NEvAD. L oTrEEy.-With regard to the
postponenent Of tn" drawing Of the
Nevada State Orphan Asylum Lottery
the facts seem to be very frankly set
forth and are in substance as follows: J.
j. Kelly, the E..stern ascnt. Informs the
management here that at the rate he Is
selling tickets, now, he can, 10 dot.5t
dispose of the whole number remaining
l,y the middle Of December next. Il is
also st forth that II the drawing were to
take place Eow the prizes being regulated
in proportion to the amount Of money
realized from the SAFE Of tickets, would
be propor,ionately small, or, at present
rates, about one fourth Of the value set
up in the original scheme. So that ii
tie prospect of sales is IS good rs Kelly
represents, it is better for all hands,
managers as we'll as ticket holders, that
the postponeineHt should be made-pro-
vided, Of course, that there be no more
delays after the time last fixed for the
drawing shall have come.

STEAMER CHALLENGE. - We are III
formed that Gus Lewis, foreman OF the
Warren Engine Company Of Carson,
coutemplates challenging the various
fire companies in Virginia City, to a
competitive contest between their steam
ers and the Little Giant" Of Carson
Gold Hill Netrs.
We don't know what Gus may cor
template land We couldn't find out his
views relating to the above item last
night because of his absence in Virginia.
but the probability is that the above
item is without any serious foundation.
Doubtless Lewis as well as many ano-
ther fireman would like to try the COM
parative merits of the Little Giant, but
it is rather early to talk about chal-
ienge or contest for the fact of the
matter is that there is yet no COM
pnnv formed to run this machine. and
consequently no officers to take charge
OF any performance like that of a match
with another engine ; and until she is
subjected to some organization and has
been run long enough to enable those
who may have her in charge to learn
her gate and capacities, all talk Of
challenge is Iremature-and Gus Lewis,
40 doubt, would say so, very emplat-
icalIv. himself.

Wintering Old Amin ais.

Generally speaking, there is compare
tive little profit in wintering old animals OF
any kind: and the time has now fully come
when farmers should look over their hocks
and herds and determine the best course
To be adopted respecting the culls and un
derlinSs. Old cows mag be fitted for the
shambles by plentiful feeding with cooked
meal. pumpkins. &c.. and the sooner heavy
feeding is begun the better. Old sheep
had better be pelted, if there is not two
chances against one OF their going through
the winter in good condition. 1t is al
most a dead loss to winter an old sheep
aud take the pelts in the spring, for the
growth Of wool is not on such animals OF
sufficient length To make very large ad-
vance in the price of the pelt. II the older
ones are TO be kept, separate them from
the flock and keep them guarded with
good shelter.
Where it is determined to winter aged
horses and cows. preparations should be
made to give them extra protection aud
care. The greatest cause of old animals
being poor is attributable TO their being
driven back by the stronger, and deprived
OF sufficient food and shelter. On account
of poor teeth they require longer time to
take their food and should be so provided
for that they may have not only plenty to
eat but plenty Of time 10 eat i, in. Where
an Old horse or COW j kept singly. they
81 hut 10
10 share with Others. they run down so
badly in winter that the entire summer is
required tor them to pick up again.
A. managers in stables are usually con-
s.rncted each animal has to look out for it,
self. and the most rapid eater consuming
what there is before it, pulls portion Of
the fodder away from lis neichbor: and
we have seen horned cattle become so art
1ul as 10 eat what il could reach from
either side first. and then take its time TO
consume the quantity before it. 4 little
work in the way of putting in partitions
through the manger will remedy all this
trouble, and give the old and slow eating
animals fair chance. Another thing that
we deem Of some Importance. is the giving
OF Old animals the centre OF the stable;
they having less flesh. need more warmth
and in this position get it. Bedding. sucn
as chaff. sawdust and litter, adds to com
tort and of course flesh Of animals,
A toothle.s old COW may even be fatten-

oat and corn meal, with cut or steamed

is what to do. and after that TO KILL fatten

WASHING LIGHT-CoLoRED CAuCOEs.-
Take tablespoonful Of alum, and dissolve
it in enough lukewarm water to rinse
print dress. Dip the soiled dress into it,
taking care to wet thoroughly every part
Of it, and then wiring it out. Have warm
soapsuds all ready (out only pleasantly
warm to the hand-hot water always fades
calicoes,) and wash out the dress quickly
then rinse it in cold water. Have the
starch ready-sut not too hot, only warm
rinse the dress in it, wiring it out, aud
hang if up to dry. but not in the sun.
Always place your line where the wind
will strike it rather than the sun. When
dry enough to iron, bring in and iron di-
rectly. Prints should never be sprinkled,
but if allowed to become rough dry, they
should be ironed under damp cloth. 1t
is better to wash them some day BY them
selves, when washing and ironing can be
done at once.-l Country Gentleman.

WINTERING VEGETABLEs.-It is one
thing TO raise good crop OF vegetables.
but quite another TO keep them safely
through the winter. 1t is doubtless, the
fact that more vegetables are injured by
heat than by cold, because most people
crowd such things together in large guam
titles, and cover deeply to keep out the
frost. When placed in cellars, the win
dows are closed and in more northern
States, banked up with fresh horse manure
from the stable. OF course il Is necessary
to keep potatoes, turnips, beets, and SINH
lar roofs from freezing; still they would
be OF far better quality If kept as cold as
possible. and not actually frozen. Turnips
and beets, in particular, are very liable to
heat. and become spoiled il large quaint

LATE CHICKENS THE7BEsT LAYERs.-A
correspondent of the Country Gentleman
writes, After repeated experiments dur
ing the past twenty-five years in Matching
chickens. | am fully convinced that fowls
Matched in the month of July make better
layers than those Matched at any season of
the year. Early Matched chicks commence
laying in September, and continue unit
cold January weather, when they discon-
tinue until spring. On tue other hand,
when hatchcd in July or August they be-
gin laying in February and continue until
October. / find July chickens will
average fifty to seventy-five more eggs
yearly than those Matched in March. My
method, therefore. is TO hatch hundred
chicks in August for my own use. As
soon as the cocks can be selected from the
pullets. they are converted into pot pie,
giving the pullets all the room. The pull
lets are then well fed. and are soon large
enough to care for themselves.
