The following isan extract from dcscrlp-
ton Of Nimcland, published in the NEW
YORK TRIBUNE, by the well known Agri-
culturist, Scion Robinson.
All the farmers were of the ''wcll to do
sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention 10 fruits and market gar
dening, have gown rich. The soil Is
loan, varying from sandy and claycy aud
surface gently undulating, intersected
with small streams and occasional wet
meadows, in which deposits of peat or
muck are stored, sufficient To fcrtilizc the
whole upland surface, after IL has been
exhausted Of its natura, fertility.
1t is certainly one Of the most extensive
tracts, In an almost level pasition, and sui
table condition for pleasant farming, that
we know of on this side OF the Western
praires. We found some OF the oldest
farms apparently just as profitably produce
tive as when first cleared of forest fifty or
ahundred years ago.
The geolOgist would soon discover the
cause of this continued fertility. The
whole country isa marine deposit, and all
through the soil we found evidences OF
calcareoLs substances, generally In the
form of iHduratcd calcarcous mari, show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation; and this marty
substance il scattered all through the SOL,
in very comminuted form, and In tho
exact condition most easily assimilated
by such plants ~ the farmer desires To
cultivate.
