To show that green sand and other marls may be transported over railroads, I propose to quote what has transpired already in New Jersey, thus, there was transported over the Freehold and Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad during 1856, 270,982 bushels of marl, all of which found a market out of the marl district, and some of it out of the State; and as an evidence of the estimation of the marl and the ready sale it finds along the road, it requires only to witness the high cultivation of the lands along the whole route of the road. Monmouth county, and other parts of New Jersey, were as barren, or as much exhausted by cultivation, as any Third Annual Report of the Geol.

This number, one, or one pound multiplied by 20, and then estimated by the value per pound of the substance, gives its value in IOC lbs. of marl; or, if there is 2,16 phosphoric acid, the product is 4,32, which multiplied by 5 cents, the value per pound of phosphoric acicl gives $2.16,0, or two dollars and sixteen cents, the value of this substance in a hundred pounds of marl.
