From he Reese River Reveille.
Representative Willard of Eureka
last week gave notice of concurrent
resolution demonstrating against the
passage of Senator Stewart's last min
ing bill. This move is good one,
and shows that MIR. Willard, who is
a practical, hard-working miner, IA
miliar with the character of the
veins and mineral deposits of east
ern Nevada, is wide awake to the
bad effects which would be sure to
follow the passage of Senator Stew
arts bill. We have already express
ed ourselves on this subject, which
is one of great importance not only
to the miners and prospectors, but
to all classes of business men
throughout the country.


The plea of avoiding litigation,
which is the one set up in favor of
the bill, is very plausible one, but
will not bear examination. Ii that
really was Senator Stewards object,
he could have framed bill to ac-
complish the purpose without plac-
ing the entire mineral wealth of the
State in the hands of a few men.
Small, square locations, with the
corners clearly defined, instead of
the present mode of claiming veins
on their length, would avoid all dis
putes quite as effectually as Senator
Stewards plan, whilst it would leave
a chance to others besides the first
prospectors who might strike n nav
district. The passage of such bill
would greatly check the settlement,
of the vast mineral regions now about
being explored, because experience
has shown, that the extent of paying
ground in each of our mining dis
tricts rarely if ever exceeds the limit.
Of two such locations as Senator
Stewards bill allows. There being
no inducements left for any one after
the first locations were made, the
natural result would be that the
newly discovered country would Ii,
idle in the hands of poor prospect
ors, or would pass into the hands o
rich companies which would care fo
nothing but their own immediate
interests. A few cabins, black
smith shop, store, and perhaps ;
whisky mill would be about the ex
tent Of the settlements likely to TAX
place in districts organized unde
provisions Of Stewards bill. Thi
might do in Mexico but not here.

We take the following from the New
York TribsfHe. twill explain the prin-
ciPles of the Orange Society existing in
this country:


The Orange Society Of the United
States, according to the statements Of the
Grand Master, John J. Bond, has been
a distinct organization for two years. The
Supreme Lodge, as it is called, is in Eng
land. and, under a charter granted by it,
the Society has been established here for
about four years. 1t was thought, how
ever, that the American branch should be
an independent organization, 10 AVOID ac-
cusat'ons Of want of patriotism. The fol-
lowing is the general declaration of prin<
ciples of the Society:


The Loyal OraRge Institution Of the
United States of America is formed by
persons de,irous of supporting to the ut
most Of their power the principles and
prceepts Of the Protestant religion, TO
maintain the laws and Constitution of this
country, afford assistance to the distressed
members of the Order, and otherwise to
promote such laudable and benevolent
| purposes as mag tend to the due ordering
Of religion aud Christian charity, and the
supremacy OF law, order and constitution
al freedom.


Its members associate in honor Of Will
liam Henry, Prince Of Orange, whose
name they bear and whose memory they
revere, tending as did under Divine Pro-
violence, to the overthrow of the most op.
pressive bigotry aud the restoration of
civil and religious freedom, and hope in
the adoption of Lis name TO emulate his
virtues by maintaining religion without
prosecution or trenching upon the rights
of any. They also assemble in the name
and revere the memory of George WASH
ington, believing him to be blessed by
Almighty God in raising as lasting tri-
butte to his memory, the universal freedom,
both civil and religious, of his country to
the end Of time. Likewise do they revere
the memory of Abraham Lincoln, as one
whom the people Of this country should
foverer remember as the great liberator
Of q section Of the human race


The Orange Institution lays no claim to
exclusive Protcstantism or exclusive loyal
atty, but it admits no men or body within
its pale whose creed is not Protestant, and
, whose principles are not loyal Disclaim-
ing an intoerant spirit, the institution ne--
mands, as an indispensable qualification,
viii It which the greatest and wealthiest
man may seek admission in vain.


THAT the candidate shall be believed
to be incapable of prosecuting or linjuring
any person on account Of his religious
opinions duty of every Orangemen
being to aid and defend all loyal citizens
of every religious persuasion in their en-
joyment Of their constitutional rights.
The whole institution is one neighbor-
hood within which every Orangeman is
at home in the furthest part Of the world,
; and such is the mechanism of the institu-
tion that while its operations are thus ex-
: tended its every movement is alike felt
9 and answered in every part


In short, the Orange institution, like a
glorious morning lumiaary, is intended to
, pour its refulgencc on the lobe, but simu-
ltaneously on every portion, equally en-
e lighting the whole periphery.

FEEDING HORSES TOO MUcH. - Of all
our domestic animals there are none re-
quirlng more systematic care in feeding
than the horse A horse should be fed
regularly an moderate amount, and when
worked he should be worked judiciously.
A horse fed in this way may be fed at a
moderate cost, and will be more healthy
and perform more labor than if fed high
ly, or as many we know of are in the hab-
it of feeding their horses. Horses will
eat hay enough to injure them if they can
get it, When hay is kept constantly be-
fore them, horses are apt to spend time in
throwing it around topsy-turvy in the
rack; they soon become dissatisfied with
their food, and losse their usual keen rel
ISL for it, The general practice should be
to feed regularly three times day.

MILK.


First, you must have good, healthy
young COWS. They require good food and
uniform feeding. They should be saltcd
twice a week, and have fresh running wa
ter daily. Second, the COW must be milk
ed as thoroughly and as rapidly as strength
will permit then, after standing or 10
minutes, she must be stripped, so that she
will be left dry for pint Of strippings
will make far more butter than a gallon
of the first drawn milk. The milk should
be strained Immediately. My experience
is, that large two-gallon stone crock is
best for setting, and should remain stand
ing for As hours in moderate temperature
(about GO : before skimming


CREAM.


Churn every other morning in cool
weather, but, when warm, churning
should be done every morning, aud the
cream kept in as cool place as possible /;
also, put a large lump of ice in the cream
over night, which will have no effect on
the butter but if the Ice were put in the
butter, it would spoil it. The milk should
be skinned every "a or 36 hours. place
the crock of milk in water from eight tC
ten inches deep, when the cream rises il
the abOve-stated time ga to 36 hours,
and the milk seldom gets sour.


WASHING AND CLEANSING THE UTENSILS.


The only method l known of, that viii
thoroughly cleanse milking vessels, is, tc
add TO ten gallons Of water half gallor
of clean, strong wood-ashes, and let i
come 10 a boil ; wash the stone crooks il
warm water, ther run them around in thu
boiling lye, and wash in warm water. Thi,
process will do for the buckets, ladies, the
churn, etc. No other mode will purif,
the rancidness that will accumulate in
dairy. After washing and rinsing tn,
crooks, expose them to the air and sun
they will be as sweet as when brough
from the store. Once a month will b,
sufficient for this cleansing. All gooc
dairy-women know that the utensil
should be washed in boiling water afte

GREEN Colon In PIcKLEs-It is said
that to impart an excellent green color to
to pickles they must be first covered with
boiling hot saltwater, and after short
time the water poured off and the pickles
drained. They are then placed in an ear
then pot and covered with boiling vinegar
the top put on, and the whole kept at a
.lukewarn temperature for long time,
the vinegar being poured of every day,
heated to boiling and turn again upon
the pickles. This is to be continued un-
til tie color is a beautiful green. The
vinegar used in this process is then to be
poured off and replaced by fresh, and tho
jar closed tightly. This method of color
ing is perfectly harmless, although the re-
suit is as bright green jas that of verdi

10 II pounds Of butter use pound and
half of salt, well worked in. and put in
a cool place until the next morning then
work again, working out the brine which
will accumulate. which is almost equiva
lent to the amount of salt put IN. If the
butter is made for packing purposes, work
it the third morning, and make into rolls
of convenient size.

My plan is to never let the cream stand
over forty-eight hours after it is SKINNED,
and [ find no difficulty in churning In
mid-wlnter, proceed as follows: Stand
the cream near the fire, where it will be-
come quite warm; then let it cool rapid
ly; add more cream the next skimming,
and so on until the fourth skimming. Let
it stand all night, and in the morning
scald out the churn before using. In case
the cream is too cold add little boiling
water When the churning is finished
the butter should be drained and well
worked and op no account should the
butter be washed, and for this reason if
you wash butter, it will get strong in half
the time it would by extracting the milk
without washing it must be worked out,
or the butter will soon become rancid.

A gentleman who favors US with

my grandfather resided at Gofistown
and Derryfeld, then settled by the
Irish, he hired a wild sort of an Irish
man to work on his farm. One day
soon after his. arrival, he told him to
take bride and go out in the field and
catch the black colt. Don't come with
out him." said the old gentleman.
Patrick started and was gone some
time, but at last returned without a
bride, with his face and hand badly
scratched, as though he had received
bad treatment. "Why, Patrick, what
is the matter? What in the world ails
you? ?" SAM faith, isn't it me, your
honor, that never will catch the old
black colt again? Bad luck to him
And didn't he all but scratch the eyes
out of my head? An faith as true as
my shoulders my own, / had to climb
up the tree otter him ~ Nonsense
Where is the beast ?" "An' it's tied to
the tree he is 10 be sure, yer honor"
We all followed Patrick to the spot to
get solution of the difficulty, and on
reaching the field we found, to our
amazement, that he had succeeded in
catching bear after great deal oi
rough usage on both sides, and actually
tied it with bride to an old tree

ever shady the tree may be, or howev-
er easy the chairs. Some one may
fancy you are common lounger there,

Don't go to liquor saloon to geta glass
of lemonade, however refreshing it
would seem to you. Rather buy your
lemons and prepare the cooling bever-
age at your home, where others may
share it with you, probably, too, at no
greater expense than your single glass
