Two pounds of milk may seem a 
small amount, but to increase the milk 
yield two pounds per cow daily, means 
a large increase in the profit from any 
herd. 
If you have thirty cows, two pounds 
more per cow daily would be sixty 
pounds, worth about $2.00. During the 
winter season this would total $350 or 
more. 
Truly, this is an extra profit well 
worth seeking, especially since there 
is no expense connected with it, aside 
from the small initial investment in 
drinking cups. 
Water costs practically nothing and 
to be able to turn water into milk with 
no effort further than to keep the wa¬ 
ter supply tank filled, is about as easy 
a way of making money as one could 
ask. 
Hoard’s Dairyman Finds 
Drinking Cups Profitable 
“In the stables of the Hoard’s 
Dairyman herd are installed 42 drink¬ 
ing cups, one for each cow. The in¬ 
stallation of these cups providing the 
tow with plenty of water whenever 
she wants it night or day has result¬ 
ed in a perceptible increase of milk. 
It reminds us of the remark 
some years ago by a Wisconsin q u . v 
farmer to the effect that although 
well water was about as free as air, 
it was the last thing properly provid¬ 
ed for the cow. A visit to the stable 
say at 9 o’clock at night will discover 
quite often a number of the cows tak¬ 
ing a comfortable drink from their 
water cups. We are convinced that 
this is a highly profitable investment 
to make. Pure water ready at any 
time and pure air are two things that 
greatly promote the production of 
milk.”—Hoard's Dairyman Editorial, 
r Feb. 1, 1918. 
“According to our milk records”, 
says W. H. Martin, who is herdsman 
at Arcady Farm, Lake Forest, Illinois, 
“James drinking cups increased our 
milk yield 4 lbs. per cow, per day. 
With our herd of 97 cows, the cups 
save two hours daily.” 
Herman Olson, Cambridge, Wiscon¬ 
sin, “Considers James Cups in rela¬ 
tion to outside tank as the modern 
silo is to the old way of feeding dry 
cornstalks outside on the snow bank.” 
Walter Bringold, Wanamingo, Min¬ 
nesota, is another who puts James 
cups in the same class as the silo for 
milk making. “If I could have but one, 
judging from my experience,” he says, 
“I would rather have the drinking 
cups than the silo, as I believe the 
drinking cups make more milk.” 
What James Cups Ac¬ 
complished in 28 Herds 
Twenty-eight dairymen who kept 
milk records reported the following 
results from the use of James Drink¬ 
ing Cups: 
One had art increase of from 5 to 10 
lbs. per cow per day; three an increase 
averaging 4 lbs.; three had 3 lbs. aver¬ 
age increase; six, 2 lbs.; three, 1% 
lbs.; one, % lb.; one reported $8.56 
average inci’ease per cow per year; 
one an average increase of $5; one, 
$10; one a 3% increase; one 8% in¬ 
crease; two, 10% increase; one, 
12 V 2 %; one, 20%; and one, 33%%. 
These reports covered a total of 759 
cows, averaging an increase of 2.45 
lbs. milk per cow per day. 
The Saving in Labor 
In a recent investigation of 120 
herds in which James cups were used, 
the owners were unanimous in stating 
that the cups saved them time and 
labor. 
Their answers ranged from % min¬ 
ute per cow, per day, to 10 minutes 
per cow, average being 10 hours saved 
per cow, each year. 
The Calves Grew Faster Other Work Savers and 
Milk Makers 
Out of 87 dairymen using James 
cups in their calf pens, 80 say that 
they have “observed that calves grow 
better and faster by having a constant 
supply of water before them.” 
Help Prevent Spread 
of Disease 
These dairymen were almost unani¬ 
mous in considering that didnking 
cups help prevent the spread of dis¬ 
ease, each cow drinking from her own 
cup. 
Above are a few of the facts brought 
to light in this investigation of James 
drinking cups. The complete results 
are set forth in Bulletin No. 4, which 
will be sent on request.

milk can cariers and trucks, cow

Barn Planning 
Por many years, the James Barn 
Planning Department has been help¬ 
ing customers and others in planning 
new barns and remodeling old barns. 
In this work, Mr. James has associat¬ 
ed with him a competent architect and 
engineer of unusual experience in 
ventilation and construction pi’oblems, 
another architect who has many years 
of experience in the planning of new 
buildings and remodeling of dairy 
barns, a large number of experienced 
draftsmen—and in the field are some 
€0 experts whose work takes them 
daily into dairy barns in every part 
of the country, consulting on remod¬ 
eling and other barn problems, draw¬ 
ing preliminary plans and reporting 
on new ideas and unusual conditions. 
All this experience and ability in 
the planning of new or remodeling of 
old dairy barns, is at your service. 
Full information regarding the 
James barn planning service and all 
James equipment is given in the 
Free Barn Book 
of 330 pages entitled “The James Way” 
which will be sent on request. Please 
state number of cows you own.
