Watering Can (Early)
     To  obtain  a better Watering Can early in the game, simply water
every  tilled  square  (with  or  without  crops  on  them) until your
character  reaches  Level  2.  Speak to Masami afterwards and she will
give you a Weird Watering Can that can water three squares at a time.

Ranching Foresight
     As  soon as you purchase any animal from the World Ranch, you can
go  to  Jonathan  and  speak  to  him  to obtain the next Robot Animal
Helper.  The animal you purchased does not need to have been delivered
to  the  farm yet. However, Jonathan will assume that you already have
the  animal  in use and will proceed to tell you that he will send the
next  type  of Automatic Animal, unlocking the option to purchase that
type of animal from the World Farm.
