point alwaysto be remembered: is to so '. build; the stack as to ha™'a'minimum surface exposure in proportion to the quantity of material conserved. The following dimensions are recommended :—llase of 25-ton stack, 10ft. by 10ft.; of ,50,t0.60 tons stack,,l4ft. by lift.;, of 120-ton stock, ,18ft.-by 18ft. It is considered a mistake to build the stacks, too rapidly, and where a large quantity of ■material- is., available' the erection: of two or more staoks contemjorane.ously is advised. As long as the weather is nt for, machinery to n:ork, 'it .is immaterial whether the cut green stuff is damp at the time of stacking or not.
