in good favor. too, with the poultry
packers on account OF their table
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 as the Leghorns. and the
larger meat breeds, such as the Brah-
mas. In temperament they are also
intermediate. being less active than
the egg breeds, but more so than the
meat breeds. They are fairly good
foragers. The American-class birds
mature earlier than the meat breeds.
but not so quickly as the egg breeds.
They are settlers and make good
mothers.

widespread favor. different varieties

and crop conditions.
When to Sow Cover Crop.
The time of planting and the best
crop TO use is matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the
north Atlantic coast II 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 a 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 nre used. as well as velvet beans
and COW peas.
Wherever clean cultivation Is prac-
ticed the soil Is likely TO be In shape

lent, It can be narrowed In. In or
chards light narrowing or dlsking
may be employed II the ground is free
from sod. Care must, of course, be
taken not to injure the roots. The
crop is usually plowed under In the
spring. but this is not always done
with orchards. Data collected In all
parts Of the United States shows a
general benefit from this form Of ag'
rlculture.
Cover crops are Of especial value to
small gardeners and truckers. who
often find It both difficult and expen'

add the humus which Is SO necessary
to maintain good physical condition
of the soil. Wherever there Is VA

Of rye. vetch. clover. etc. may bs

tlon OF crops is followed. all parts Of
the garden may be covered with Z

three years.
