Figure the Savings in Your 

 0\vn Barn 



WE have tried to show you in a general way how James equipment will 

 save and make money for any dairyman, whether he has three cows or 

 three hundred, although we have said very little on some points because 

 they are very fully covered m pages farther on in this book, but we believe 

 we have said enough to prove our case. 



Now take your pencil and figure out the saving in your own barn for 

 yourself item by item. 



Take the matter of labor for instance. Thousands of dairymen tell us 

 that James equipment cuts squarely in two the work of caring for the cows 

 in the barn; that the saving in time with a herd of 30 cows, for example, 

 is not less than 30 minutes in cleaning out the barn, not less than 30 minutes 

 in the watering of the cows and a saving of at least 30 minutes in other chores 

 each day or a total saving with a herd of 30 cows of at least one and one-half 

 hours per day. 



Be conservative and figure your labor at $2.00 per day or say 20c an 

 hour. An hour and a half saved per day would be the equivalent of 30c, 

 which in the 200 days or so during the cold months when the cows are kept 

 in the barn, would amount to about $60.00, or about $2.00 per cow. 



Even on this basis and disregarding all the other savings and profits brought 

 about by James equipment, a James outfit would pay you a big profit every 

 year. 



Then estimate how much feed your cows waste every day by nosing it 

 back info their stalls, how much feed is wasted by the fast-eating cow taking 

 feed she does not need from a cow that eats more slowly. Assume that James 

 equipment saves only a fourth instead of all this waste in feed. 



Add that to the money saved on labor. 



Now turn back to page 91 and re-read the letters from Mr. Sanborn and 

 others who tell of the greatly increased milk flow resulting from the use of 

 James equipment. 



Some of them tell of 20 per cent milk increase, others of an increase of 

 one-third, another of an increase of over 7 pounds per cow, and so on. 



But suppose the increase in milk yield amounts only to 2 pounds a day — 

 one pint each milking — it would mean $6.00 more income per cow each year 

 during the six or seven months they are in the barn. 



That amount of increase in milk yield, of course, would hardly be notice- 

 able but we want you to figure this on a conservative basis, for we know that 

 no matter how conservatively it is figured the result will show a big profit 

 from the investment in James equipment.
