sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention to fruits and market garden
ing, have grown rich. The soil is loan,
varying from sandy TO clayey, and surface
| gently undulatng, interSected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertalize tho whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted its natural
fertility.

tracts, in an almost level position, and suit
| able condition for pleasant farming, that we
know of this side OF the Western prairies.-
We found some of the oldest farms apparent
ly Just as profitably productive as when
cleared of forests fifty or hundred 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 calcareous
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 scatter
cd all through the soil, in very Commercial
form, and in the exact condition most easily
assimilated by such plants as the farmer
desires to cultivate. flS2lmSl
