Riguiaden Park' __arkby„ ; .Lonsdale. , It is thus,, described :~" Ijoa-cpni^r pressing^b^r^w^h r^un^ ihlljelth/ee inches apart are passed, , though coiicr'ete foundations, : and M .fixQ4 t,Oj -besides of the silo chamber,!. iabout six feet apart. When. the silagelhas been put int > the chamber, a<> compressing beam made of two planks belted to- - gether and a groove left 'in :'.«iach end . to receive the compressing- bjaiW' is placed on the top, pressure is then applied by the Wilson' Furckfed Hydraulic Jacks' in the'fdllowihg manner :— The Jacks are fixed with a furcated claw, which is attached to a steel pin passed' through the 'holes in the compressing bars ; this pin gives the necessary resistance, so that when the jack is in operation pressure is brought" to' bear on the beam.. When it becomes necessary to lower the jack a pin is inserted immediately above the beam to prevent it from rising, and' the jack applied as before till the uecessary amount of pressure has been obtained. The jacks at each end of the beam are worked simultaneously so as to bring equal pressure to bear on the . silage. In the case of stacks, the pressure : bars are fitted to a wooden frame-work,,, and pressure applied as in the silos." tbere is some comfort in the thought that the production of ensilage is not dependent upon any of these patents, ingenious and valuable they may be. Pressure can be secured by a simple and very primitive process, and by any settler who wants it, apart from ' all patents. I -»-■--— —-Ml— —-^—--—-_^_^_^_^_^ I ; B. M.
