They have introduced their selections of Teas, and are sallig them at. not over Two Cents (.o'2 Cents) per potifid above Cost, never deviating from the ONE PRICE asked.

All persona eats re d this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Horde—Vineleed--lite. marks upon Marl—Soil. its great Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Amtunt of Crops Wonted:o'4-- Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the moat retensiwe fertile trrtae, in an almost level position, and suitable cottehlios fie. pleasant farming that we ;MOW of tittS side of die went ern prairies. We found some of the eldest farms war ent/y just as profitable p roductive when first cleared of forest fifty or a hund red years eye. 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 manly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated -by such plasmas the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its forms, has been used to fertilise crops in England, front the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in France and Het nit.ey a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the tit:a— llow much more valuable then it must be, when found circa* mixed throuyh the soil, where nete ?amides a d 4 be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner's use every ttmehe stirs the earth. Having then satisfied our minds of thecause, they will not be excited with wonder at seeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a soil which in other situa tions, baying the same general characteristics or at least appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. it few words about the quality and value of this lane for cultivation, 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, about three years ago, for the purpose of eatablialting 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 e hicks he built a branch track a mile and a half long. Ile also furnished sixteen miles of 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 soil was valuable fur cultivation. In this he has not been disappointed, as some of his crops prove. For instance. last year, the second time of cropping, 306 InAhels of potatoes on one acre, worth 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres. without manure. produced 356 bushel■ of oats. In one field, the first etoe was potatoes, planted among the roots, and yielded 75 bushels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown, end yield ed 11l bushels; and the stubble turned tinder and sown to buckwheat, which yielded 331 bushels ; anti then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 21 tons per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crop were first. ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime; third, 200 pounds Peruvian gu ano: then 50 bushels of slaked little Ilse been spread upon the clover since it was mowed, and turned is for wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the wheat stub ble of the present season, all indicate his land as productive as any part of the State. At Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman thriller. several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were so particularly struck with the fine appearance of a field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hires man how it was produced. We found that the land had been the year but one before in wheat. sown with clover, and this cut one season, and last spring ploWed once, with one "poor old nag," and planted with 'corn. "Yes, but you reanured high. we supposel" we said interrogativery, and got this reply : "Weal. you sec, we couldn't. a done tnat ; 'causes we hadn't but forty one-horee loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for the track. The truck consisted of beets, carrots. cabbsge, cucumbers, melons, lee.. and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not ~.Ifertile, even unaided by clover, which had fed the coin, becaueetbe "truck patch" had not been in cultivati,.o long eneuglt so obliterate all signs of the forest. Our next visit was to the large farm of Andrew Sharp, five miles north of Millville. from half to a mile east. of the railroad. anti just about in the cen tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work her. in December, ISSB, upon 270 acres. In less than three years. he has got. 234 acres cleared and in crops this season, as well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or pole fence; has built. a two-story dwelling, about 36 by 40 feet, and a smaller house for. farm laborers, and a stable and granary and some other out. buildings. Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow at $9 an acre, and on some of it the first crop was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This crop maybe put in July 4th to 20th, and yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre. harvested in November; when the land 'being sowed with 1511 lbs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The ryefstubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and seeded to wheat, gave 15 or 16 bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were there promi ses more, of' a very plump grain, and the straw is very heavy. We went over the stubble, and found the clover and timothy, from seed sowed last spring, on the wheat without harrowing. looking as well as we ever saw it upon any old cultivated farm, and with a lit tle work done in the winter to clear off some roots and rotten stumps. and setting stakes to mark per manent ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next year with a mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tons per acre, if he will give the overplus if it ccver runs the estimate.
