The following isan extract from descrip-
tiou OF VluclInd, published In the SEw
YORK TRIBUNE, by the we'll known Agri-
Culturist, SCION Robinson.
All the farmers were OF the ''well 10 do"
sort, and some OF them, who have turned
their attention To fruits aud market gar
dening, have gIown rich. The soil 10
loan, varying from sandy and ciaycy, and
surface gently undulAtlng, intersscted
with small streams aud occasional wet
meadows, in which deposits OF peat or
muck are stored, sufficient 10 fertilize the
whole upland surface, after II has been
exhausted OF its natura. fertility.
Its certainly one OF the most extensive
tracts, In an almost level pasitiOn, and sui
table condition for pleasant farming, that
we know OF OH this side OF the Wc.torn
prairies. We found come OF the oldest
farms apparently just as profitably produc-
tive us when first cleared or forest hity or
ahundred years ago.
The geologiSt would soon discover the
cause OF this continued fertility. The
whole country IS marine deposit, ana all
through the soil we found evidences or
caIcare0Is substances, generally In tho
form Of iudurated calcarcous mari, snow
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation; and this marty
substance Is scattered all through the SOL,
I'm Il very comminuted form, AND ia the
exact condition most easily assimilated
by such plants a, the farmer desirss 70
cultivate.
