Make Water Into Milk 
and Money 
In order for a cow to make milk 
most cheaply it stands to reason that 
she must be given plenty of water. 
Thousands of dairymen have learned 
that they have been getting too little 
milk in the past because they 
gave their cows too little water. 
They have learned that when a cow has 
all the water she wants when she wants it 
at any hour of day or night, remarkable 
increases in milk yields follow. 
Results on One 
Noted Farm 
“In the stables of the Hoard’s 
Dairyman herd are installed 42 
cups, one for each cow. The in¬ 
stallation of these cups providing 
the cow with plenty of water 
whenever she wants it night or 
day has resulted in a perceptible 
increase of milk. 
“It reminds us of the remark 
made some years ago by a Wis¬ 
consin dairy farmer to the effect 
that although well water was 
about as free as air, it was the last 
thing properly provided for the 
cow. 
“A visit to the stable, say at 9 
o’clock at night, will discover 
quite often a number of the cows 
taking 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 Edi¬ 
torial, Feb. 1, 1918. 
What James Cups Ac¬ 
complished in 28 Herds 
Twenty - eight dairymen who 
kept milk records reported the 
following results from the use of 
James Drinking Cups: 
One had an increase of from 5 
to 10 lbs. per cow per day; three 
an increase averaging 4 lbs.; 
three had 3 lbs. average increase; 
six, 2 lbs.; three \y 2 lbs.; one, y 
lb.; one reported $8.56 average in¬ 
crease per cow per year; one an 
average increase of $5; one, $10; 
one a 3% increase; one, 8% 
increase; two 10% increase; 
one, 12 y 2 °/ 0 \ one 20%; and one, 
33 1/3%. 
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 time 
and labor. 
Their answers 
ranged from 
minute per cow, 
per day, to 10 
minutes per cow,

average being 10 hours saved per 
cow, each year. 
The Calves Grew Faster 
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 almost unanimously 
said that drinking cups help prevent 
the spread of disease, each cow drink¬ 
ing from her own cup.
