Inquiries by telephone and letters to the Michigan State College dairy department show strong interest in feeding molasses to cows. Extension Dairyman J. G. Hays notes molasses weighs about 12 pounds per gallon and serves as a carbohydrate similar to corn. Six and a half gallons equal one bushel of ground shelled corn, making a ton of molasses roughly 171 gallons in value.
Hays discusses pricing and usage of molasses for cattle feed. Molasses at about $40 per ton for ton lots and corn at about $55 per ton. Use molasses to supplement grain or roughage, limit to 20 percent of the mix, and feed gradually if self-fed. Molasses improves coat but feeding value is similar to dry forms per pound.
William G. Stump of Michigan State College warns that poor sawing reduces lumber quality and sale value. He notes lumber should be uniform in thickness width and length with square edges and trimming to avoid waste and objections from using unsuitable species for farm or commercial use.

For home use lumber is sawn for material needs, but commercial markets require maximizing high grade yield. He urges buyers to check slab piles and finished lumber and to choose mills skilled in graded industrial sawing.
