The House of Representative of the
XLIst Congress is practically organized
already. At the caucus last night Mr..
Blaine secured the unanimous nom
ination for Speaker. Mr. Mcpherson
had SO votes for Clerk, against 26 for
Ephraim r. Eckley and 20 for Samuel
Mckee, and his nomination was
promptly made unanimous. Mr.. Bux-
ton and Mr.. Ordway were likewise
renominated to their old places as
Doorkeeper and Sergeant-at.arms and
the hour for the adjournment came
upon the caucus with King within two
votes of nomination for the Post
mastership, and his competitor hard
behind him. Mr.. Pomeroy of New
York is to signalize his retirement from
the House by the enjoyment for a
single day for the honors of the Speak
ership-Mr. Colfax resigning to give
place to him.

We have not always been able tc
admire the wisdom of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs but then
resolution, passed yesterday, seems to
us to embody very fairly the sentiment
of the country concerning Spain and
Cuba. 1t declares the sympathy of the
United States for the people of Spain
in their efforts co establish their lib
critics, and for the people of Cuba in
their efforts to establish their liberties
and authorizes the President to recog-
nize the independence of Cuba, when
ever in his opinion republican form
of government shall have been estab-
lished. 1t will be hard to find system
of 10 gle that can defend the first Of
these declarations and dispute the

HOW TO FATTEN A POOR HORSE.

Many good horses deyour large guam
tlfi,s OF grain aud hay, and still con-
tinde thin and poor. The food eaten
is Lc: properly assmilated. If the
usual lead has hecn unground grain and
hay, nothing but change will effect
any desirable alteration in the effects
of the animal. In case oat meal cannoG
be Obtained readily, mirgle bushel of
tisXseed with a bnshel of barley, one of
oats. and another bushel ofIndian corn,
and let it be ground into fine NEAL
This will be fair proportion for all his
feed. Or the meal OF barley, oats and
corn, in equal quantities, may first be
procured and one-fourth part of oil
cake mingled with it when the meal is
sprinkled on cut feed. Feed two or
three quarts of ths mixture three times
daily, mingled with peck of cut hay
and straw. If the horse VIII eat that
amount greedily ,slet the quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat
four or six quarts Mt every feeding,
three times a day. So long as the ant-
NAL will eat this allowance, the quanti-
ty may be increased little every day.
But avoid the practice OF allowing
horse to stand at rack Wei fill d with
hay. In order to fatten horse that
has run down in rlesh the groom should
be very particular To feed the animal
no more tuan he will eat up clean and
lick his manger for more.

Is SHELL OR STONE LIME BEST 1

Let us look at the reasons for apply
iug lime. First. 1t is used as direct
food for plants. And for this purpose
al. must agree that the purest lime VIII
be best, Many llme+stones contain
large proportion OF magnesia, which IS
injurious in large quantities; while she'll
lime contains but mere trace, being
much purer than stone lime. Besides
she'll lime contains from two to four
per cent. CT pl7os phate of lime thone
earth.) which must add something to
its value as fertilizer. But this most
important reason for the use OF she'll
lime, is, that it has entered into organ
ic life; which required it to have been
in solution, and this renders 1t more
soluble and assimilable as plant food.-
This is no theory. Natural phosphate
of lime from rock has often been reduc-
ed to powder and applied to the soil as
a fertilizer, but found toebe inert and
useless: while phosphate of lime from
bones is one OF the most valuable ma
flares. Englahd imported phosphate
rock from Estranadura. nontl1y il
would take the place OF bones, but found
it nearly valueless. The French Acad~
emy of Sciences experimental uEoh Tie
solubility OF these natural ptosrba les,
and found them insoluJle in acetic acid
and yalueless when appIed assl,tert,l-
izer. 1t is not disputed at This DAYS by
any experimenter. that a fertilizer de-
rived from organic vegetable or.nlmat
remains is su uperiOi to the same derived
from ITS natural mineral. Then why
should not lime derived from shells be
superior as food tor Giants TO that OBJ
tained from lime rock ?
Second. Lime is used to correct sour
ness in the soil, to decomnose organic
matter, to render heavy soils more fri
able and porous; fer these purposes
eaustic lime from rocE is as powerful as
she'll lime, and these are Tie important
offices that stone lime usually performs.
But in forming chemical combinations,
and rendering vegetable matter in the
soil assinilable as plant food, that lime
is best " which is itself most assimilable
as plant food. | have experimental
with both kinds of lime.-Rudl New
