surface gently undulating, ~iDtersected
with small streams and occasional wet
meadows, in which deposits Of peat or
muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize The
whole upland surface, after IL has been
exhausted OF its natura, fertility.

tracts, in an almost level pasition, and sal

prairies. We found some OF the oldest
farms apparently just as probably produe-
tive rs when first cleared Of forest fifty or
abundred years age. ~
The geologist would soon discover the
cause Of this continued fertility. The
whole country is q marine deposit, and all
through the soil we found evidences OF
calcareods substances, generally in the
form Of indnrated calcsreous mari, show
