Constructing Louden Standardized Mangers 



Fig. 1153 shows the different 

 steps in the construction of Louden 

 Standardized Mangers. 1st, the 

 stalls are set up and lined up as 

 true as line and level can make 

 them. 2d, the form-boards for the 

 curb are set up to correspond with 

 the stalls and the cement is then 

 put in, using our patent cut-out 

 forms to make the cut-outs in the 

 curb. 3d, the curb form-boards are 

 removed, the corners of the curb 

 are rounded and the form-boards 

 for the manger are set up. 4th, the 

 templets for the manger are set in 

 place and the cement is then put 

 in. 5th, after the cement has set 

 sufficiently, the templets and form- 

 boards are removed and the manger 

 is smoothed up. After this the stall 

 floors, the gutters, and the litter 

 and feed alley floors are constructed 

 in the order most convenient. 



We furnish Complete Detailed Instructions for doing the work. Also, the necessary Tools and 

 Appliances. (Seepage 101.) 



Some parties advise putting in the concrete work first and setting up the stalls afterwards, connecting 

 the stall posts and partitions to the curbs and floors by means of anchors set in the concrete. 



We do not recommend the anchoring of stalls in this manner if it is possible to install them in the 

 usual manner, with stall posts securely embedded in the concrete. 



It is practically impossible to get a first class job when separate anchors are used. No matter how 

 careful the concrete worker may be he cannot set the anchors accurately enough to make the stalls line 

 up properly, and some of them will have to be sprung into line and held by the top rail and stall parti- 

 tions. The stalls will not be as strong as those set in solid concrete, and the anchors offer a place for the 

 accumulation of dirt. 



The principal advantages of the anchors are, first, that they may be shipped ahead of the stalls and 

 the concrete work put in before the stalls arrive; second, that anyone can set up the stalls without the aid 

 of concrete workers after the anchors are in. Nevertheless, these advantages hardly offset the advantages 

 of stalls set up in the manner shown by Fig. 1 I 55, where the stall posts extend fifteen inches into the 

 solid concrete.

Stall Anchor 



Where the use of anchors is necessary, the Louden Improved 

 Stall Anchor provides the most secure anchorage, and the 

 simplest method of installation ever offered to barn owners. 



The Louden Anchor is the strongest and heaviest made. It 

 is the only anchor that is made as strong as the pipe it supports. 



The lower part of the anchor — which is embedded in the 

 concrete — is made of heavy strap iron. It is 3^4 inches wide at 

 the top and 7}i inches wide at the bottom, flared to make it 

 hold securely. 



The stall post is secured to the anchor by means of over- 

 lapping, dustproof. malleable castings, clamped on. There 

 are no bolts through the anchor to break off or weaken the 

 connection. A heavily ribbed hook or flange three inches in 

 length grips the anchor iron securely on each side, making a 

 connection that is almost unbreakable. 



Fig. 1284 shows the parts assembled and clamped to the 

 anchor iron; also a short section of the stall post. The top of 

 the anchor iron is set level with the top of the curb, and the 



broad flanged base of the malleable connection rests flat against Showing Stall Anchor 

 the concrete. Assembled
