During the 18th century a new way of farming became popular. The farmers continued rotating their three feilds, but started planting turnips on the previous empty field to replenish the soil and feed the animals, allowing for healthier livestock. #funfactfriday . . #funfacts #georgianfashion #charlottewells #poldark #georgian #charlottewellscosplay #marieantoinette #marieantoinettestyle #georgianaduchessofdevonshire #georgianacavendish #theduchess #duchessofdevonshire #hamilton #farming #historyoffarming #farminghistory (at London, United Kingdom)

Calling in the cavalry to solve your pig problems? If your hogs were facing hog cholera in the 19th century, you might be losing millions of dollars per year to the disease. Before the viral nature of hog cholera was understood, purported cure-alls like Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powder promised to treat everything that might ail an animal. "To be used freely," it proclaimed, for everything from "loss of appetite" to "roughness of hair" to "bots and heaves." As colorful as it was, it didn't do the trick. 🐷🐖🐽🥓 The first effective serum treatment was developed in 1906 (this bottle of Scweine-Pest-Serum in our second photo is from around 1910), helping to save the pork industry worldwide. Our third photo: a 1954 serum from Lederle Laboratories. 🐷 Find out more about how scientists made sure we could keep bringing home the bacon on our blog: s.si.edu/healthyhogs (Click the link in our profile.) 💉💊🔬🌡 We're going hog wild with medical history this #AntibodiesWeek.

Today in 1962: Mexican American labor leader César Chávez founds the United Farm Workers. This is his black nylon union jacket. Chavez inspired a nation to seek justice for the poorest of America's laborers. A migrant worker since childhood, he pledged his life to improving the lives of his fellow workers, rather than escape the stark conditions of farm labor. As founder and president of the United Farm Workers, he brought the plight of farm laborers to national consciousness. Through community organizing, strikes, marches, boycotts, and fasts, this small, dedicated union began to win better working conditions for the most downtrodden of American workers. #HispanicHeritageMonth #HHM2017 #AgHistoty #FarmingHistory #CAhistory #CesarChavez #LatinxHistory #ChicanoHistory #AmericanHistory #ManyVoices #FarmWorkers #LaborHistory http://ift.tt/2xS16X2
