Making Dairy Profits Bigger 



HE purpose of the following pages is to show you the easiest 

 way of keeping your cows and their stalls clean; how to 

 save feed and to increase the milk yield; how to keep your 

 cows comfortable while in the barn; how to save bedding; 

 how to improve the health of your cows; lessen the need of 

 hired help and make it easier to get and keep hired help when 

 you need it; make it easier to keep the boys on the farm and to avoid some 

 of the expensive accidents, like abortion caused by strain, and the ruining of 

 a cow by a neighboring cow stepping on her udder; how to save work and 

 save time in the daily chores about the barn; and how to make of the dairy 

 stable a modern, up-to-date food factory of which you may be proud. 



In showing you how these things may be accomplished, we wish to 

 emphasize the fact that in reality it will cost you nothing to achieve these ends, 

 excepting the investment of a certain sum of money for a year or two. 



The experiences of our customers prove conclusively that James equipmeni 

 almost invariably pays for itself the first year; but if it paid for itself within 

 three years most men would regard it as an exceptionally good investment. 



Saves Time and Work 



The dairy farmer, with his daily round of monotonous tasks in the barn, 

 finds the labor situation one that he must solve if he is to stay in business. 

 One solution is to make machinery do the work — or do as much of it as 

 possible. 



James equipment saves work at every turn — when you are putting the cows 

 in the barn and when you are turning them out; when feeding and watering; 

 when milking; when caring for the calves and sick cows; when handling the 

 herd bull; and it saves a very great amount of time when cleaning out the barn 

 and grooming the cows. 



By using the James alignment device, the cows are kept lined up at the 

 rear, so that most of the manure falls in the gutter; the floor of the stall is 

 kept clean, the cows do not get covered with filth, and thus a great amount 

 of labor in cleaning the cows and stalls is saved. 



The manure carrier cuts squarely in two the labor of cleaning out the 

 barn; with a manure carrier and a spreader, the manure can be taken from 

 the gutter and put on the field with but the one handling — the lifting of the 

 manure from the floor into the earner tub. 



The drinking cups are a tremendous time-saver. A recent investigation 

 among 59 herds disclosed the fact that on the average James cups save 3'/2 

 minutes per cow per day, or about 1 1 hours per cow, per year. At 25c per 

 hour this would total a saving of $2.75 per cow, per winter, saved by drink- 

 ing cups alone.
