Early Christian burials and an ancient king portrait found in Meydum
An University of Pennsylvania expedition in Meydum Egypt reports strange early Christian burial practices with bodies in bright garments and sheepskin coverings. They also uncovered a limestone relief portrait of King Seneferu, builder of Meydum’s great pyramid, wearing a cap and ram horns. An English scientist describes a molasses-derived glass substitute that transmits UV rays and can be blown or molded like glass.

Feeding value of grain sheaves and mixed rations
Grain sheaf hay and oat sheaves nearly equal in feeding value to half oats and half oat straw. Oat sheaves alone unsatisfactory for dairy cows. Wheat sheaves slightly more nutritious than oats. Horses tolerate oat or wheat sheaves if not in hard work. Milking cows need extra grain. A mix of barley oats wheat bran and oilmeal proves very satisfactory.
