GARDENING MADE EASY.

Nowadays any one who has patch of ground
for growing vegetables, enjoy all the de-
lights and profits of gardening without the hard
work that made this pursuit drudgery before the
invention of PLANET JR. garden tools. These
famous implements known and used the
world over, worked revolution in the methods
of the farm and truck gardener. Their use has
resulted in an immense saving of time, labor
and money, because with PLANET JR. tools
easily do the work of three to six
men in the old way, and do it better, too. The
PLANET JR. line is made by S. L. Allen &
Co., in good old Philadelphia, famed for its
many substantial and reliable manufacturers
The PLANET JR. covers great variety of
cultivating and seeding TOOLS Plain and Com
bined Seeders, Wheel Hoes, Hand Cultivators
Horse Harrows, Riding Cultivators Zone and
two row, Sugar Beet Cultivators, etc.

Did it ever occur to you that in
canned corn that has been spoiled
there turks death for the chickens If
they eat it? A reader Of The Ranch
writes that he once fed his chickens
a lot of such corn, it being unfit for
use on the table, and in few hours
afterwards found no less than seventy
dead chickens in the yards. He does
not state what was the real cause OF
death as attributed to the corn, and
we would like to have him write up
the case fully.

COW and prevent the spread of the
disease, if followed whenever there is
an aborting COW in the herd:
when a COW shows signs of ap-
preaching abortion or calving, isolate
her. Put her in a roomy box stall,
where she must remain until after the
expulsion of the foetus, or delivery of
a living calf, either of which should
be thoroughly disinfected, and in case
of foetus burn it together with the
enveloping membrance; then, within
twenty-four hours after delivery the
womb and internal genital organs
should be thoroughly washed with
warm one and one-half per cent. solu-
ton of lysol, the same solution being
used to wash the tail, hips, and back
of udder or any other part OF the
body, which may have come in con-
tact with the infected secretions. Re-
move the COW from the stall and give
the stall thorough cleaning up, using
for the purpose warm three per cent.
solution of zenoleum, which is much
cheaper than lysol. Should the COW
retain her afterbirth call you vete-
rinarian to remove it twenty-four
hours after delivery, and then proceed
with the disinfecting as above de-
scribed. If this treatment is followed
out. no COW need abort but once, and
you can permanently eradicate the dis
ease from your herd in one year, when
if allowed to run it's course it will
take from two to seven years or even
longer, only to appear at some future
date, with all it's old-time virulence."
A practical dairyman has found that
a mixture of equal parts by weight
of ground barley, wheat, corn and
bran, will produce a larger yield of
milk and butter fat than the same
weight of any of these feeds alone
When an animal is fed on mixed
grain ration, the highest degree of di-
gestibility is secured but by all means
do not forget to slide little alfalfa
into the manager at the same time.
