 Rush's Patent U Bar Steel 
 Rotary Cattle Stancbion 
 
 THIS Stanchion is niarlo ont of TJ Bar Ciirhide Step), 
 the ligliteHt anrl stroiigeHt ronatrnf^tion that it is 
 possiblo to secure. The U shape is line<l or filled 
 with wood from top to bottom, so that the wood only 
 touches the animal. 
 
 The looking device at top is simplicity itself, it bei fj 
 a positive fasttning with nothing to f:,et out of repair, 
 and it works automatically. The fastening at top and 
 bottom consists of a swivel and link, so ihit when the 
 Stanchion is put in place it is very pliable, the motiou 
 forward and backward giving an acimal great ease in ly- 
 ing down on either side and getting up, while the swivels 
 allow any natural motion, enabling an animal to lick 
 themselves as far back and as easily as if not confined, 
 and to rest their head on their shoulder when lying 
 down. We claim for this Stanchion absolute natural 
 freedom for an animal same as if not confined, also great 
 saviLg in labor as a herd can be fastened in a few mo. 
 mentB by any buy.

 [N connection with our Watering System there is a Float 
 
 Box fitted with a Patent Automatic Regulating Valve, 
 
 which may be adjusted to control the supply of water 
 to each h iwl, allowing whatever quantity may he desired to enter 
 each tiowl. This Patent Vilve is the only one on the market 
 which enables the complete system to be flushed out from presS' 
 ure of water in supply tanks, thereby enabling the bowls to be 
 kept sweet and clean, and not allowing any accumulation in any 
 of the bowls or other parts of the system. 
 
 It is a very easy matter with our systeni to draw ofl all the 
 water when the system is not required or when there is any 
 danger of frost. 
 
 The supply of water to each bowl is drawn out direci 
 from the main reservoir, and as the Patent Brass Ball Valve and 
 Strainer at the bottom of each bowl prevents return of any water 
 after it enters the bowl there is no danger with our system of the 
 spread of any contagious diseases. Cuts, Figs, i and 2, show an 
 opening in the bottom of water bowls which is closed with steel 
 
 concave plates with rubber washer, and is held together with bolt and thumi) nut. This opening iii for ihe 
 purpose of cleaning out the bowls when desired.

 Cut of Float Valve which 
 regulates supply of water 
 to bowls. 
 
 Cut on Page 2 illustrates arrangement of Bowls, Float Valve and Pipingr, 
 and ihe simpHcity of the arrangement will appeal to any one, as it is not difficult 
 to adapt the system to any stable independent of the Stanchious. 
 
 The syBtem is not expensive when results are talsen into consideration, j 
 
 The old practice of turning out cattle to drink from a frozen trough is 
 being rapidly discarded, tor by such a practice no aniinil can d ) its be-it. 
 
 We frequently receive letters from our customers statins: that after adopt- 
 ing our system that they are sure that they have saved one third of their feed 
 while at the same time the flow of mi'k ban been much greater. Now, if suclt 
 results are possible, who can afford to be without our Watering Bowls? Any one 
 will admit that where an animal has easy access to water of a proL.er temperature 
 they thrive much better than when the supply is scarce, and no one can afford to 
 turn a herd out of a warm stable to chill themselve*^ by drinking at one lime a 
 day'b supply of ice cold water. The cost of our System of supplying water will 
 be repaid by increabed returns from a herd in less than two years, to say nothing 
 of convenience and satisfaction.

 Information 
 
 P 
 
 Almost every stable for cattle in provided with cement flnorfl, the 
 arranfrement of which is largely a mutter of individual reijuirematH. 
 We, however, ask for a careful examination of cut on pajje three, aa 
 it aujjgests a construction of much merit and one which ic approved 
 by the best diarymen of our country who have devised and adopted it. 
 It is natural for an animal to eat from off the floor, and the idea of a 
 raised manager or feed trough is unatural, and does not give an 
 animal proper exercise. A floor constructed in this way and where 
 our Stanchion is adopted, a minimum of cost has been reached, as the 
 Stanchion is not expensive, and no partitions or mangers are necessary 
 and only wooden uprights and cross pieces to support Stanchion being 
 needed. By this arrangement a stable is light and airy, having no 
 cumbersome obstructions, and us intimated it is less expensive than 
 the usual constructiooN adopttuj. 
 
 The width allowed for an ordinary animal is .S feet with a Hoor 
 length of 5 feet, which measurements of course have to be varied ac- 
 cording to the breed and si/.e of the cattle kept. 
 
 To fasten the stanchion at bottom we suggest that a U shaped 
 iron be set in the cement the ends having bolt hole and being set level 
 with the top of cement wall, and with a little cement work hollowed 
 out so that a bolt can be passed through ends of iron and through link 
 at bottom of stanchion. The U shaped iron should be about 'A inches 
 wide and 4 inches down into cement, and set so that motion of Stan- 
 chion will be back and forward and not sideways. Cut on second pAge 
 shows how fastening is made at top of Stanchion with bolt pa-sing 
 through cross pieces. The wooden uprights should ho 2 x (i of g.iod 
 material the lower enti being bedded into the cement. The cross pieces 
 may also be of 2 x 6. The distance from bottom of cross pieces down 
 to top of cement wall is .56 inches, the extreme length of stanchion 
 link to link end being (JO inc* es. 
 
 The stan<larJ width of Stanchions between wooden linings is 7 
 inches, however we supply wooden linings of any thickness to reduce 
 width to fit any animal. 
 
 We guarantee this Stanchion to be well made 
 and durable, and send samples where desired

 The cut plainly hIk.wh how tocomlnct water from supply tank to watering howls which 
 are located hetween animals. The supply of water is automatically regulated by the Float
