GOOD AS A SILO FOR MAKING MILK 



Herman Olson, Cambridge, Wis., February 21, 1917: 



"The greatest profit maker to any stockman, according to cost, are James water buckets; if every cow keeper 

 understood and would consider the great time-saving to himself by doing away with that bothersome old tank 

 heater and also the added fuel expense for it, besides the great loss of milk that results when cows are turned out 

 of warm barns in zero weather, I am positive every dairyman would immediately have water buckets. I consider 

 them in relation to outside tank watering in the same relation as the modern silo is compared to the old habit of 

 feeding dry corn stalks outside on the snow banks. Water buckets will easily pay for themselves the first winter by 

 a bigger milk yield alone." 



TWO POUNDS MILK PER COW — SAVES HALF HOUR DAILY 



Mr. R. Kamminza. Boyden, Iowa, November 10, 1917, writes: 



"The James drinking cups, as nearly as I can estimate, increased my milk yield two pounds per cow per day 

 and they save me a half hour's work daily, I used to water the cows from a tank in the yard, warming the water 

 with a tank heater, and the cups save me from five to ten cents a day on fuel and labor to run the heater. The 

 drinking cups are a big labor-saving and paying proposition. 



THINKS DRINKING CUPS INCREASE MILK YIELD 20,, 



Mr. H. W. Cort, Galesville, Wis., writes November 1, 1917: 



"I cannot say exactly what the milk yield increase is as a result of using James watering buckets, as I have 

 always used them and have no previous experience with which to make comparison. However, I think the drink- 

 ing cups must increase the milk yield 20 per cent. ' 



20^0 MORE MILK— ONE HOUR LESS WORK 



D. D. Decker & Son. South Dayton, N. v., write December 19, 1917: 



"We find that our milk yield increased 20 percent, as a result of using James drinking cups, these figures being 

 shown by our milk records. The drinking cups save us an hour a day in turning the cows out to water and puttmg 

 them back in the barn. We used to water the cows in a tank in the yard but did not heat the water with a tank 

 heater." 



"BEST INVESTMENT I EVER MADE" 



Oscar E. Twitchell, Milan, N. H„ May 17, 1917: 



"The James water buckets that I installed last fall are the very best investment in dairy barn equipment that 

 I ever made, both from the standpoint of cow and caretaker. They paid for themselves this winter." 



HEAVY INCREASE IN MILK 



John Hetts, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin: 



"After my experience for ninety days past with James drinking cups, I am convinced that with any high produc- 

 ing cow drinking cups will pay for themselves inside of thirty days in increase of milk yield. 



I know that when cows are turned out into the yard to drink, in cold weather, ofttimes they will not go near 

 the watering tank, even though the water be warm. With the drinking cups they have water before them all of 

 the time, drinking and eating alternately, drinking most heavily after eating silage. I think it far better for the cows 

 to take the water a little at a time with their feed, rather than drink a large quantity at any one time. 



I consider drinking cups protection against spread of tuberculosis and there is also a considerable saving in 

 time, enough during the season to offset the cost of the outfit, 



"REMARKABLE INCREASE" 



J. W. Miller. Middlefield, Ohio, October 30, 1917: 



"I am very highly pleased with the results I am obtaining from James drinking cups. I saw a remarkable 

 increase in the amount of milk the first morning after the cups were in." 



AS GOOD AS A SILO AS A MILK MAKER 



Mr. Walter Bringold, Wanamingo, Minn.: 



"If I could have but the one, judging from my experience, I would rather have James drinking cups than the 

 silo, as I believe the drinking cups made more milk." 



2% TO 10% INCREASE OF MILK 



Rudolph Martig, West Concord, Minn., writes November 12, 1917: 



"Although we did no testing before using the James drinking cups, it is our opinion that the milk yield in- 

 creased from 2 per cent to 10 per cent as a result of installing the cups. 



Also we find the drinking cups save us one and one-half hours a day as compared with our former method of 

 watering. It used to be a good deal of a job to clean out the manger trough. 



It used to cost us, according to our best estimates, 50 cents per day for fuel and labor in warming the water in 

 the tank outdoors, so that all together the saving is considerable. We would not get along without drinking cups 



at twice the cost. , , , , ■, ■ , i i ■ i ■ ,, i • i £. 



The cows when let out will drink too much cold water at one time, while with the drinking cups thiey drink often. 



The cows in our barn can be heard drinking any time of day."
