What do mountain men eat?

They ate whatever they could find in the wild. As their knowledge grew, so did their diet. Berries and herbs/plants were a part of their diet. But mammals they could catch were part of their diet. Also although their job mainly kept them in the mountains, they ate buffalo when opportunity arose. (This was not often, as they didn't tend to venture onto the plains preferring the mountains as they were better/ more plentiful trapping areas).


What kind of jobs did people in England have during the 1600s?

In the 1300s, most people were farmers. Other serfs or working people included carters, porters, carpenters' and masons' helpers, fishers, the serf officers of manors, such as reeves, gatekeepers, herdsmen, sailors, miners, people who worked in quarries, servants, and so on. Contrary to the impression you might get from reading history books, there were always middle class people in the Middle Ages; they just were not particularly numerous in the Early Middle Ages. They included independent bakers, butchers, masons, carpenters, chandlers, armorers, metal workers, independent blacksmiths, workers in fine leather, weavers of fine fabrics, tailors of fine clothes, merchants of all sorts of goods, jewelers, independent scribes, and people who made the prepared meals most townspeople ate. Many were soldiers for at least part of their lives. There were many monks and nuns, in addition to the priests who lived in nearly every village. There were nobles and their stewards, and a variety of government officials. There were many other types of jobs.

How is the cottonpicker helpful in saving cotton as an important US Crop?

A cotton picker goes through the rows of cotton picking off the cotton from the opened boles after the plant is killed by the farmer. It can clean the plant of all cotton with several passes through the rows. It usually takes about 3-4 days to clean a field. The cotton that is picked is placed in a special container that can be taken to the cotton gin to be processed and bailed. More cotton can be grown because of the cotton picker and more plants can be picked clean by the machine. Even though, the cotton picker has allowed more cotton to be grown the amount that is grown ( at least in CA) is less. Many planters are taking out cotton and putting in fruit trees as well as other crops.
