The following isan extract from descrip-

! culturist, SCION Kobinson.
sAII the farmers were oil tne "eito 90
| sorf and some OF them, who have turned

| dening, have gIown rich. The soil is
loan. Varying from sandy and cIayey and
surface gently unduiatlng, intcrsected
with small streams and occasional wet
meadows, In which deposits OF peat or
muck are stored, sufficient 10 fertilfze the
whole upland surface, after il has been
exhausted OF its DatlUa, fertility.
Tits certainly one OF the most extensive
tracts, in an almost level pasition, and sui
table condition for pleasant farming, that
We know OF Oh this side Of the Western
prairies. We found some OF the oldest
farms apparently just a. proftabiy produc-
tive as when first cleared offorcst fifty or
ahundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the
cause Of this Continued fertility. The
whole country Is marine deposit, and all
through the soil We found evidences OF
! calcareoas substances, generally ia the
form OF indurated calcatcous marl, show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells,
| OF the tertiary formation; and this marty
substance Is scattered all through The sol.
in = very comminuted form, and ia the
/ exact condition most easily assipiilated
'by such plants - the farmer desires u
