Louden Go-Right Stalls in a Government Dairy Barn 



The illustration shows an interior view of the dairy barn of the Haskell Institute, the great Govern- 

 ment Indian School at Lawrence. Kan. Eighty-one Louden Go-Right Stalls are used together with 

 Louden Calf Pens, Cow Pens and Bull Pens, and Feed and Litter Carriers. 



The following letter, written by Mr. McArthur, dairyman at Haskell Institute, gives the opmion 

 of the users: 



Gentlemen: , , , _.,,,., j u j 



The Louden Equipment has been put to the test with inexperienced help. The Indian boys were inexperienced, had no 

 training, which together with a herd of young cows, was very trying regarding strength and utihty. I will confess that 1 

 had fears that our Indian boys would be too reckless and careless and would therefore cause considerable breakage but 

 to my surprise, the hard strain of a winter's use with 125 head of cattle, there is not the least repair needed in stanchions 

 bull, cow, or calf pens. You remember we hung up 96 feet of Go-Right to pull with one lever, which you were atraid 

 would be too hard to handle. It works easily, and the boys handle it with one hand. ■ • c 



The High Curb with cut-out for stanchions is great from a standpoint ot econ- 

 omy, as the cows can't possibly waste their feed by throwing it under their feet. 

 We water the stock in the cement mangers during stormy weather. The dairy barn 

 at Haskell is now a place of interest to visitors who pass constantly through the 

 institution, and remarks of praise regarding Louden Equipment are constantly heard. 



Very respectfully. 



Donald McArthur. 



The United States Government has been using Louden Equiprnent 

 for many years, and the fact that it is specified for government buildings 

 is one of the strongest recommendations that can be given. 



Fig. 1189 



Fig. 1 189 shows the concrete cut away around the lower ends of the 

 stall posts and stall partitions and around the stanchion anchor which 

 is sherardized so the nuts will not rust but may be taken off and 

 replaced any time to change a stanchion. See how securely the parts 

 are held in the concrete, particularly the stanchion anchor which reaches 

 nearly to the bottom of the curb. The crimps in the lower ends of the 

 tubing will effectually prevent them from pulling out. Also, note the 

 absence of pockets or other "dirt catchers" at the bottoms of the 

 stall posts or at the stanchion anchor.
