 Fig. 948 — Continued 



The mangers are hinged to the adjustable frames 

 and are provided with springs to assist in raising 

 them, and hooks to hold them in raised position while 

 cleaning. The stall floor should be made from 6 to 8 

 inches longer than with stalls having non-adjustable 

 mangers. Also, the longer stall partitions should be 

 used. Louden Adjustable Stalls answer all require- 

 ments, and give good satisfaction wherever used.

 vanized sheet steel reinforced at the ends and on the edges 

 with heavy angle iron. They are 39 inches long. 34 inches

 is 6 ' 2 inches above the floor.

Fig. 1191 



This is a portion of a cut which is used by others to show the need of 

 a Stop Device to prevent a cow from putting her head between the stan- 

 chion and the stall post. The fact was overlooked that there is twice as 

 much room in the open stanchion as there is between the stall post 

 and the stanchion. Consequently, the liability of the cow walking 

 through the stanchion is twice as great as putting her head in the 

 wrong place. The point which the cut shows above everything else is, that 

 in full-width, single post stalls the stanchions open too wide, and that 

 double or triple post stalls should be used to get the proper propor- 

 tions and do away with the necessity of using stop devices. The liability 

 of the cow going through a wide-open stanchion is three times greater 

 than putting her head in at the side. But if you want a single-post stall 

 with stop device, we have the best one made — the "Louden Go-Right." 

 Our Side Chains will also prevent the stanchions from opening too wide.
