James Watering System is Simple 



The James watering system is simple, requirmg for the gravity system only the cups; 

 the control tank with regulating valve to maintain a uniform level of water in the cups; 

 a source (such as a supply tank or spring on a level higher than the regulating tank) from 

 which the regulating tank may draw the water; and the necessary piping to connect the 

 same. It is easily installed, and once in requires practically no attention — and the cows 

 have pure, fresh water before them every moment of the day and night. 



The level of the water in the cups is regulated by the level of the water in the regulating 

 tank, these levels, of course, being the same. The level of the water in the regulating 

 tank IS maintained by a float valve; this regulating tank taking its water from any source 

 having a sufficiently high level to feed regularly. 



With the pressure system no regulating tank is required. 



The James Drinking Cups 



There are four styles of James drinking cups, a one-cow cup and a two-cow cup for 

 the gravity system and a one-cow cup and a two-cow cup for the pressure system. 



One of the best features of these cups is that they are so simple in construction and 

 operation as to be practically trouble proof. They are so easy to install that any dairyman 

 can equip his barn quickly and easily. And being automatic in action, very little further 

 care or attention need be given them once they are in place. 



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 EUid 

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

 done by removing the drain plug, all loose dirt flushing out as the cup empties; a few 

 strokes with a whisk broom or brush, as the water flows out, completes the job. 



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

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



Location of Cups 



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

 amount of dirt that accumulates in 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 I 72 

 and 1 74) in which location the cup is kept away from the feed while at the same time 

 it is convenient 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 

 where a cow 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 above 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, in back of the post, or at the side.
