ing, have grown rich. The soil is loan,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulatmg, intersected with small
streams aud occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored

substances, generally in the form OF indura
ted calcareous mari, showing MANY distinc
forms of ancient shells, OF the tertiary for
nation and this marty substance is sea ter
ed all through the soil, in q very commercial
form, and in the exact condition most easily
assimilated by such plants as the farmer
desires to cultivate. ilS2lmSl
