AgricultuIist, SOlOn Robinson:
All the farmers were Of the "wcll 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, intersoCted with small
streams and occasional wet meadows i'm
which deposits of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilizo the whole upland sur
face, after il has boon exhausted of its
natural fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensive
fertile tracts, in an almost level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant farm
ing, that we know of this side of the West
ern prairiCs. We found some of the old
est farms apparently just rs proftably
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 indurated calcareOus mari, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation; and this marly
substance is scattered all through the soil,
in very comminuted form, and in tho
exact condition most easily assimmilated
by such plants as the farm ~ desires TO
cultivate. Gn
