Franklin Hiram King (June 8, 1848 - August 4, 1911)

If you have ever seen a typical round, tower silo, well this is the man who created the design.

Franklin Hiram King was an agricultural scientist, who taught at the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture in Madison. He established Departments of Farm Engineering and Soil Engineering while there.

In 1889 he designed and built a round, cylindrical barn, which was stronger than other forms and reduced spoilage. It became the model for the standard tower silo found all over the world today. Frank Lloyd Wright may have been influenced by King's geometric designs.

TRIVIA...DOUGHNUTS (Donuts)

Q. Which has more calories and fat and why -- a plain sugared doughnut with a hole in the middle, or a round jelly filled doughnut?

A. Jelly doughnuts have fewer calories and less fat than plain ring ones, while a ring doughnut might weigh less, it has a greater surface area exposed to the oil than a round one.


The first Trademarked_Name_1 doughnut was sold on July 13, 1937 in Salem, North Carolina.

The hole in the doughnut has been attributed to the Pennsylvania Dutch who punched holes in the original Dutch 'olykoeks'. The hole has also been attributed to a New England sea captain, Hanson Gregory, who, in 1847 punched holes in the dough because his mother's doughnuts were not cooked in the center. Neither of them were the first to have thought of the idea though. Archaeologists have found petrified fried cakes with holes in them in the southwestern U.S. in prehistoric Native American ruins. So doughnuts have been invented more than once.
