Three mishnahs on this daf which discuss different laws about Shomrim

A new mishnah: the rights of the worker to eat - but what if the value of the produce he eats is more than his wages? It's a machloket. Plus, fine-tuning the extent of these rights. Plus, a hidden scroll of Oral Law quoting Isi bar Yehudah. Also, when a worker ears while working, is that food on top of his wages or is he permitted to eat from that which is not his? Plus, the workers isn't always entitled to eat, nor does he have to, even when he's allowed.

More on muzzling... Can a court enforce a monetary requirement on one who didn't muzzle when it was needed? What other costs come along with the muzzling or lack thereof, in terms of violating the law (and deserving lashes) vs. incurring costs. Plus, mixing of species in many creative, unexpected ways. Also, 2 mishnayot: the rights of the worker who is not using all of his body to work to be able to eat on the job. Plus, the workers' obligation to return lost items to their employers - in the time that they can then eat the produce from the food on the job.

Trampling grain to remove the outer skin, and other threshing... Plus, the issue of muzzling animals, and how that's complicated by issues of terumah, ma'aser, ma'aser sheni, etc. And where prohibitions kick in. Also, muzzling a non-Jew's animal or having a non-Jew muzzle a Jew's animal (or castrate) - is the non-Jew included in the negative commandment or not?
