then aids decomposition. In no case

There ia q valuable kind OF mud found
IN low situntions, which have evidently
been once the beds Of rivers or ponds.--
Il is a BLUSH color. soft to the touch, aud
intnrmixcd with small shells. A bed of

and the vegetable soil. This earth, whom
first dry, ia perfectly stcrilcb but when
well mixed with the soil Il renders 4 ex-
ceodlngy fertile. II is composed Of the
remains OF plants, fishes and shells, de-
posted in fne sand, which has been COW
cred with dispositions washed over Il, fro-
quenty of three or four feet in thickness.
Such deposits might be found Of almost in
calculable value, IN any place whore the
surface indicates the bed Of n river or
pond, existing In some remote age. This
earth confirms, on an average, four
teen parts Of organic carbonate Of lime,
FIVE Of humua, and forty Of htty clay
This substance Is OF the richest kind of
mari, and exists, undoubtedly, in many
parts Of the country whore Il Is least ex-
peoted. II may beuaed to good advantage
IN composing with stable manure, or any
Kind Of mold. III used without compos-
ting, stable manure SHOULD bb applied TO
the soil, after two or three crops have
been raised II farmers would turn their
attention more 70 these native manures,
which are cheap, and less 10 guano, aud
other foreign feptiiizers, they would find
a broadmargin OF profit In their ledgors.--
