Louden Calf Pen with Individual Mangers — Fig. 1021 



(Corner Couplings Patented Aug. 17. 1915.) 



Here is something for your barn that will greatly improve it and will start your calves on the way to 

 future productiveness and profit. The Louden Calf Pens are complete in every respect, being light, well 

 ventilated and easy to keep clean. They are fitted with stanchions to hold the calves in place while feeding. 

 They are provided with individual mangers which will prevent the calves from stealing each other's feed 

 or upsetting their buckets. They have Patented Stationary Up-Standing Shields which com- 

 pletely overcome the harmful habit of sucking each others ears. 



The stanchions can be opened all at once or only one at a time. The manger is spring balanced so 

 that a boy can easily raise and lower it. When raised half-way up it will stand at any point without any 

 hooks or latches or anything else to hold it in an elevated position. The manger divisions telescope with the 

 stationary shields in raising and lowering. The springs can be readily adjusted to always perfectly balance 

 the manger. The pen is securely enclosed by a strong gate hung on substantial hinges and has a Hold- 

 Shut Latch, described on another page, which prevents the calves from getting out or other animals from 

 getting in. The design is neat and artistic and besides its great usefulness, it is an ornament in any barn. 



Calves will grow faster and will do better in a neat, light, well ventilated, thoroughly sanitary Louden 

 Calf Pen than in the old, stuffy, dark, dirty, wooden boxes which are sometimes called pens and which are 

 too often used to stow away little calves until they are able to shift for themselves. As the " twig is bent so 

 the tree is inclined," is as true of baby calves as it is of other babies, and they should have the kindness 

 and care that will make their wabbly little legs grow straight and strong and which will best develop their 

 vitality so they will be most efficient when they take their place in the world as producers. A Louden Calf 

 Pen is one of the essentials in raising calves. 



Fig. 1021 shows the manger in feeding position and Fig. 1022 on opposite page, shows it raised for clean- 

 ing. The manger divisions are hinged to the vertical tubing or fillers of the pen. The lower ends of the 

 springs are pivotally connected to the hinges and their upper ends are adjustably connected to the tubing 

 as most plainly shown in Fig. 1 02 1 . The manger raises high enough to pass away above the calves' heads. 

 The stanchions are easily adjusted to suit growing calves.
