Known hazards of Acer ginnala: None known Forests at elevations of 100 - 800 metres in China. ![]() Fairly easy from cuttings.Ĭultivation of Amur Maple: Found in many habitats in Korea, especially along streamsides and swampy places. The rooted cuttings must show new growth during the summer before being potted up otherwise they are unlikely to survive the winter. Remove a very thin slice of bark at the base of the cutting, rooting is improved if a rooting hormone is used. The cuttings should have 2 - 3 pairs of leaves, plus one pair of buds at the base. Cuttings of young shoots in June or July. Layering, which takes about 12 months, is successful with most species in this genus. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on until they are 20cm or more tall before planting them out in their permanent positions. If the seed is harvested too soon it will produce very weak plants or no plants at all. The seed can be harvested "green" (when it has fully developed but before it has dried and produced any germination inhibitors) and sown immediately. Pre-soak stored seed for 24 hours and then stratify for 2 - 4 months at 1 - 8☌. The seed is best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame, it usually germinates in the following spring. Propagation of the herb: Seed of garden origin rarely comes true to type. The leaves contain the dyestuff quercetin. Black, blue and brown dyes are obtained from the dried leaves. Other uses of Amur Maple: The leaves are packed around apples, rootcrops etc to help preserve them. Red Maple or Amur Maple Leaf Large, Copper, Leaf, Blank Shape cut outs made of copper for metal working, enameling and jewerly making, sculpture, leat. Habitat of the herb: Found in many habitats in Korea, especially along streamsides and swampy places.

![]() ![]() Within two years the new McCormick Works replaced the old factory. Within days Nettie Fowler McCormick, the young wife of 62-year-old Cyrus, was on the new site, where she ordered the resumption of full production. Put the whole future of the company into question when, on October 9, it destroyed the entire old factory. On January 25, 1871, Cyrus McCormick bought 130 acres on the South Branch of the Chicago River, where he hoped to build a new factory. ![]() As a result, McCormick had shrunk to a regional firm, selling principally in upper Midwest states. McCormick harvesters also technically lagged behind specialized self-rakes used for harvesting small grains. Its products were ill-suited to a shift among many farmers to combined machines that could efficiently harvest both grain and hay, the latter much in demand to feed the livestock in America's burgeoning cities. In 1860, his factory occupied 110,000 square feet of floor space and, with more than 300 workers, employed nearly a fifth of all wage earners in Chicago's agricultural implement sector.ĭuring the next decade employment in the sector grew quickly-the 1870 Census found nearly 4,000 working in agricultural machinery establishments-but the McCormick Company, though still the largest single employer in the Chicago implement industry, had stagnated. But the sharp financial panic of October 1857 destroyed or crippled many of McCormick's competitors. Wright, who made a self-rake reaper developed by Jearum Atkins. census reported 646 people working in the agricultural implement industry in Chicago.Ĭhicago soon attracted other machinery producers, including George Easterly of Heart Prairie, Wisconsin, who built a Chicago factory to produce his grain header, and John S. By 1850, with the McCormick factory in full operation, the U.S. The two immediately began construction of a factory to build the McCormick reaper. Of Chicago), bought three lots on the north bank of the On August 30, 1847, McCormick, in partnership with Charles M. Link to the East about to be in place, offered the best location from which to build his McCormick also recognized that the future of American agriculture lay to the West and that Chicago, with the This approach had worked poorly, often producing inferior machines and always producing inferior financial results. Since developing the first successful reaper in 1831, McCormick had tried selling it through regional licensees who also manufactured the machine. It makes me wonder just how many other inventions and forms of technology were lost during that time, and if they have all been recreated or we are still waiting to reinvent something.In 1847, Cyrus McCormick decided to consolidate manufacture of his reaper in Chicago. I had never read before that the Romans' first mechanical reaper technology had been lost. I admire those farmers who, even today, still reap crops by hand. While mechanical reapers do save a lot of time, they also can have a great margin of error. Who is the inventor: Cryus McCormick or Robert Hall McCormick? October 31, - Robert Hall McCormick came up with the basic idea for it, and then Cyrus, his son, improved on that idea and then patented it. ![]() Plus having mechanical reapers takes jobs away from people who might otherwise be able to make a living. And they are the ones who spring back much more quickly. Which might not sound like it matters much, but if you've got a good proportion of predators to pests in your fields, you don't have to worry so much about the pests. The mechanical harvesters not only waste a lot of grain, they are also very destructive to the ecosystem that gets set up in the fields, while harvesting by hand allows the field dwellers time to get away. So, yeah, I think that the mechanical reaper invention didn't deprive that many people of jobs.įebruary 15, - I do as well. Harvesting requires a high level of fitness and skill as well and it usually happens all at once, so harvesters can't go from farm to farm all year. When they aren't used, more people are needed to harvest, but harvesting is only a few days worth of work per year, particularly on farms without many different kinds of crops (and a wide variety usually means different kinds of harvesters anyway, some of which are still people). They increase the amount of farmland each individual farmer can work, which means that more people are required (in theory) to help with other tasks. Cool article, but who really did it? The father or son? A lot of other inventions have had the same questionsįebruary 16, - I can see that argument working with other forms of mechanization, but I think with a harvester it's much more difficult to tell whether they make it more or less difficult to get a job. With the increased speed of mobilization, there was no time for old-school diplomacy. But technological change had outpaced the way that people thought about international relations. Communication between diplomats and their governments was slow and limited, and there had been a time when that was just fine. The world at this time didn't have really sophisticated diplomatic systems. This leads us to another theory about why the First World War happened. The stumbling pathway to war creates an image of one state after another seemingly helpless or unwilling to stop a conflict they could see coming. That is when their supportive friend Russia, they hoped, would leap to the defense of Serbia, defeat the Habsburg armies, and help the Bosnian Serbs win their independence. The plotters hoped that by killing Franz Ferdinand, they would provoke the Austro-Hungarian Empire to declare war on Serbia. The successful plot to assassinate Franz Ferdinand on 28 June 1914 was part of a bigger plan. Russia was generally supportive of these plots. Serbian nationalists, both in Serbia and Bosnia, plotted throughout the early twentieth century to get the Habsburgs out of Bosnia. But many Serbs still lived in the Habsburg province of Bosnia. The Serbs, one of those ethnic groups, had their own country of Serbia having achieved independence from the Ottoman Empire. It didn't help that Russia and the Habsburg's other rivals were cheering them on in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. First of all, nationalism was pushing many of them to pursue independence. ![]() ![]() Franz Ferdinand's uncle, the emperor, ruled over its many ethnic communities with difficulty. It was a huge, multi-ethnic empire located in the middle of Europe. But in 1914, the Habsburg family had ruled this empire for almost four centuries. It was one of the victims of the First World War, defeated and torn apart by the end of the conflict. You probably have already learned a bit about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. ![]() If unspecified (default), grid search is exhaustive, Number of runs to approximately that fraction of full grid space.Īlternatively, if integer, it denotes the absolute maximum number If max_tries is a floating value between (0, 1], this sets the If method="grid", this results in randomized grid search.

"The shifts to tolerate significantly lower temperatures that we observed were so large that we found it unclear whether natural selection was responsible," Stroud said. The results provide evidence that tropical, cold-blooded creatures-often characterized as unable to withstand rapid changes in climatic conditions-can sometimes endure conditions that exceed their established physiological limits. Only one of the species in the study is native to the area the rest have been introduced to Florida over the past century, researchers noted. On January 21, 2020, the National Weather Service in Miami tweeted: "Falling Iguanas Possible Tonight" Credit: National Weather Service / Miami "We realized after the 2020 cold event that these data were now extremely valuable-we had the opportunity to re-measure the same lizard populations to observe if their physiological limits had changed in other words, could these species now tolerate lower temperatures?" "Prior to this, and for a different study, we had measured the lowest temperatures that six lizard species in south Florida could tolerate," Stroud said. This cold snap provided a unique opportunity to understand how they are affected by extreme climate events.īut when the researchers collected the scaled survivors of that coldest night, they discovered that the lizard community responded in an unexpected way: all of them could tolerate cold temperatures down to about 42 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of their species' previous ability to withstand cold. From previous research, Stroud and his colleagues had learned that different types of lizards in Miami can tolerate different low temperatures, ranging from about 46 to 52 degrees Fahrenheit, before they are stunned by cold. When temperatures go below a critical limit, sleeping lizards lose their grip and fall out of trees. "Today's the day to drop everything, go catch some lizards." While most people reached for an extra blanket or a pair of socks, Stroud-a postdoctoral research associate in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. The previous night was south Florida's coldest in 10 years, at just under 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

And as concern about global food waste increases, I’m heartened to know that almost everything from a food animal is put to good use and doesn’t end up in a landfill. JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme, however, does NOT contain gelatin. The long list above barely scratches the surface but illustrates an often untold part of agriculture’s sustainability success story.Īs a veterinarian, I have a deep respect for all that animals provide – whether that’s food, fuel or feather pillows. A: Yes, the type of gelatin used in JET-PUFFED marshmallows is pork-based. Chicken organs like the liver and kidneys are an excellent source of protein and healthy fats and can be used as ingredients in pet food. Chicken feet salad, anyone? While you won’t find that on my dinner table anytime soon, I’m thankful others enjoy parts of an animal that might otherwise go to waste. Considered a delicacy, chicken feet may be served as a snack, entrée or side dish. Particularly in Asian countries, chicken heads and feet are used to make stock for soups and stews. Keratin in feathers can be used to produce things like diapers, paper, plastics and feather meal – a source of protein for farm animals. Feathers are used in a number of ways, from ornaments and costumes to earrings and fishing flies. If you’ve ever slept on a goose down pillow you know how comfy they are. (You first!)įrom poultry, like chicken, come feathers and down (the layer of soft feathers found under the tough exterior feathers). And snouts? Well, you can eat those, too. On the food front, pig skin is used to make pork rinds. Pig pituitary glands are used to make life-saving insulin. Pigs are a source of nearly 20 drugs and pharmaceuticals including melatonin, cortisone and progesterone. Skin from pigs is used to treat severe burn victims. Hog heart valves are used to replace damaged or diseased human heart valves. You might not think of pigs as medicine, but they play a vital role in our health. ![]() There may even be fatty acids from cattle or other animals added to your toilet paper to make it soft. Inedible beef fat is used in airplane lubricants and hydraulic brake fluid. But there are hundreds of uses for animals raised for food that go beyond your plate, providing important products – including medicines – and avoiding unnecessary waste.ĭid you know cattle by-products are used in adhesives, tires on your vehicles and asphalt on the roads? Cattle organs and glands are used in the production of insulation and antifreeze. When you ponder the purpose of livestock like pigs, cattle and chickens you most likely conjure up images of steak on the grill, bacon on a BLT or buffalo wings. ![]() The gelatin used as a thickening agent in certain marshmallows, puddings and ice creams is made from animal products – the bones, skin and cartilage of pigs and cattle.
