increase in milk yield would be 400 pounds per cow which at present prices would mean 

 at least $8 or $10 per cow. 



Suppose you have 25 cows in your herd — this would mean an increase of $200 to 

 $250 m your winter dairy profit from the increased milk yield alone. 



Add to this the saving in labor, the saving in tank heater fuel, and the saving of labor 

 m tendmg the heater, the saving by preventing spread of disease through the drinking water, 

 and the value of the general increase in efficiency and all around health and vitality of the 

 herd. 



Think this over carefully and you will quickly realize the truth of the statement 

 that the James drinking cups more than pay back the initial cost, the first season they 

 are used. And there is practically no expense of upkeep. 



What happens when cows are given all the water they want, whenever they want it, 

 day and night, by means of the James drinking cups is told in the following experiences 

 of dairy farmers. Read every word of these letters for they are convincing proof of every 

 statement we have made. 



These letters will make clear to you how you can increase your profits by this very 

 simple means of turning water, which costs you practically .nothing, into milk. 



How Drinking Cups Make More Milk 



3 LBS. EACH DAILY 



L. S. Duggan, Gainesville, N. Y.. January 18. 1918: 



I handed your letter to my tenant for reply and he says: 



"The James drinking cups did increase the milk yield, due in my opinion to their use, 30 pounds a day for ten 

 cows. This is not an estimate, but is shown by the records. The buckets also save one hour a day compared with 

 watering the cows from a water tank in the yard." 



4 POUNDS MORE PER COW 



"Chehahs District, Washington: — Six herds were tuberculin tested during the month. One man installed in- 

 dividual drmkmg fountains and the daily milk flow was immediately increased nearly 4 pounds per animal. " — Hoards 

 Dairyman. Feb. 22. 1918. Reports of Cow Testing Association. 



160 LBS. MORE MILK THE SECOND DAY— 3I3 LBS. PER COW TOTAL INCREASE — 

 AND PREVENTS SPREAD OF DISEASE 



F. W. Merrill, Manager of McCanna's Edgewood Stock Farm, Burlington, Wisconsin, writes November 9th, 

 1917: 



"We received about 160 pounds more milk the second day after the James cups were installed. The cows were 

 on the same feed and other conditions were exactly as they had been previously. We received about 100 pounds 

 more milk during the next two or three days. This increase was from a herd of 75 cows. 



There is no question in my mind but what the installation of the James water cups will not only increase the 

 flow of milk, but will preserve the health of the herd. We had just taken out an old style water cup which allowed 

 one cow to drink water from the other cups, and anyone who has had any experience, will readily appreciate that 

 should there be one cow in the herd tubercular, she might spread the disease throughout the entire herd through 

 such drinkmg cups." 



75 LBS. INCREASE — 18^4^7 DAILY 



A. H. Bluemke, Rosendale. Wis.: 



"As a result of using James watering buckets, we have an increase of 75 pounds on a 400-pound milk yield, 

 shown by the records at the factory. Also we find that the drinking cups save us 30 minutes each day. This in 

 comparison with watering the cows from a water tank in the barn." 



2 LBS. MILK PER COW INCREASE— **40 QUARTS DAILY" 



L. W. Butterfieid, Binghamton. N. Y.. says: 



"Our milk yield increased after starting to use the James drinking cups, due in our opinion to their use. about 

 40 quarts. This is not an estimate but is the increase shown by milk records. Formerly we watered our cows from 

 a tank in the yard." Mr. Butterfieid has drinking cups for 44 cows. This gives an average increase of almost one 

 quart or approximately 2 pounds, per cow. per day."
