Experiment in the feeding of work horses
A long term Ohio station study tests corn versus oats for six mature Percheron geldings used in farm work. Over 48 weeks ear corn fed with mixed hay shows no health detriment and comparable energy to oats, suggesting corn can lower costs where market prices justify it. Results imply individual horse needs and that mixed rations may be more efficient. The study notes ongoing data gathering and potential different outcomes later. Additionally, alfalfa and sugar beets produced high quality Colorado pork.

Wamsley’s Automatic Pastor in a Trusty Show Window
J P Wamsley recounts a failed scheme to replace parish pastors with an automatic, self feeding preacher driven by a wax figure and records. He proposed sociable calls and trading stamps to boost church attendance, but the congregation rejected the plan and kept the traditional pastor, though Wamsley still marketed the idea publicly.
