For bigger crops, break up 
the soil crust with a Planet Jr. 
A baked and crusted soil 
does as much damage to 
your crops as cold or dry 
weather. Cultivate with a 
Planet Jr. to break up the 
soil and keep it from bak¬ 
ing, to give the roots air 
and warmth, to form the 
dust mulch that holds in 
moisture and soaks up the 
rain. 
A Planet Jr. will leave 
your soil in the right con¬ 
dition to encourage crop 
growth. It not only works 
thoroughly, but by its scien¬ 
tific construction, strength 
and lightness, saves time and 
the same operation better than 
No. 9 Planet Jr. Horse Hoe is used all 
over the world. Hoes right up to the plants with¬

jury. Opens and 
closes furrows, 
throws earth to 
or from the crop. 
Cultivates any 
desired depth 
and is adjustable 
for width.

When the Price You Get 
is low, it is more important than ever to have your rate of production high. 
Clean, light, sanitary living-quarters, free from lice, mites and disease germs, 
are just as necessary as proper feeding if you expect your poultry and live¬ 
stock to thrive and produce their best. Thousands of farmers get these very 
profitable, sanitary conditions and also save much of the time, labor, and 
expense it means to first whitewash and then disinfect, by using 
Instead of Whitewash and Disinfectants 
Carbola comes in powder form. Put some in a pail, stir in water and at once you have a 
smooth-flowing paint and a strong disinfectant ready to apply in one operation—no waiting, 
straining or bother. It does not spoil if left standing—once mixed always ready for use. Ap¬ 
ply it with either a brush or spray-pump to wood, brick, stone, cement, or over whitewash. It 
will not clog the sprayer, nor blister, flake or peel off. Gives the surface a smooth, white 
finish, and goes into every crack and crevice, destroying disease germs, mites, etc.—and stays 
there to prevent the growth of others. One gallon (1 lb. of the powder) covers 200 square 
feet. It is neither poisonous nor caustic—harmless to the smallest chick or stock that licks 
a painted surface. 
As a Louse Powder 
for use on poultry, cattle, horses, hogs, etc., the dry powder is most effective. It costs less 
than half the price charged for other brands, so you can use it liberally and make sure of sat¬ 
isfactory results. Separate the hair or feathers and apply the powder directly on the flesh. 
Sprinkle it on the floor, in the nests and in the corners and cracks. Give Carbola a trial— 
you never will regret it. Order today and have it on hand when wanted. 
Your hardware, seed, paint or drug dealer has Carbola or can get it. If not, order 
direct—prompt shipment by parcel post or express. Satisfaction or money back.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Moving Silage 
Can corn silage bo transferred from one 
silo to another without injury? If so. 
which would you advise, moving it in 
warm or cold weather? Would it keep 
till next Winter? What is the value of 
silage with the ears left on compared 
with good stock hay? F-b. 
Vermont. 
After an experience of over 35 years 
with silage. Summer and Winter. I have 
little faith in the proposal of trying to 
transfer it from one silo to another with 
any hopes of its keeping more than a few 
days. The moment that fresh air is al¬ 
lowed to he mixed with the mass it quick¬ 
ly commences a fresh ferment from which 
the air cannot be expelled, and so quickly 
spoils. When an attempt is made to refill 
a silo with once settled and “cured” silage, 
it cannot be made to settle again into a 
solid, airproof, compact mass, again re¬ 
taining sufficient air to work its own de¬ 
struction. My neighbor last March (1020) 
purchased a pit of silage some three miles 
away, and trucked it home, but could use 
it no faster than fed, two days being about 
the limit of its keeping, and this is the 
only way I would consider it possible to 
get the feeding value of transferred silage. 
Whatever a ton of prime hay sells for 
should be the basis of value for 2% tons 
of well-settled silage. J. G. 
Improving Steep Worn Pasture 
Having a farm in Cortland Co., N. Y., 
with a steep hillside pasture. I wish to 
know what to do to it to make it produce 
more pasture. What is the best pasture 
mixture to use here? It has never been 
plowed, and has been in pasture for SO 
vears; everything taken off. nothing put 
back. ‘ c. m. g. 
Cortland Co., N. Y. 
The above inquiry is of importance, as 
it describes literally thousands of pastures 
of the State. Many causes have contrib¬ 
uted to an unprofitable condition. Some 
of those might he too early Spring pas¬ 
turing. too late Fall pasturing, so^ that 
the closely nipped roots go into Winter 
conditions unprotected, and are thus froz¬ 
en out. A third cause might be too many 
animals in the pasture during the grow¬ 
ing season. The practice of dividing the 
pasture into two or three sections, feeding 
on only one at a time, has much to do 
with improving conditions, as constant 
cropping discourages renewal of growth. 
M. I). Butler of Cortland Countv 
Farm Bureau is undertaking considerable 
pasture improvement work. lie says if 
there is a scant start of grass he recom¬ 
mends reseeding in Spring while the frost 
is still in the ground. The mixture of 
seed advised by him and by the State col¬ 
lege is Timothy. 4 lbs., and 2 lbs. each of 
Alsike. Kentucky Blue grass. Canada 
Blue grass, White clover. Orchard grass 
and Bed-top. Keep stock off until this 
gets a start. A top-dressing of manure 
will tend to prevent early feeding on young 
plants. Mr. Butler advises liming with 
liberal applications, especially if the pas¬ 
ture has a northern exposure, or has hum¬ 
mocks covered with growths of moss. This 
can be applied if it is possible to stir up 
the soil, by harrowing, if plowing seems 
impractical. In addition to liming, a top¬ 
dressing of stable manure or a mixture of 
acid prosphate and nitrate of. soda is very 
helpful, especially if there is already a 
stand of grass of weak growth. New. 
luxurious growth is the reward of efforts 
of this sort. Good drainage is always es¬ 
sential to best results. m. g. f. 
Interesting to Goat Breeders 
We have been surprised to find so many 
of our readers interested in the milk goat. 
At one time most people regarded this 
little animal as more or less of a joke. 
She has proved herself a serious propo¬ 
sition. At the big New York poultry 
show there xvas an exhibit of Toggenberg 
goats. One goat had a record of over 
2,100 lbs. of milk in 10 months. There 
will be a congress for the improvement 
of the goat at Roermond, Holland, on 
August 16 and 17 of this year. 
The congress includes three sections: 
Section 1, for economical and social ques¬ 
tions; section 2, for scientific and prac¬ 
tical breeding; section 3. for hygiene. 
These three sections will embrace: 
Section 1—da) The significance of the 
goat from an economical point of. view; 
(b) The significance of goat’s milk, its 
value as food, goat’s milk from a medical 
point of view; (c) Goat-breeding associa¬ 
tions and government measures, as they 
exist, and how they can be improved; 
(d) Goat insurance. 
Section 2—(a) The different ways of 
breeding in the Netherlands, their origin 
and their names; (b) The different reg¬ 
isters: (c) The influence of climate and 
soil; (d) How to examine breeding ani¬ 
mals: (e) The possibility of having goats 
covered in Spring to get more milk in 
Winter. 
Section 3—(a) Feeding of goats; (b) 
Disease® of goats; (d) Goats’ milk and 
its treatment. 
Persons and associations can become 
members of the congress on announce¬ 
ment by letter to Mr. L. Simons, Land- 
houwhuis, Roermond (Netherland ). They 
have to pay a fee of at least five guilders.
