sort, and some of them, who have turned theil
attention to fruits and market gardening have
grown rich. The soil is loan, varying from
sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating
intersected with small streams and occasiona
wet meadows in which deposits of peat or mucl
are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole up
| land surface, after it has been exhausted of it
natural fertility.
II is certainly Of the most extensive tracts, ii
an almost Lerel position and suitable condition 10
pleasant farming, that knoac of this side of tn
Weser1 prairies I've found some of the oldest farm
apparently just proitably productive ,ehen ys

The geologist would soon discover the cause @
this continued feltility. The whole country
marine deposit and all through the soil W
found evidences of ealcareous substances, gen
orally in the form of calcareous mari, shown
many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the ter
tiary formation; and this mdrly substance is seal
tered all through the soil in Uery animated form
and in the erdct condition most easily dssiiLatedb
such plants as the farmer desires TO ctltiUdte.
