How Do You 
Do Your 
Chores ? 
The OLD Way or the 
JAMES Way? 
The old way—cleaning out the barn 
is the dirtiest and hardest work on the 
place—a chore that- shirked by 
everyone who has a chance to get 
away from it. Loading up the old 
wheelbarrow—pushing it out through 
the barn, leaving a trail of 
dripping filth—across a 
mushy yard and up on to a 
manure pile, trying the 
strength and patience of the 
strongest man; afterwards 
loading the wagon from the 
pile, losing the liquid—who 
could like such a job? 
But dirty work like this is 
no longer necessary on any 
farm. 
This task, like many other 
tasks in the dairy barn, has 
been changed by James to a 
chore that even the boys like 
and which they can do as 
well as the strongest man. 
James Carriers 
Make Chore TimeShort 
What a snap it is to clean the barn 
the modern James Way! How easy to 
drop the carrier to the floor, lifting 
the manure barely knee high to get 
it into the tub. 
In a few moments the big tub can 
be loaded with more manure than half 
dozen i wheelbarrows can hold. Then 
a quick, easy run out of the barn and 
a jerk on the trip empties the load 
directly into wagon or spreader or 
onto the pile. And it’s a clean way. 
The tub is practically water tight— 
no slopping or dripping. 
A most attractive feature of this 
new way is that freedom from the 
drudgery costs you less—in actual 
dollars and cents—than the old way 
of cleaning with a wheelbarrow, or 
with wagon driven through the barn. 
Every farmer ought to know that 
the old-time wheel-bajrrow way of 
cleaning the barn is the most expen¬ 
sive way . He knows veiy well it’s 
the hardest. 
The cost of wheelbarrows or the 
cost of modern carriers is only 
fraction of the real cost. 
The real expense is the time re¬ 
quired—time for which you pay cash 
if your hired man does the work; or 
time in which you can be earning 
bigger profits if you do it yourself. 
James Carriers 
cut this time in half. 
James Carriers are more strongly 
and heavily built than they need be. 
All tubs are made of 18 gauge gal¬ 
vanized steel built on a framework 
of galvanized iron, end of tub rein¬ 
forced with galvanized steel plate. 
Well riveted, all rivets Sherardized. 
Perfect control clutch and brake 
make it possible to lower the tub 
quickly by its own weight—yet 
keeping the speed of descent under 
absolute control. Shaft is all cold 
rolled steel 1 % inches in diameter. 
The lifting chain has the full 
length of the shaft on which to wind 
—winds in such a way as to form an 
open spiral, avoiding wear. JAMES 
I-beam track has a narrow thread, 
affording no place for snow, sleet or 
dirt to collect; being one piece, it 
cannot spread and bind the tracker 
wheels. Depth of the track and its 
heavy flanges prevent it from spring¬ 
ing under heavy loads, and give the 
track long life because of the great¬ 
er thickness of wearing surface. 
JAMES Safety Switch can be oper¬ 
ated from below, no matter how high 
the track. 
The ingenious “I-beam track” and 
“button-on hangers” make it easy to 
put up JAMES rigid track carriers 
—easy even for inexperienced help.

In putting up the track, the hangers swill carriers, horse stable fixtures, 
‘button on”—the button of the hang- hog, sheep, and beef barn equipment, 
er is put through the hole in the are described in the book, “The 
track, hanger turned to position de- Jamesway” which will be sent on re¬ 
sired and fastened to joist or ceiling, quest. 
No special curves are required, be- g Planning 
cause JAMES “I-beam track” is 
easily and quickly bent to any curve 
right in the barn without the use of 
heat.
