The Mangers for industrial stables are of the simplest 

 kind and strongly made. They consist of one long pan 

 •with two bars or guards across to prevent the food being 

 thrown out, there is no hay rack as all the hay is chaffed 

 (Fig. 127). It is best to have the manger pan of galvanized 

 iron or enamelled iron, and capable of lifting out so that it 

 can be easily cleaned or disinfected if necessary (Fig. 128). 

 Sometimes the manger pan is made shorter but moderately 

 deep and semicircular below ; this possesses certain ad- 

 ■ vantages, for the throwing out of food, a common trick, is 

 rendered more difficult. 



Fig 127 —Ua.weT for industrial stable ; shows also method of tying, 

 viz., a sliding ring on a bar placed on either side (St. Pancras). 



Method of Tying.— '^he tying up arrangement is fre- 

 quently a strong ring attached to the manger, through 

 which a rope or chain passes to the head collar. It should 

 have a good log of iron on the end of it, if a chain is used, 

 so as to act as a counterpoise. If a rope is employed a 

 wooden log is sufficient. The length should be as pre- 

 viously mentioned on p. 304. 



In all stables of this class, especially with heavy horses, 

 a double attachment is desirable from a ring on either side
