Editor Of The Journal:

Editor Of he Journal;
SIR Let me thank you as a New Castle
County man, and an humble but an uNBRIBED
citizen of the State of Delaware, for your
timely remarks on the Lottery question in
your paper of Tuesday. The same paper
contained in an adjoining column, evidence
of the fact that our public men can be, and
have been BOUGHT by money, or the promise
Of contemporaries happily unrealized as
yet let it not be said that the voters of
New Castle County who have so long been
cursed with the Lottery business in their
midst, are now willing to give up their long
cherished convictions on the subject, or 70
neglect it and suffer the abomination TO be
renewed in the next Legislature, because
they may be in earnest on the Emancipation
question. The writer of this is an Emanci-
pationist, but not less an
ANT1-LoTTERY MAN.

OLD HORSES.

The term old, as applied to horses, is
generally intended to convey not only the
statement of their age being past marks
IL the mouth, but also the common impress
sion that comparatively they are of little
value, if past eight or nine years. Now,
if we rightly understand it, the horse has
not attained his full growth and perfection
of bodily frame, until he has passed his
seventh year; and until growth is attained
he is Just as united for extreme hard la.
Dor as a man before arriving at full man
hood. In this country, the practice OF
putting horses to work at two and three
years, usually results lin their becoming
broken down by over-driving or over
straining before they have attained firm
ness Of muscle, and capability for endu-
ring labor. Thus it is, that horses are
often, with us, rendered comparatively
valueless before they have in truth arrived
at an age of full powers and endurance.
We have owned a number Of horses, and
whenever we have had one that had not
been injured before arriving at maturity,
we have found him more capable of per-
forming regular labor at from ten to fif-
teen, than those of four to seven years.
in our opinion, therefore, judging from
observation, we consider the horse in his
prime at from nine to thirteen years of age
always remembering that previous to his
having attained his growth, say seven
years, he has not been over-driven,
strained, or otherwise Injured by reason
of high stimulating food or abuse.

PLANTING CABBAGES.

A correspondent of the Ma Lane Er.
press, who highly extols the cabbage for
feeding milch COWS, store cattle, sheep and
swine, and more especially for SPRING
feeding of lambing owes, says that the av-
erage product per acre in England may
be stated at % tons. He gives the fol-
lowing directions for planting them
The cabbage plants freshly drawn from
the nursery-bed, with the extreme end of
the slender fbrous root cut off, are
brought to the field, and immersed in tubs
ofwater, with the roots dowuwards, and
taken from the vessels as the plants are
required for use. Persons provided with
dibbles insert the plants on the top Of the
drills, at the distance of two feet from
each other making hole with the dibbIe
for the insertion of the plant to the depth
it has stood in the nursery-bed, and push
ing with the dibble the sides of the hole
together, in order to give the plant firm
position. 1t must be very carefully OBJ
served not to insert the plant deeper or
more shallow than they stood in the nur-
sery bed, as Transformation of the ex
posed or earthed up skin is the conse-
quencc, and necessary delay in the on
ward progress of the plant. All plants
with large foliage require much moisture
and the dung that is used for cabbage must
be thoroughly moist, and even wet, wheth-
er it be cool or fermented f; the plants i'm
mersed in water, and the insertion in the
ground should be performed in the wettest
weather in which the work is possible to
be done. When any plants are seen to be
dead, the places must be Immediately filed
with fresh plants in order to secure q full
crop all over the field.
