Manger Lifting Springs 



The Manger Lifting Springs are so adjusted that when the manger is down, 

 the tension of the springs and the weight of the manger prevent the cow from 

 hfting it. 



But when the manger is raised a few inches, past a certain point, the pull of 

 the spring offsets the weight of the manger, making it easy to lift; and then 

 holds the manger up in position. 



The springs reduce the strain on the manger, for each spring pulling evenly 

 on the manger partition does away with racking when manger is raised, thus 

 adding to the manger's life. 



The springs are of special design of cold drawn, flat spring steel, oil 

 tempered and tested for severe use — the same as the best automobile springs. 

 The tension is easily adjusted, should adjustment ever be needed. 



It is sanitary, and presents a neat appearance in the barn. 



Regularly furnished, four Manger Lifting Springs to each five stalls. 



James Manger Divisions 



(PATENT APPLIED FOR) 



In various barns already built, which we have been called upon to equip, 

 we have found concrete mangers of such design that the James Complete 

 Manger could not be used. 



To meet this condition and make it possible for every dairyman to have 

 individual manger compartments for feeding, we have designed the James 

 Individual Manger Divisions. These can be made special to fit any concrete 

 manger by furnishing us an exact pattern of the trough, at an extra charge. 



These manger divisions as regularly furnished are fourteen inches high; 

 which is sufficiently high to prevent a cow from stealing feed from her neighbor. 



Divisions are made of eleven gauge galvanized sheet steel, 14 in. high and 

 2 Hie, in. wide. The strong, heavy, malleable hinge will not slip and holds the 

 division firmly in position. 



When raised the division is held in place by an ingenious holder. See cuts 

 A, B and C, page 138. 



The cuts on the opposite page illustrate the manger divisions. The manger 

 curb can be built as desired; some of the more common styles of curb are shown 

 on page 135. 



Manger Pattern must be used in making manger trough, if Manger 

 Divisions are to fit properly. Manger pattern is furnished free.
