Cleaner Cows—Cleaner Bams—Cleaner Milk—Greater Profits 
The practical dairyman of today knows the secret of clean 
milk production, the increasing of profits and lessening of labor 
brought about by modern, sanitary barn equipment. 
Star Barn Equipment—Sanitary Steel Stalls, Stanchions, 
Feed and Litter Carriers, Bull and Calf Pens, are designed and 
constructed for the purpose of making all farm work easier and 
better, and increasing the farmer’s profits. 1 hey mean easier 
barn work, cleaner cows, protection to stock and better quality 
milk. 
Whether you have five cows or fifty—you can profitably 
use Star Barn Equipment. 
The Distinctive Star Features Make It the Best and Most Economical 
All Cows Are Lined Evenly 
This absolutely insures align¬ 
ing all cows—long, short or med¬ 
ium—evenly at the drop, keeping 
stalls and cows clean. With the 
Unit System Stall the entire stall 
arch containing the stanchion—not just 
the stanchion—can be moved forward 
and backward to accommodate any sized 
cow. This is the sure way, for the length 
of the cow bed governs the cleanliness 
of the cow, and the cleanliness of the 
cow governs the cleanliness of the milk. 
It’s the safe way, because there are no 
protruding castings to interfere with the 
cow’s comfort or injure her brisket. 
Giant-Star Lock 
The two uprights of the Giant 
Star Stanchion are always solidly 
connected, not loose and disjointed, and 
are easily and quickly opened with one 
hand. When the stanchion is open the 
movable arm is always guided, eliminat¬ 
ing all strain on the hinge It is easily 
locked by a simple push with the hand. 
The “Unit System” Star Stalls 
Each Stall Is Individual—Buy What You Want 
The Star Unit System Stall is most substantial because 
each stall is built individually and is a complete unit. It is 
separately imbedded six inches to eight inches into concrete 
at four points, giving it much greater strength than is actu¬ 
ally required and making it very strong and rigid. It is 
economical because you can add to your stalls as your herd grows— 
one at a time as you want—without the necessity of buying stalls in 
sections of six or a dozen when you don’t need them. Then with the Star 
Unit System Stall you can save fully one-third to one-half the expense 
of installing, as each stall comes to you, completely assembled and all 
ready to set up in your barn. Each complete stall fits into place with¬ 
out elaborate preparatory work. Simply set anchor bolts into the con¬ 
crete curb, leave a hole in the platform for the stall partition which is 
afterwards filled with cement and the stalls are then ready to set up in 
your barn. The Star Unit System is thoroughly sanitary because the 
Stall Arch is one continuous piece of smooth tubing. This does away 
with the projecting parts which catch dirt and germs, which makes it 
hard to keep the equipment clean. 
Star Barn Equipment is the only equipment regularly made on the 
Unit System principle—it is the only equipment that gives you all of 
the Unit System advantages. 
Stanchions Adjustable In Neck Space 
Giant Star Stanchions are ad¬ 
justable in neck-space and can be 
widened to fit the thick necks of 
Durhams, Short-Horns or bulls. 
Or can be narrowed to fit the slender 
necks of Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins, 
Yearlings or two-year-olds This is one 
of the greatest stanchion improvements 
ever brought out. It makes for greater 
economy because no extra equipment for 
young stock is necessary. And it gives 
greater comfort to the stock because 
each stanchion fits each cow’s neck 
smoothly and accurately—not too tight 
or too loose 
Wood Lined Stanchions 
The wood lining on the Giant 
Star Stanchions is not just a piece of 
wood tacked onto the frame It is a 
solid piece of kiln-dried, non-shrinking 
maple, V /2 inches thick, which is fitted 
accurately into the “U”-shaped steel bar 
of the stanchion and forms a smooth 
surface for the cow’s neck and strength¬ 
ens the upright.

rangement. The Carriers are substan¬ 
tial, strong and durable.
