There is no more going thirsty three-quarters of the time — no more herd- 

 ing the cows out to drink and herding them in again — no more frozen tanks 

 to chop open — no more tank-heater annoyances or fuel expense — no more 

 twice a day periods of cold and excitement to disturb your herd and interfere 

 with their milk production — no more of that day after day, body-freezing, 

 wind-biting winter chore to worry about in watering your herd. 



James drinking cups put an end to all this once and for good. 



And just think, too, what it will mean to you to know that if any time 

 a cow in your herd should become diseased, there is no chance for that cow 

 to gne the disease to the rest of the herd through the drinking water before 

 the disease is discovered and the affected animal isolated. 



James cups prevent the spread of disease for the simple reason that where 

 the individual cups are used, no two cows ever nose the same water. Each 

 cow has her individual cup to drink from. Each cup is fitted with a special 

 valve which allows the fresh water to enter, but prevents the water once in 

 the cups from flowing back and mixing with the general supply. 



There is no flowing of water from cup to cup and it is, therefore, im- 

 possible for a healthy cow to come into contact with water that has been 

 touched by a diseased cow. Compare this with watering from a common 

 tank, or from the manger-trough. 



There are, of course, other ways of passing tuberculosis and other germs, 

 but certainly the common drinking tank or watering from the manger-trough 

 IS a dangerous source of infection. You can guard your herd from spread 

 of disease through the water supply by the use of the James cups. 



The questionnaire previously referred to also developed other interesting 

 and valuable infonnation. 



In response to the question: "Do drinking cups save you time and labor?" 

 the answer was unanimous, 120 answering "Yes." 



99 give specific information which showed a daily saving in labor time 

 of 3'/4 minutes per cow. This is a total saving of more than 10 hours labor- 

 time in a 200-day season for each cow in the herd. 



In answer to the question, "Have you observed that your calves grow 

 better and faster by having a constant supply of water before them?" 80 

 replied "Yes," 7 answered "No," II do not answer and 21 say they are 

 not using cups for the calves. 



Answering the question, "Do you consider that drinking cups help pre- 

 vent spread of disease?" 95 say "Yes," 9 say "No," 8 do not answer and 

 8 say they are not in position to answer this particular question.
