Rack in Feeding Position 



No means of feeding hay has ever been 

 devised that so totally eliminates all waste. 

 The horse pulls out a mouthful at a time 

 and the rack gradually closes as the hay 

 is eaten out, the hay being held with suffi- 

 cient firmness to keep it from falling out at 

 the sides of the rack, but not so tightly that 

 the horse cannot eat comfortably. 



The value of this automatic closing fea- 

 ture cannot be over-estimated, for without 

 it no rack can completely prevent the waste 

 of hay. By means of the opening and 

 closing device, the rack can be instantly 

 locked open and conveniently filled. After 

 being filled the catch is released, allowing 

 the rack to close automatically against 

 the hay by means of the springs. 



The rack is practically self-cleaning, as 

 dirt or chaff sifts through to the floor. In 

 the old-fashioned type of manger this chaff 

 and dirt settles to the bottom of the manger 

 and is often breathed into the nostrils of 

 the horse while eating. Failure to clean 



The material used is the best steel, 



out the old-fashioned manger also causes much hay to be spoiled by this chaff and dirt mixing with the hay. 



Another advantage in the Automatic Hay Rack is the removal of danger to the animal's eyes. 

 Under the old-fashioned feeding arrangements often a horse's eyes have been injured by straws while the 

 animal was rooting in the manger. This cannot occur with the Automatic Rack. 



There are no sharp corners or points on which an animal can injure itself. Still another advantage is 

 the free circulation of air about the horse's head at all times. This feature can best be appreciated during 

 hot weather. 



The Automatic Hay Rack is constructed to withstand rough usage, 

 and as there are no "wearing points" the rack will last a lifetime. 



The Automatic Hay Rack is made in many sizes and in different styles to meet every requirement, but 

 the principle is the same in each. All styles have the same strong, almost indestructible steel con- 

 struction with the automatic spring-press feature. 



Open Back Construction 



Warren Automatic Hay Racks with Open Back Construction, should be specified when to be attached 

 to wood, cement, or brick surfaces. 



The principal advantage of having these racks furnished without the upright wiring in the back is to 

 eliminate the possibility of hay accumulating between the back of the rack and the wall. While the 

 regular full-back rack can be used, the Open Back is preferable and can be furnished at a reduced cost. 



When our racks are to be installed in stables where the windows have been set exceptionally low, our 

 22-inch Open Back, as illustrated in Fig. 1210' j-A, can be used to advantage. This allows the rack to 

 be installed flush with the under side of the window sill where it will not interfere with the opening and 

 closing of the window.
