YORK TRIBUNK, by the well known ASri-
culturist, Scion Robinson.
All the farmers were of the "well to do"
sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention To fruits and market gar
dening, have grown rich. The sOil Ia
loan, varying from sandy and clayey and
surface gently undulatimg, intersected
with small streams and occasional wet
meadows, I'm which deposits Of peat or
muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize tho
whole upland surface, after IL has been
exhausted of its natura, fertility.
tits 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 Western
prairies. We found some OF the oldest
farms apparently just as profitabIy produc-
tive ~ when first cleared Of forest fifty or
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the
cause Of this continued fertility. The
whole country Is a..marino deposit, and all
through the soil we found evidences OF
calcarcods substances, generally In the
form of indurated calcarcous mari, show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation and this marty
substance Is scattered all through the SOL,
in very comminuted form, and In the
exact condition most easily assimiIated
by such plants as the farmer desires TO
cultivate.
