Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.Y.
A long term 1907 study at the Ohio station tests corn versus oats for work horses. Six mature Percheron geldings, seven to eight years old, fed mixed clover and Timothy hay, with ear corn and shelled corn comparisons. Early results show ear corn may be preferred for work horses, with corn often cheaper than oats since 1806, and individual horse efficiency varies widely.
An 48 week trial compared horses fed oats versus corn within teams to balance work and age. Weights before and during the test show no clear advantage for either grain, suggesting corn is a valuable work horse feed and may be used when market conditions favor it. The report notes alfalfa and beet sugar beets produced exceptionally fine pork in Colorado.
An 19th century style ad promotes a cough cure mixing glycerine virgin oil of pine and whisky with doses every four hours. A separate dialogue records a diner recounting an unpaid bill incident with a manager, noting a past dining dispute and a friendly exchange.
A Virginia mother recalls a severe infant eczema case from 1906. After two doctors failed, Dr. C gave up, but Dr. B recommended Cuticura. The child received eight cakes of Cuticura Soap and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and recovered fully, now nearly three years old.
