The calf IS the foundation of the future herd. Stunt the calf and it can 

 never develop into the profitable cow which good care and thrifty growth 

 would have produced. 



You take pains to build up your herd and breed quality into your calves. 

 Is it not wise, therefore, to spend perhaps 50c or $1 on each calf providing it 

 with the proper quarters, as insurance against its sickness, against its being 

 stunted, and to make sure of better cows? 



In connection with the stanchions on the calf pen, we can furnish the com- 

 plete manger with head guard, it being easy to thoroughly clean the cement 

 trough by raising the mangers; or the "Anti-sucking" guards which prevent 

 one calf from reaching over and tormenting the one next to it. 



The "Anti-sucking" guards may be easily swung to the side, back against 

 the stanchion, when you wish to clean out the cement trough in front of the 

 stanchion; or may be removed entirely; when in use to separate the calves 

 it is held rigidly. 



There are no sharp fittings on the pen against which the calves can injure 

 themselves. For the first few weeks of its life the calf's skull is soft and a 

 sharp blow against it will greatly injure and sometimes kill the little animal. 

 There are a great many cases where valuable high-bred calves have been killed 

 in this way and in purchasing a pen this is a point to be looked for. 



All the stanchions are adjustable in neck space, accommodating the calves 

 as they grow. The stanchions may be controlled by a single lever, opening 

 or closing them all at the same time; or they may be opened or closed one at 

 a time.
