An occasional cleaning is all that is necessary. This is easily done with the one-cow 

 cups by simply removing the cups from the stall posts, dumping the water out and 

 cleansing the cups. It is just as simple a matter to clean the two-cow cups, which is 

 done by remo\'ing the drain plug, all loose dirt flushing out as the cup empties; a few 

 strokes Nvith a whisk brcom or brush, as the water flows out, completes the job. 



The baked on enamel finish proMdes a smooth, clean surface that does not readily 

 catch deposits or dirt or grime, and is easily kept in sanitary condition. 



Location of Cups 



Experience has proven that the location of the cup has a vast deal to do with the 

 amount of dirt that accumulates m it. 



Cups located in front of the stall posts to some extent catch hay and feed and thus get 

 dirty quickly. The best location is between the stanchion and the stall post (see page 164 

 and 1 66) in \s'hich location the cup is kept away from the feed while at the same time 

 it IS con\'enient for the cow. Thus placed, it is surprising how clean the cups will keep. 



In this location, too, the cup also acts as a sort of sure stop, filling in the open space 

 \vhere a zow might occasionally put her head when entering the open stall. This location 

 does not prevent raising the mangers, or interfere with the cow's comfort. When standing, 

 she turns her head abo^e the bucket and when lying down, she turns her head below the 

 bucket. 



Location Adjustable 



However, the one-cow cups can be placed as desired, the fittings provided making 

 It easy to place the cup in front of the stall post, m back of the post, or at the side. 



Cups for Gravity System 



James Drinking Cup, Type 4 



(PATENT APPLIED FOR) 



This cup IS extremely simple in construction, consisting merely of the cast iron cup 

 itself, fitted with a removable non-rusting valve which allo\vs the water to enter, but 

 prevents it from flowing back. 



The construction, the simplicity of the cup, the ease of cleaning, and the method of 

 installation is all made clear by the pictures on pages 166, 168 and 1 72. 



With drinking cup, type 4, a regulating tank is required, as shown on page 1 74, 

 either type A or type B : together with the necessary piping to connect and a constant 

 source of \vater supply such as a supply tank. 



James Drinking Cup, Type 5 



(PATENT APPLIED FOR) 



This cup is for two cows. 



The cup is of cast iron, fitted with the same removable, non-rusting vahe used in 

 cup type 4, v^■hich allows water to enter but prevents it from flowing back. 



This cup is not removable. Instead, for the purpose of cleaning, it is provided with 

 a large drain plug, which can be readily removed, the dirt flushing out as the water 

 empties. A few quick strokes \\ith a whisk broom or brush \vhile \vater is flowing out 

 cleanses the cup thoroughly'. 



Installation is a simple matter, the system requiring only the cups, a regulating tank 

 (page 1 74) piping to connect and a supply tank or other constant ^sater supply.
