Celebrating Century Farms
The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture recently launched a new, interactive website. Appropriately named “Agriculture’s Lasting Heritage,” the website celebrates the contributions and heritage of century farms across the nation. Michael Pettengill talks with Director of Education Curtis Miller for more information about the project. We have a great overview of century farms. The century farms finder is an interactive map, where all you need to do is click on your state and it takes it directly to the organization or the entity that keeps track of the century farms in your state. The profile section has both written profiles and video profiles which we are actually hoping to add more to. Finally the last section of the website is the American history and agriculture page. It’s actually an interactive timeline, about what’s going on in agriculture, going back to the 1800s to today. Three separate grade specific subject matter-focused activities and lessons go along with this historical timeline. Whenever we develop a resource, we always try to make sure that it meets the national learning standards because we know teachers have to be accountable to those. We develop lessons not necessarily focused on educating about agriculture, but education about what the teacher already needs to be teaching, Math, Social Sciences, Language Arts and History. We just happen to use agriculture as a subject manner. These lesson plans are laid out easy enough for anyone to go in and use in a classroom. We made them thought-provoking, hands on, and fun, so if a volunteer educator or teacher would like to use them it’s a done package ready to go activity.1800 S Timeline - News

The museum runs along a timeline from the late 1800s (the Klan was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1864) through the beginning of the Negro Leagues around 1920, then through their heyday in the 1930s and 1940s until they declined after Jackie Robinson
“There have been people like Harold Camping for years and years and years that, despite what Jesus said, try to predict it,” Pocock said, mentioning specifically the Millerite movement in Vermont that put the end of days in the mid-1800s.
The Sanatorium Files Part One: Timeline - Working Group on New TB ...
What do wolf’s liver, the touch of a king and millipede syrup have in common? These were all early treatments for tuberculosis before the advent of the TB hospitals called sanatoriums and then antibiotics.
You might be surprised to learn that there is still one operating tuberculosis sanatorium in the U.S., in Lantana, Florida, profiled this week in The New York Times . Treating up to 50 patients at a time, for the duration of the extended drug regime required to fight drug-resistant TB, it is a monument to the past, present and future of tuberculosis, as the “plague” that was almost cured continues to kill millions worldwide each year and resistant strains continue to evolve and attack not only in developing countries but here at home as well.
Much has been written about tuberculosis (also called consumption, wasting disease, scrofula, the White Plague, King’s Disease and many other names) and its devastating impact on entire families, generations, countries, and peoples throughout human history. There are a number of lively in-depth narratives of the missteps and breakthroughs in understanding the nature and spread of TB, identifying its cause and easing the suffering of patients. Many accounts focus on the poets, musicians, authors and artists who shared their experiences and shaped popular culture as they lived with and died of tuberculosis, to some degree romanticizing the experience for their peers.
However, because the focus of the Working Group on New TB Drugs is how tuberculosis has been and is treated, we are taking a look at the history of TB through this lens. This post launches a new series on www.NewTBDrugs.org called “The Sanatorium Files,” which will explore how medical practitioners, caregivers, society and governments have fought the ongoing TB epidemic and the impact these treatments had and have on the patients receiving them.
This first post in the series is a timeline showing the evolution of tuberculosis treatments, ranging from the harmless but useless to the painful, bizarre and dangerous, and ultimately leading to the antibiotics used to treat the disease for the last 30-40 years. Later posts will take a closer look at the sanatorium movement as a way to isolate TB patients and provide comfort, hope and whatever treatments were available prior to the discovery of the drugs that could cure the disease.
The sheer scope of these efforts to search for a cure were made possible by the nature of tuberculosis itself. Though it has been called “The White Plague,” it is not really a plague as the term is most commonly used, describing a disease that sweeps through populations killing many people relatively quickly (for example, the bubonic plague was fatal in 2-3 days).
