Seeds which have been grown and

United States Department of Agricul-

Correct labelling Is Of paramount i'm

and year when harvested, and the

bags slip of paper bearing all this

to have tag on the outside of the

British Courtesy Titles.

What is known in Great Britain as
n courtesy title is title of nobility
borne. not of legal right, but by cour-
tesy: thus, the eldest son of n duke,
marquis or earl bears by courtesy one
of the fathers inferior titles: a
younger son of a duke or n marquis
Is called lord, as Lord Robert Cecil;
and younger son Of an earl, honor
able. The daughters of dukes, mar
quises and earls are called ladies. The
sons and daughters of viscounts and
barons are all called honorable. In
Scotland the direct heir to the title
of viscount or baron Is called master,

packers on account of their tnbi"
qualities.
All the American breeds lay brown
shelled eggs. They all have yellow
skins. and shanks free from feathers
which are desirable qualities for table
fowl in this country. In size they are
intermediate between the smaller egg
breeds. such MS the Leghorns. and the
larger meat breeds. such as the Brah-
mas. In temperament they IRE also
intermediate, being less active than
the egg breeds, but more so than the
meat breeds. They are fairly good
foragers. The American-clnss birds
mature earlier than the meat breeds,
but not so quickly as the egg breeds.
They are settlers and make good
mothers.

ADDS TO EFFECT OF MUSIC
Use Of Ingenious Machine Provides
Harmonious Lighting for Orches-
ira and Photograph.

A machine designed to accompany
music with harmonious lighting effects
has been invented by an Eastern art
list, says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The instrument is in the form of a
rheostat consisting of continuous par
allel loops Of resistance wire Of differ
ent lengths, each having a contact
point over which passes metal block,
completing the circuit. The move
ment of the block is controlled by a
cable running over pulleys operated by
means of pedals. AS the sliding block
Ia moved back and forth over the
wires. the degree of light intensity is
varied to suit the music. accentuating
the musical phrasings of the soloist
or orchestra. It may be played either
with or without special written score
sheet. A further adaptation of the
principle of artistic lighting express
sion through resistance coils Is the

and crop conditions.
When to Sow Cover Crop.
The time of planting and the best
crop to use Is a matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the
north Atlantic coast it is considered
best to get these crops in from the
first to the middle of August, while
in the extreme South the planting may
be deferred to early October In the
extreme North hairy vetch is favored
as n legume. cover or green manure
crop but rye is also largely planted
From middle Pennsylvania to the
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results In the extreme
South bur clover, vetch and crimson
clover are used. as well as velvet beans
and COW peas.
Wherever clean cultivation is prac-
ticed the soil is likely to be in shape
for broadcasting the seed, If conven-
lent. It can be narrowed in. In or
chards light narrowing or disling
may be employed if the ground is free
from sod Care must, of course. be
taken not to injure the roots. The
crop is usually plowed under I'm the
spring. but this Is not always done
with orchards. Data collected In all
parts of the United States shows
general benefit from this form Of ag-
riculture.
Cover crops are Of especial value to
small gardeners and truckers. who
often find 1t both difficult and expen-
sive to obtain stable manure. They
add the humus which is so necessary
to maintain n good physical condition
