The Montreal express train, which LETT New
York at four p NJ. yesterday reached here at half

The Influence of Lime.


That in some form or another lime is es-
sential to plants, every one knows. Chemists
tell US that every plant contains more or less
lime and we all know that in many soils
lime makes one of the best of manures But
sometimes it is highly injurious. There are
many soils which do not need manure; yet if
we put more manure on. no injury at any
rate results. Some kinds of weeds will grow
even in manure heap. Often the stronger
the manure the ranker the weeds; but the
action Of lime in superabundauce is a positive
injury. Many must have seen places where
mortar-beds have been made up, and no We
getation would appear for several years after
We are inclined to believe that the exact
way in which lime is taken up by plants is
not yet known 1t is found in plants some
times in considerable quantities, even when
there is not a trace to be found in the SOIL
But as all plants contain lime, there must be
some given out by the decay of the plants
and therefore there, must be some in the soil
by the decay of vegetation alone, whether
there is any trace of it on analysis or not.
But whatever may be the difficulties of the
chemists in investigating this matter, there
are some few facts which have been observed
by practical men which form good guides for
the proper application of it. 1t has been no
tlced, for instance, that wherever an abun-
dance of manure is used, little lime with it
results in an enormous crop. But on light
soils, in which there are little remains of We
getation, lime is positive injury. 1t would
seem that the lime wanted something to feed
Oh; and that after decomposing the already
decaying matter faster than it would natural
ly do, the plant was better able to make use
of this half lime-eaten matter. All this has
reference to light soils. But on heavy clay
soils much good has been found to follow the
use of lime, even when there has been very
little of organic remains in them. It seems
to act in the clay in the same way that it
does Oh light, rich soils, although the exact
process is not known. -
In many parts of agriculture the processes
have been reduced to a science, and one can
work to system almost founded on natural
laws; but in this matter of lime we are yet
unaided by science, and the only safe rule for
any farmer to adopt is to try gradually what
are the effects of lime on his soil, and only to
use it largely after proper experience shall
have taught him how much to use. SIS

Horse Feed.

For horse feed, Indian corn possesses all the
elements Of warmth and nutrition, and is we'll
calculated to supply the wear and tear of the
system of the hardest worked horse, and keep
him in healthy condition, without any as
sistance from oats; but the usual addition Of
hay should be allowed to horses, whatever be
the feed that is in use. BY reference to the
analysis of corn, it will be observed that there
is little loss from woody fiber or other inert
substances. 1t is this principle contained in
corn that is to be modified and corrected as a
feed, and not to be added to by greater con-
centration of nutritive matter or, in other
words, add to the corn materials that do not
contain, or at least but in a small degree, those
powerful constituents that characterize Indian
corn and for this purpose we will recommend
that the corn be in minute division, or ground
into meal, to insure greater diffusion in the
stomach, and less concentration than would
result by feeding it whole, and not mixed with
extraneous matter, as cut hay, or chaff and a
little BRAN The bran is to prevent, or at
least modify, the costive or binding and heat
ing effects of the corn the chaff or cut hay
is to give sufficient bulk to the feed, thereby
keeping the bowels moist and the meal from
contraction. At the same time the horse has
a feed before him of which he can eat his 6ll
without producing cramp or collie, which often
results from feeding corn whole or in meal,
without sufficient mixture or bulk being
given it. 1t is the wantof this knowledge,
together with the extra trouble n cutting hay
aud mixing such feed, that forms the chief
argument of some stablemen against feeding
with corn, and in favor of oats.
A carriage or saddle horse used for shop
ping or afternoon. rides or drives can be kept
in excellent condition with six pounds of corn
meal, three pounds Of cut hay, two quarts of
wheat bran and teaspoonful of salt, mixed
with warm water in winter and cold in sum-
mer, the water to be just enough barely to
moistens the mess and not to make soft feed
or slop to disturb the bowels Of the horse, and
unfit him for exertion. The above named
mess is to be divided into three feeds-for
morning, noon and evening. An addition of
six to eight pounds of hay must also be given
in the rack. These quantities, however, are
merely approximate, for the old horse and
one of harder work will, to keep him in good
condition, require an addition, and young
animals of less work will not require so much.
Draft and hard-woFked horses should be fed
more generously, say fifteen to sixteen pounds
of meal, with six to eight pounds of cut hay,
half peck Of bran, and an extra allowance
Of hay in the rack at night. q
This amount of feed to saddle and carriage
horses is equivalent to about forty Bushels of
corn, about two tons of hay and twenty-five
bushels of bran per year. and for draft horses
one hundred bushels of corn, about two tons
of hay, ninety-one bushels Of bran.-DT Me-

HE READING RAILROAD AND CHEsTEG.-It
having been intimated by some of our contempo-
ras that the negotiations for the old line of the
Baltimore railroad had been suspended, we feel
at liberty To state, from information received
from the highest official authority HAT this an
honheeineni is correct, and that such negotiations
VIII proceed no further at present. The reason
we do not know, but it does not arise from diff,
ference IN the value of the materials, the esti-
males oi the engineers of both companies agreed
within fraction We cannot say whether other
localities are presenting inducements, nor whc,h-
er the subject will be taken up at n future day
but the fact remains indispulablc that ncgoti,-
mons have now ceased, and it shows that the
hei.ling company is not at all anxious for the old
road, nor committed on the question of locality.

a Man KILLED on THE WEST CHESTER Il
PHILA. X. R.-A man named Isaac Bullock. a
resident OF Lima, Del Co, met with IA terrible
death on Saturday night last. Bullock had been
To- Philadelphia and had bought ticket for West
Chester. lie left the city in the 1 L. NJ train,
which train only runs as far rs the Baltimore
Central junction. The conductor took up his
ticket and gave him 4 check for the 9 O'Clock
train to West Chester. AT Glenn Mills, Bullock
was seen to get OIL and il is supposed that after
The cars had started he cndeavored TO Jump on
and missing his hold slipped between the hind
end of the baggage and the front of the first pas
scngcr car. In this manner he was dragged
about quarter of a mile from the station, when
the wheels caught him and the three passenger
cars passed over his body cutting OIL one arm, a
leg, crushing the back part of his head and other
wise mangling his body. He was not noticed to
get on the train at Glenn Mills, but every evi-
dence OF his having been dragged as above des-
cribed was clearly proved by the pieces of his
clothing that were found along the railroad from
the place OF his death to the station. His remains
were found a few minutes after the train had
passed, by labOrer who was walking along the
track They were gathered up and taken TO his
nome In Lima, from where they were buried ON
sunday. Bullock was dissipated man, and was
intoxicated at the time of the sad occurrence.
