Feeding Corn or Molasses in Dairy Rations
The article compares corn and molasses as carbohydrate rich feeds. Molasses costs less per ton than corn when prices are $25–$40, making it a cheaper feed though slightly lower in value. Dairy cows can receive three to five pounds daily, as overfeeding reduces digestibility, while molasses enhances palatability and coat condition. It is fed by mixing in drinking water or on roughage.

Protection for a Dairy Cow in Cold Weather
Clemton College Bulletin notes dairy cows suffer more from exposure to November rain than from dry cold later. Keep cows sheltered during cold rain, with tight walls and a solid roof to prevent drafts. Stalls should form a long platform with a deep gutter to contain manure and keep cows clean for milk quality.

Foundation for Dairy Herd
It is not always necessary to purchase all mature animals in establishing a herd. Young calves from good dairy cows are a satisfactory foundation for starting a dairy herd, in the opinion of specialists. Ordinarily the method advocated is to graze up common cows with a purebred bull, requiring a number of years of patient selection and breezing, a period sometimes discouraging to an energetic dairyman. Frequently this causes farmers who want results too quickly to rely on chance breeds.
