Practical Evidence.
It is certainly one of the most twensire fertile tracts,
in an almost keel position, and suitable condition fiar

ern prairies. We found some of the oldest

of forest fifty or a hundred years ago.
The geologist. would soon discover the cause of this
continued fertility.. The whole country is a marine
deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences
of calcareous substances. generally in the form of
indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct
forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ;
and this marly substance is scattered all through the
soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact
condition most easily assimilated by such plants as
the farmer desires to cultivate.
Marl, in all its forms, has been used to fertilise
crops in Englund, front the time it was occupied by
the Romans; and in France and GermLny a marl
bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that,
can be dbg - and carted and spread over the field.—
flow much more valuable then it must be, when found
already mired through the soil, where new particles wits
be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the 01C1161' •
use every time he stirs the earth.
Having then satisfied our minds of the cause, they
will, not be, excited with wonder at seeing indubitable
evidence of fertility in a soil which in other situn
tious, having the same general characteristics or at
least appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except.
as its prOductiYeness is promoted by artificial fertil
ization.
A few words about the quality and value of this
lam. for thiliivation,` of which we have some strong
proof. '
Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin
township, Gloucester county, who purchased some
eight miles north of Millville, aboutthree years ago,
for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work
up the timber into lumber, to send off by the new
railroad, as well as the firewood and coal, for which
he built. a branch track a mile and a half long. lie
also furnished sixteen miler cf the road with ties,
and has no doubt Made the mill profitable, though
his main object was to open a farm, having become
convinced that. the coil was valuable for cultivation.
lilt his he has not been disappointed, as some'of hie
crops prove. Fur instance, last year, the second
time of cropping., 306 bushels of potatoes on one
acre, worth 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year
seven acres, without. manure, produced 356 bushels
of oats. In one' field. the first crop was potatoes,
planted uniting the roots. and yielded 74 bushels.—
The potatoes were dug, and wheat. sown, and yield
ed ltl.brtshels ; and the stubble turned under - and
sown to buckwheat., which yielded 83,4, bushels;
and then theground was - sown to clover and timothy,
which' gave as a first drop 2f tons per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were first,
ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds•of -super
phosphate of liMe; third. 200 pounds Peruvian gu
ano; then 50 bushels 'of slaked lime has been spread
upon . the clover since it was mowed, and turned in
for wheat. -
