mber of varielics. Hence we conclude that all lime- 

 nes are not the same limestones, but that they pos- 

 9, in a greater or less degree, qualities fareisn to their 

 lellence for agricultural purposes, and besides they 

 SPSS difiereul degrees of soli.iity, which render 

 in, more or less subject to detrition and mixture with 

 soils. As in our country, all mineral weallh is found 

 he hands of the landholder and cannot be wrested 

 n him withimt his consent to beinw overreached 

 sharpers, who are always ready to practise intrigues 

 the unwary. As all soils derive their qualities Irom 

 mineral substances contained in them, and possess 

 ility in proportion to these qualites, we urge, and in 

 ig It we would cry aloud and spare not, the necessi- 

 I every farmer being a mineralogist, and having a 

 net o( specimens, which by a few years of care he 

 col ect from every quarter of the globe. His facilities, 

 such accumulations, are certainly great living as 

 oes in daily communion with rocks and stones, and 

 ling, as he does, an intercourse with every people 

 tongue under the whole heavens, through which 

 night obtain the noblest specimens and form an 

 jaintance with every clime.
