Budding's great contribution to nation's lawns
The concept of the lawnmower as an essential piece of lifestyle equipment did not really enter the nation's consciousness until the early 20th century. With the advent of print advertising, it became usual to use women or even children's images as tools to prove a machine's ease of operation, although the likelihood of anybody but one's 'man' actually mowing the lawn at that time was remote. There was another roller placed in between the cutting cylinder and the land roller which was adjustable to alter the height of cut. On cutting, the grass clippings were hurled forward into a tray like box. It was soon realised, however, that an extra handle was needed in front of the machine which could be used to help pull it along. Two of the earliest Budding machines sold went to Regent's Park Zoological Gardens in London and the Oxford Colleges.

Who Made That?
Greenbaum and Rubinstein discuss the history of granola. In 1863, Dr. James Caleb Jackson, a health reformer who believed illness was rooted in the stomach, began experimenting with cold cereal to augment the mineral-spring treatments at his sanitarium in upstate New York. It was not long before Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, a Michigan man with a sanitarium of his own, was also promoting a healthful cold cereal. Kellogg went on to invent the cereal flake, which led to the Kellogg's cereal empire. Today, granola is fully mainstream, with countless flavor iterations and scales of production.
