Army Supplies Not Exports.

BY those who use the export statis-
tics of this country, it is important to
know that the reports of exports dc
not include supplies carried on army
and navy transports for use of our ex-
peditionary forces abroad. However,
supplies carried on vessels other than
those mentioned or sent abroad by the
Red Cross or other agencies are in.

country.

WATER SUPPLY IS IMPORTANT
There Should Be Plenty for Home and
Barn and 1t Should Be as Handy
as Possible.

The water supply is very important.
Not only should there be plenty Of
water for the home and the barn, but
it should be convenient. Why not
put in a system of water pipes and put
water under pressure in the house and
barn? You will find it so satisfactory
that you are likely to wonder how you
managed to get along without water
handy.

PLANT coWPEAs WITH CORN
Nothing to Equal Them for Fattening
or More EconomicaI--ExceiIent
for Horses.

In planting cowpeas with corn they
are used mostly for pasture, especial
~ for hogs. 1t is question if any
thing is equal to them for fattening,
or more economical. When properly
cured for hay there is nothing better
than cowpeas for dairy cows, and they
also make excellent feed for horses.
They are fine for silo, mixed with corn,
but for this the running kinds, having
the most foliage. are preferred.

in fair play. They draw no national
