This note depicts the transportation charges in cents per mile on the Erie and Champlain canals! Quite frankly, I am not sure if it reads [# cents] and [# mile], as depicted by the column titles, or if the number shown is the actual cost. If it's the actual cost, then some of the tolls would be upwards of $5 at the time 😳 which is almost $150 in 2022!💵💵💵 How would you read this article?

Gould's made a very helpful pamphlet in 1904 to help guide people in how to tend to their crops! Using their own pumps, obviously, they explained what type of pump was best for each spray. The booklet was several pages long, but here are a few to look at! 🌿🌱🍅

✨Another fun fact! ✨ Susan B Anthony wrote this speech alongside suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage. Susan B also lead the National Woman Suffrage Association from 1888 until 1900. Sadly, the 19th amendment wasn't passed until 1920, so she (and many other supporters) never got to see it through ☹️
