equipped with bell trap so that no odors or gases can escape into tl 

 barn. Each is equipped with strainers which are a part of the bell' 

 trap. This prevents trash entering and clogging up the drain pipes. 



Drains are made of cast iron throughout with the exception of the 

 close-fitting, water-tight brass lid. 



The brass lids have a perfectly milled seat, the same as found on valves of automobiles and gasoline 

 engines, which are recognized standard. The lids, while easily removed, close the opening air tight by 

 their own weight. 



The lifting rings on the brass lids are counter sunk, so there is no danger of the lid being displaced by 

 the animals stepping on it, or rooting with the nose. While fitting snugly, the lifting ring is so arranged 

 that lid can be removed instantly with the fingers, no tools being required. 



Manger Drain Installation 



Figures 1 270 and 1 270 J 2 show how Louden Manger Drains fit different sizes of drain pipe. The manger 

 drain pipe should never be less than I ' j-inch pipe, and our drain heads will fit that size; also a 2-inch pipe 

 or 4-inch soil pipe or tile. Illustration shows how far below the manger floor level the drain pipe may 

 rise to allow for proper installation. 



The advantage of having a drain for the mangers is great. With the drain closed with the close-fitting 

 cap, the animals may be watered conveniently, and the mangers scrubbed out as often as desired. 



Gutter Drain Installation 



Louden Gutter Drains are made to fit either a 4-inch Cast Soil Pipe or Sewer tile. Illustration shows 

 proper installation. The inside wall of the Drain is 4 inches in diameter, the same as the 4-inch inside of 

 the drain tile. Set the flange end of tile next to floor and Drain when set in it with cement will be abso- 

 lutely rigid. Every barn should have a drainage system that will make it possible to save every bit of 

 the liquid manure. Different conditions in the barn surroundings will make the installation of a liquid 

 manure system a matter of personal choice, but the main point — save the liquids — can not be too strongly 

 urged. 



1 1 is an easy matter to arrange cocks at the cistern so that the water from the mangers need not enter 

 the cistern, but be carried to other places.
