- 1925 Third District Agricultural School
Milking Squad. A caption in the 1925 Mulerider reads "It
has been the policy of the College to lend boys and girls one or two cows
from the dairy herd, so long as these lasted, and to permit other students
to bring profitable cows and milk them at the dairy barn. Each cow is charged
with the feed she consumes and the profit goes to the boy or girl who milks
her. Most of these boys and girls have been making their board the past
year by so doing. Considerable fortitude and energy are required to enable
a young man or a young lady to go to the dairy barn three times a day and
milk a cow; however, that kind of boy or girl will succeed in educating
himself or herself and will develop into the men and women who prosper
in this world."
