HIGHER EDUCATION
ON THE FARM

Joe Wilson, Jr., Bud" is Univer-
sity "degree man. who received his
degree at graduation in 1913. In No
vember of the same Year started in
business with eighteen head of dairy
cows, not pure-bred and commonly
help at first, doing all the milking
himself and from the start made
wages. The first year he did not get
the business thoroughly organized
but started to improve his stock by
eliminating such cows as were not
profitable to handle
At the beginning of the second year
he availed himself of the aid furnished
by the State through the University
extension work. He has eliminated
about one-third of his original stock
and by additions has now about four
teen cows from which he procures the
milk he furnishes his customers.
At the beginning of the current year
Joe procured the blanks which are fur
nished by the University of Nevada,
and are available to every person of
whatever nationality or color, abso-
lutely free of cost, and by means of
this aid from the University is keep
ing an absolutely accurate account
fthe dairy weight of milk produced
and the monthly test for butter-fat.
AT the end of the year he will know
just what each COW costs to maintain
and just what each produces. By
this method he will know whether he
has in his herd cows that are just
meeting expenses-of course not prof
itable-and whether he entertaining

the bane of all dairies-the "boarder'
cow If either exist in his herd he
can turn the source of loss into profit
by fattening and disposing of such for
beef AT this time it can only be de-
termined that this year the herd is
being handled in such manner that is
paying wages" and a profit. Last
year it paid wages without additional
profit other than what may have re-
suited from increase of stock.
Under the system now being follow
ed it can be determined just what is
being accomplished each month by
each COW. May was the best month
so far The highest profit thus re-
corded for that month was 5000 and
the lowest was 5000. With butterfat
at 22H cents.
Joe has proved that he is not afraid
to work The first year doing all the
work, the second doing much if not
most of it.
In connection with his dairy Mr..
Junior JOS Wilson, of whom we are
talking incidentally only, has estab-
lished feature about which we intend
discuss further at future and more
appropriate time, this is the breeding
of pure bred Berkshire hogs.
This is no more a special article
boosting Joe Wilson than it is an adj

one result from Joe's schemes" may
