Show HANDY DEVICE IN THE. BARN Lever Attached to End Used for Opening Open-ing and Closing Stanchions How It Is Made. I have a handy device for opening and closing stanchions, says a writer In the Missouri Valley Farmer. When f making it I took first a strip of one by four and bored one-half inch holes In it. These holes were as far apart as .the stanchions were at the top. JL. -IMS I : - Tbe Lever Does It. Then I bored holes the same size near the bottom of the swinging side of the stanchion. I bolted the strip to the stanchions, and at the end attached a lever by which the stanchions could easily be closed. The lock on the end of the stanchion U the only one now that need he closed, as the strip keeps all the others closed. |
