The following isan extract from 4 dcscrip-
ton of Yincand, published in the NEW
YORK TRIBUNE, by the we'll known Agri-
culturisL, Scion Robinson.
All the farmers were Of the "well to do
sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention Ia fruits and market gar
deuing, have glown rich. The soil In
loan, varying from sandy and cisyey, and
surface gently undulating, intcrsected
with small streams and occasional wet
meadows, in which deposits OF peat or
muck are stored, sufficient to fcrtilize tho
whole upland surface, after 1t has been
exhausted of its natura, fertility.
II is certainly one Of the most extensive
tracts, in an almost level pasition, aud sui
table condition for pleasant farming, that
we know of on this side of the Western
praircs. We found some OF the oldest
farms apparently just as prohtably produc-
tive rs when first cleared OF forest fifty or
ahundred years age.
The geolOgiSt would soon discover tho
cause Of this continued ferdlity. Tho
whole country is a marine deposit, and all
through the soil We found evidences or
calcareods substances, generally in tho
form of indurated calcareous mari, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
Of the tertiary formation; and this marty
substance is scattered all through the SOL,
in a very comminutcd form, and In the
exact condition most easily assimilated
By such pldpts as the farmer dcsires to
cultivate.
