In order to be more successful in
raising chickens the poultrymen should
provide a house which meets certain
requirements. 1t need not be an ex-
pensive structure but it is essential
that the hens have a comfortable
house which is dry, rOomy, and
abundantly supplied with fresh air
and sunlight. It never pays to over
crowd the fowls.

! under the process. In parts of the
| West, when the pasture grasses be-
come brown during the summer, sheep
will turn their attention to the weeds,
which are the only green feed in sight
This fact has been taken advantage of
in killing b1ndweed and the small
: leaVed mllkweed. Goats are even
more Omnivorous than sheep, but the
regions where it is profitable to keep
goats are limited. Hogs are of some
value In weed eradication, because
| they will root for the underground
| parts of many weeds. These animals
have been used to great advantage in
! getting rid of bindweed, or wild morn
| ingglory-
Where it is feasible to confine sheep,
goats or hogs to very restricted areas
for one or more seasons, they will in
! most eases completely kill perennial
weeds. Where it is not practicable
to Craze sufficiently close to entirely
destroy perennials, the grazing still
greatly Weakens the root system of
these plants, making it an easy task
to complete the destruction by cult
vation.
vigorous growths of smother crops
may be depended on to keep down the
top growth of perenniaIs. The most
commonly used smother crops are al
fRlfa, buckwheat, soy beans, millet,
sorghum and bur clover. Some weeds
are more susceptible to this treatment
than others. Bermuda grass may be
eradicated by continuous succession
of smother crops. Alfalfa, where it
succeeds well, is the most effective
smother crop, largely because it COM
bines frequent clipping with the
smOtherfng effect. It may be relied
upon to reduce greatly or even to Grad
icate entirely most perennials except
some Of the grassy weeds. In the case
of smother crops, as with pasturing.
the principal value is to weaken the
root systems of perennials, which IA
cilitates the work of cultivation which
is to follow.
Moving or cutting.-Cutting off re-
peatedly the tops of perennial weeds
with a mower, scythe or other tool
may sometimes be used to advantage.
This is of most use on pastures, road
sides and other uncultivated places. It
has been found that moving twice a
year for two years will eradicate the
fern brake, one of the bad weeds of
pastures in New England and New
York.
smothering With Building Paper and
Other MateriaIs.-Where perennial
weeds occupy very limited areas it is
often practicable to prevent further
spread by covering the infested area
with building paper, taking care to lap
over and weight down the ends so as
to exclude all sunlight. Building pa
per suitable for this use normally may
be obtained at from 1925 to 81 per
thousand square feet, or $97 to SIP
per acre, depending on it's thickness.
Manure, straw and other materials
are also employed for this purpose.

from cupful of tea has been stimu-
lated by this ingredient.
There are hundreds of blends of
teas but those commonly known and
most used are English Breakfast, For
mosa, Oolong, Ceylon, Orange Pekos,
young HysOn and Souchong.
Properly brewed tea is an important
essential Tea should not be infused
too long and should under no circum-
stances be boiled.
Ceyion tea is the tea best liked for
Iced tea and when serving it hot the
tea ball is desirable.
Green tea known by gun powder,
Tyson and various other names, is
much lighter in color, a drink of high
fragrance, but bit more harsh than
black teas. The English know the
value of fresh boiled water for the
fragrant beverage.
In many places certain springs or
wells have water which makes a most
superior tea, the tea makers going
many rods to carry this precious wa
ter to have the right tasting cup of
tea.
Russians, we are apt to think, al
ways require slice of lemon in their
tea while as a fact they serve jam
with their national drink, dropping it
into the tea which is drunk from
tumblers.
In Morocco the leaves of thyme and
verbena are added to the tea to lend
it piQuancy.
The Persian likes his sweetened al
most to a strip. The Burmese add
garlic and other highly favored sesa-
me oil to theirs.
Perhaps in America as in no other
country cream in tea is the tea pan
excellence. We must bear in mind,
however, that tannin in tea will act
upon the delicate stomach lining and
should be infused just long enough to
extract the flavor. Any added sleeping
tends to increase the amount of
tannin.

new INCOME TAX LAW
ENRICHES STATE TREASURY

That Delaware's State Treasury vii
be enriched by nearly 100000 as a resul
of the new income tax law passed
the last regular session Of the Genera
Assembly in 1917. is indicated by the
figures that have already been compiled
at the state Treasurers Office and the
work is not yet completed. The tax re-
turns so far compiled total S33S,S47. 80.
The new income tax law eXempts agri-
cultural occupations from its provisions,
but had farmers been included in the list
Of taxables the total revenue derived by
the state would have easily reached the
half million mark.
There is a great variety in the amounts
due the state from various Delawareans
whose incomes are taxed. Some incomes
barely exceed the $500 exemption, and
will be taxed but a few cents. while
others will reach well up into the thou
sands The average tax paid. however.
will range between SIS and S25.
II the total amount Of revenue derived
by the State this year from the income
tax reaches 100000, the newly created
State Highway Department will receive
$3.50, 1000 to eXpend for good roads in Del
aware When the State income law was
passed by the 1917 Leg stature. a com
panion bill was passed providing how the
revenue from this income tax should be
expended. The largest portion Of the
revenue will be used for the benefit Of
the public schools Of the state, the major
ity of which stand greatly i'm need Of
financial assistance at this time. The law
provides that the sum Of S25O,00O be de-
voted TO the schools. and the remainder
shall go to the Highway Department
In addition TO the income from the in
come tax law, the State Highway Depart
ment Will receive this year all but $50
600 Of the money received by the state
treasurer from the registration of motor
vehicles and the licensing Of operators
thereof. and after this year will receive
all Of the revenue derived from motor
vehicles which viii amount to several
hundred thousand dollars
The state treasurer is now sending out
bills for the income tax due the state
The income tax law provides that all
taxables must be notified OF the amount
they are assessed not later than June 1
OF each year, and the amount due shall
be paid to the state treasurer not later
than June 15 On all income taxes due
and unpaid after June Is five per eentum
will be added and interest at the rate
Of 1 per centum per month for the time
Il remains unpaid
When the government tax on charters
went into effect it was believed that a
large portion Of Deawares revenue on
would fan of and that the
income tax revenue would take its place.
There has been no noticeable falling Off
Of interpretations, however so that the
additional revenue from income tax will
be clear gain.

OPEN ALL SCHOOLS SANE DATE

At the last meeting of the State
Board of Education the matter of hav-
ing a uniform date of opening the
schools throughout the State was con-
sidered. 1t was the opinion of the
State Board OF Education that all
white schools should open on the
second Monday Of September and all
cOlored schools on the first of 0cto-
ber. Under present conditions schools
open on every Monday in the month
Of September and in the opinion of
the State Board this is a great loss
Of time. 1t is impossible to put off
the opening of school in order to wait
for the larger children to come in
without wrOnging the little children
who are losing valuable days when the
weather is fine and who cannot at
tend when the roads grow bad in the
winter time. The State Board seems
10 think that If we set a date for the
opening OF all schools throughout the
State that another step in making our
schools conform to certain rules and
regulations would be established. One
date for all schools to open, with all
holidays fixed, will be of great service
% our school system, and there Is
nothing accomplished In allowing one
school to open on the first Monday in
September, and on account Of a can
ming factory, or some other industry.
10 hold back a school in another sec
tion two or three weeks, when in fact
most Of the children who attend school
DO not come under our factory laws.
