Sanitary Steel Feed Boxes — Continued 



(Warren Patent) 



Our Sanitary Steel Feed Box was devised 

 for the man who wants the best. It is more 

 sanitary, more durable, more convenient, and 

 of neater appearance than any other all-metal 

 feed box on the market. 



This box is practically indestructible. It is 

 made of heavy material and in a most substan- 

 tial manner. The body is constructed of 1 8- 

 gauge Wood's refined cold-rolled steel, and is 

 reinforced around the top with a steel band. 

 No rivets are needed in the construction, as 

 special double seaming machinery is used. 



The most essential and exclusive feature in 

 the feed box is the convenient arrangement 



for tilting. Near the front of the box on each end, a heavy machine bolt is attached to box and mounting 

 frame. (See Illustration.) This bolt acts as a pivot, and the box can be turned entirely over and cleaned 

 out before each feeding. As the rounded corners of the inside of the box make it difficult for dirt to accu- 

 mulate, the box is always in a sanitary condition. 



All seams and pores are filled when the 

 box is galvanized, thus creating a smooth 

 surface, with no cracks or crevices to afford 

 breeding places for disease germs. 



The advantage in having such an easily 

 cleaned feed box is self evident to the man 

 who knows how quickly the ordinary feed 

 box will accumulate dirt and dust, which, 

 mixed with the slobberings of the horse 

 makes a most unhealthful condition. Where 

 bran mash and other quickly fermenting 

 feeds are used, the need of an easily cleaned 

 Frame in which box sets box is still more apparent. 



Preventing Feed Waste 



Illustration shows the space an average feed occupies in the box. It also shows position of the two 

 rods or cross bars that prevent the animal from rooting out and wasting grain. It is estimated that a 

 horse will root out and waste from 10 to 15 per cent of the grain when fed in an ordinary box. This 

 saving alone would make the purchase a good investment, even without the sanitary features. 



The round sloping bottom of box and the cross rods allow the grain to be well distributed, and 

 provide a check on the too rapid eaters. 



Sizes of Boxes 



No. A box is considered standard for use in the average stable. It has a capacity of about 

 yi bushel, and the average feed occupies the space below the cross bars. 



No. B box has a total capacity of about a bushel, and where the feeding is very heavy, and bulky 

 feed is used, it is recommended. 



No. C is built exclusively for use in pony stables.

 Gentlemen : 



Yours of the I4th inst., received. Concerning barn equipment purchased of you last year, wash to say that 

 so far as I can see it is very satisfactory and everything in smooth working condition on both farms. Certainly 

 it has been a saving in labor to the tenants for with no more help they are caring for nearly twice the stock. 

 Kindly send me the catalog you mention as I may need some more equipment later on.
