Synopsis
Excerpt from Silos for Preserving British Fodder Crops Stored in a Green State: Notes on the Ensilage of Grasses, Clovers, Vetches, Etc
The consequence has been that the volume has been much expanded, and a number of supplementary pages have had to be interpolated (pp. 160a to 16op) because, the last half of the book having been printed first, in order to afford an opportunity for direct reference to the numerous experiments commented on, the allotted space was considerably overrun by the after growth of material, notwithstanding the omission of the greater portion of the contents of the previous edition, so far as they related to experiences abroad. Altogether the volume has become nearly twice the thickness of that of last year, despite the great amount of condensation the reports of experiments have undergone; nearly three-fourths of the matter in the present issue was not included in the first edition; and the amount of correspondence and extracts which have perforce been laid aside, would have sufficed to make a second volume of equal bulk.
One result of this expansion has been to make it obvious that this book is much too voluminous to meet the require ments of persons who wish to gain a general knowledge of the process without going deeply into details and, as some landed proprietors have expressed a wish to distribute among their tenantry a small publication affording such particulars, a selection has been made from the pages of this work and issued as a cheap pamphlet under the title of Short Notes on Silo Experiments and Practice.
