The Partition is an important part of a 

 Cow Stall. It is necessary to prevent a cow 

 from stepping on her neighbor and bruising 

 her udder or crushing her teats when she is 

 lying down. Also, to prevent her from turn- 

 ing sidewise and crowding an adjacent cow 

 or soiling an adjacent stall. No cow stall is complete without partitions and dairymen who have 

 tried to do without them have finally been compelled to use them. 



We make three different styles of partitions, as shown by Fig. 994. We recommend our No. 3 for 

 large and medium size cows and No. 5 for small cows. Nos. 3 and 5 are alike except that No. 3 is 6 inches 

 longer. By cutting off this extra 6 inches it will become a No. 5. No. 2 is fancied by some people, 

 especially those who have not had the greatest experience. We are the original designers of the No. 2, 

 but our experience has taught us that it is not as good as No. 3 or No. 5, for the following reasons: 

 1st. The triple bend makes it weaker than the single bend. 2d. It is harder to line up and will 

 not line up at all when the view is quartering. 3d. There is a liability of the cow being crowded on 

 to the flat part of the "Sway-Back" and hanging there so as to injure her udder. 4th. If the cow 

 should happen to get down under the partition it would be more difficult for her to get up from 

 under the No. 2 than the No. 3 or the No. 3. 



However, this is a matter for purchasers to decide. If you prefer the triple bend (the "Goose-Neck" or the 

 "Sway-Back" as it is sometimes called), to the plain Single Bend Partitions, we have nothing further to say. 

 The No. 3 partition will be furnished with all Louden stalls except the Go-Right unless otherwise specified. 



A section of a well-lighted dairy barn equipped with the Louden 812 Stalls, Tubular Steel Stanchions, 

 and High Built-Up Manger Curb. The cowa certainly look contented and comfortable.
