Electrical oats shock horses in damp stables
A German study notes horses refuse to eat oats when in iron mangers with damp feed near exposed electrical wiring. Moisture conducts electricity, charging oats and startling horses, who snort and pull away. The finding arose after a tester touched the oats and felt a tingling sensation from the overhead wire.
Various Remedies and Wildlife Notes in One Column
Letters and notes cite Foley's Honey and Tar for cough relief and DeWitt's Little Early Risers for bowel troubles. A report from Sebung Africa notes white rhinoceros sightings between the Suanyati and Zambezi. Venice's dages palace volumes prompt transfer funding. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure praised for digestion.
