The following isan extract from descriF-
ton of Viucland, published in the NEw
YORK Tribune, by the well known Agri-
culturist, Scion Robinson.
Ali the farmers were of the "wrll Ia do
sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention To fruits and market gar
dening, have grown rich. The soil Is
loan, varying from sandy and claycy and
surface gently undulating, intcrsectcd
with small streams and occasional wet
meadows, In which deposits of peat or
muck are stored. sufficient to fertiize the
whole upland surface, after il has been
exhausted its natural fertility.
It's certainly one Of the most extensive
tracts, In an almost level POSITION, and sui
table conditions for pleasant farming, that
we know OF OH this side of the Western
praries. We found some OF the oldest
farms apparently just rs proitably produc-
tive rs when first cleared of forest fifty or
ahundred years age.
The geOlogist would soon discover the
cause OF this continued fertility. The
whole country Is a marine deposit, and all
through the soil We found evidences OF
calcareoJs substances, generally in tho
form Of indurated calcareous mari, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation; aud this marty
substance is scattered all through the SOL,
in a very comIninuted form, and In the
exact condition most easily assimilatcd
by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate. ~'s t'.4 1870.
