All the farmers were of the "wcll TO do

their attention 10 iruito and market gar

surface gently undul.tng, intersected
with small streams and occasional wet
meadows, In which deposits of peat or
muck are stored. sufficient TO fertilizr the
whole upland surface, after 1t has been
exhausted Of its natura, fertility.
II is certainly one of the most extensive
tracts, in al almost level pasitiOn, and sui
table condition for pleasant farming, that
We know OF Oh this side OF the Western
prairics. We found some OF the oldest
farms apparently just as prolitably produc-
tive rs when first cleared OF forest fifty or
ahundred years ago.
The gcologist would soon discover the
cause OF this continued fertility. The
whole country lisa marine deposit, and all
through the soil We found evidences OF
calcareOds substances, generally IN the
form of induratcd ealcarcOus mari, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,

substance Is scattered all through the SOL,

by such plants as the farmer desires 10
cultivate.
