Comfort Increases Milk Yield 



1 nis matter of cow comfort is extremely important, for the way in which 

 a cow IS fastened in the stall has much to do with htr milk producing ability. 

 The cow is so comfortable in the James Stall, that her movements are not 

 cramped in the least; she can lie down naturally and turn her head to card 

 herself, reaching all the way back to her flank on either side. She is almost 

 as free as though in the open yard, yet she is tied securely. 



MILK INCREASED ONE-THIRD 



G. F. Sanborn, Eagle River, Wisconsin, says: "I believe I am safe in saying that our milk yield has been in- 

 creased at least one third due entirely to the comforts, conveniences, and cleanliness that has resulted in the 

 use of the James fixtures. I would not be without these fixtures for any money and I think you should be con- 

 gratulated on the good work you are doing in educating the farmer to the use of the James equipment. It is a real 

 service to the farmer and dairyman which cannot be commended too highly." 



GAINED 7.4 LBS. PER COW 



A. L. Canniff & Sons, Juneau, Wisconsin: "Before we remodeled our building our cattle averaged 32 pounds 

 of milk daily: after we remodeled the buildings they averaged 39.4 pounds of milk daily, all conditions being 

 equal with the exception of the James Steel Equipment we installed. We attribute this gain of 7.4 

 pounds to the solid sanitary comfort which our cattle received from the James steel equipment." 



25% MORE MILK 



W. H. Mathei, Agricultural advisor for Florence Farm, Florence, Wisconsin; "Our cows have been doing 

 wonderfully since they have been placed in the new barn. Your installations have without any doubt a great 

 influence on the cows and their milk flow, which increased rapidly and steadily. The milk yield increased about 

 25 per cent and is still increasing." 



20% TO 30% INCREASE 



R. B. Melvin & Son, Glenbeulah, Wisconsin: "We are greatly pleased with results obtained since installation 

 of James equipment. We have figured that our cows have produced 20 to 30 per cent more milk daily due to the 

 James stalls and watering system. Our calf pens are equipped with James drinking cups. These alone are nearly 

 worth the cost of the whole equipment for our calves have made the best growth of any we have raised in many 

 years." 



SEVERAL POUNDS DIFFERENCE 



H. R. Lobdell. Mukwonago, Wisconsin: "Just a few days ago we were forced to take out of our barn part 

 of our milking cows and put them in an adjoining barn with the old wooden stanchions for a few days. They were 

 fed just the same feed and given just the same care but fell off several pounds of milk, per cow, by the end of ten 

 days. They were brought back and at the end of twenty days, had gained back to their normal amount. I am 

 quite sure that the loss was caused principally by the loss of the comfort of the better equipment and the better 

 barn. The difference was very noticeable in more ways than one," 



ONE-FIFTH MORE MILK 



John Posttler, Birnamwood, Wisconsin: "We like the James equipment. In every way we can do our feeding 

 and letting the cows out and in, in less than one-fourth the time than in our old barn without the James equipment. 

 We only need one-half the bedding that we formerly did and the cows are clean. And we have an increase of 

 about one-fifth more milk than before we had the James equipment, from the same cows." 



25% MORE MILK 



H. S. Pieper, Campbellsport, Wisconsin: "I am well pleased with the James equipment. In my experience, 

 I believe I received at least 25 per cent more milk than by stabling cows in the old way. To my judgment the 

 James Way gives the proper comfort."
