The following is an extract from de-
/ scription of Nineland, published in the
! New York Tribune, by the well-known
! Agriculturist, 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 gard
ening, have grown rich. The soil is loan,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulating, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows in
| which deposits Of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilize the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted Of its
natural fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensive
fertile tracts, in an almost level position,
and suitable condition ior pleasant farm
! ing, that we know of this side of the West
| ern prairies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently inst as prohtably
productive as when first cleared of forest
fifty or a hundred years ago.
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
calcareous substances, generally in the
form of induTated calcareOus marl show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells
OF the tertiary formation and this marty
substance is scattered all through the soil
in very comminuted form, and in the
exact condition most easily assimmilated
by such plants as the farm n desires to
] cultivate. 6sn
