an institution which you are pleased and proud to have inspected by visitors. 

 Not only that, but a James equipped barn shows off your cattle to best 

 advantage and helps to get higher prices for any of them that you sell. 



Figure the Savings in Your Own 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 

 fully co^'ered m pages farther on m this book, but we believe we have said 

 enough to prove our case. 



Now take your pencil and figure for yourself the savmg m your own barn. 



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. 



The saving in time with a herd of 30 cows, for example, is not less than 

 30 minutes in cleaning out the barn, with a saving of at least 30 minutes 

 in other chores aside from watering. According to the average of reports 

 from 59 herds, James drinking cups sa\'e 3 minutes per cow per day, or 

 a total of 90 minutes in a herd of 30 cows. This would bring the total 

 saving up to 2Yi hours per day. 



Be conservative; figure labor at 25c an hour. Two hours and a half 

 would be the equivalent of 62'/2C, which in the 200 days or so that cows 

 are kept in the barn totals $125 per year. This is $4.50 per cow. 



If boys are doing the work — and with James equipment they can do the 

 chores as easily as a man — the saving would be even greater. 



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

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



Now turn back and re-read the letters of Mr. Canniff, of Telling Belle 

 Vernon Company, and Mr. Lobdell, who speak of the greatly increased 

 milk flow resulting from the cow comfort features of James equipment. They 

 tell of an increase of 7 lbs. per cow, and so on. Be conservative; figure the 

 increase as a result of the greater cow comfort as 1 lb. per cow per day. 

 This is 200 lbs. per cow per year which at $3.50 is worth $7. 



Add this to the $4.50 saving in labor. Total $1 1.50. 



Now, turn over to the section of the catalog telling about drinking cups. 

 In those pages you will find ample proof that James cups bring about big 

 increases in milk yields. Among other proofs is an investigation among 28 

 herds in which milk records were kept, showing an increase of 2.45 lbs. per 

 cow per day. 



Be conservative again. Figure 2 lbs. per day. This is 400 lbs. per year 

 which at $3.50 is worth $14. 



Add this to the saving in labor ($4.50) and the increased milk flow 

 resulting from cow comfort ($7.00). Total $25.50. 



The records of scores of dairymen also show that James cups save on
