By strip rotation in the plots—
planting corn rows across the slope
and further breaking the slope with
cross strips of close-growing hay
crops to catch and strain out the
soil that starts from the cultivated
strips—the soil loss was cut to one
twenty-fifth, a ton and a half a year
instead of 4.3 tons. The water loss
was only about one-fourth that from
the all-corn plots. When the strips
were plowed in as a part of the rota

restore organic matter and main

Clipping Dairy Cows
Probably the most important fac
tor in keeping cows clean is clipping
the hair short. Manure and other
sources of bacteria naturally cling
to long hair. A clipped cow is ob
viously much more easily and quick
ly cleaned. Clip the long hairs from
the udders, flanks and tail in order
that dirt may not cling to them. One
hair, if it falls into the milk, may
add as many as 30,000 bacteria.
Because much of this dirt is solu
ble and dissolves in the milk, it can
not be strained out.
