be the first discoverer. One of them was 

 looking at a place of fiOO acres, price $4,000 ; 

 he told nic while looking ;it the liuid, that he 

 could sell his place of 120 acres hefore he got 

 home, ihr $131 per acre, $15,720, and he was 

 Bure, if he was a young man, in seven years 

 he could make the place here as good as his 

 own. Only look at that ! He is a man of in- 

 telligence, and owns one of the best famis in 

 Lancaster County, and was attracted here by 

 M. B. i"eadmg to liim a paragi'aph of my let- 



ter. Why, sir, there are inexhaustible marl 

 beds here, that on analyzation contain 97 per 

 cent, pure hme. Fequa hme, Chester Co., 

 Pa., contiiius 20 per cent, magnesia, a very 

 deleterious article in Agiiculture. I have 

 seen the western parts of Pennsylvania and 

 Virginia and the eastern part of Ohio, and have 

 read and heard much of other jiarts, and am 

 free to say, there is none equal to this." 



[American Farmer. 



WHAT THE FARMER WANTS.— Next to good crops, the farmer wants a maiket for 

 them. He will sow, he will reap, he will labor in vain, if at the end of his toil he can find 

 no price, no market, no vent for his produce. " We now realize, beyond a cavil or a doubt," 

 says the Trenton Gazette, " that England and Europe will not afibrd this market. With her 

 ports almost free to whatever we please to send them, with but a moderate duty upon bread 

 stuffs, with wants gi-eatly enlarged by a deficiency in her ovra crops ; yet we find England 

 fairly gorged w^ith oiu' produce, and unable to consume the tenth part of what we have to 

 spare. It is certain, therefore, that we cannot send it there. iSome other outlet must be 

 found for it — some other demand created. Home indu.stry — the diversified and well paid 

 lalior of our own countr)- — the increase of the class of consumers among ourselves — these 

 only can supply the uidispensable encouragement and support to Agriculture."
