"An old lark? Who had-a nest of young
ones in a field 91 porn, Which was almost
ripe, was noo . little afraid the reapers
would be eel to-work before her lovely
brood were fledged, enoogh to be able to
remove from the place- li
. One morning,. therefore; before she took
her flight to Seek for something to feed
them with, 'my dear little creatures,' said
she, 'be sure that in myjabsence you take
the =strictest notice of every word you
hear,'anede not fail to tell me as soon as
I come home.' - , ,
Sometime after she - as gone, in came
- the owner of the field d his son. ' Well
George,' said he, .'
this c m is ripe enough

and help us ; and tell them we will do as

chirp about her ; begging her, after what
they had heard, to rembve them :as soon
-atrahe could..
'Hush,' - said she, hold your silly
tongues, if the farmer depends. upon. his
- friends and neighbors, ou may take my
word for it that this co will not be reap-•
' ed tomorrow' The ne t morning, there
fore,"she went out again t and left the same
order as before. IN
The owner of the field came soon after,
to wait for those he had gent for ; but - the
. ' sun grew hot,- and not a 'lsingle man came
to help him. 'Why, then,' said he to his
` me son, 'Di tell you what, my boy,' those
friends of ours have forgotten us; you
- must, therefore, run to your uncles and
cousins, and tell them-that I shall expect
to see them to-morrow early , to help unto
reap. •
- Well, this. also the young ones told
their mother, as Bolin as she came home,
and in a sad fright they were. `Never
mind it, children,' said the old one; ' forif
that be all, you may take my word for it
that his brethren and kinsmen will not be

The old lark went - abroad the next day
as usual ; but when the poor farmer saw
that his kinaoaan were as backward as his

REPORT OF SOLOICROBINSOIk 'Nrirmwax.i.isav7,3o.
OP flit NEW-YORK 'TRIBUNE,
• ureic: THE •• .
VINELAND. SErnEMENT.
tar The folloWing is an extract from tire, report of
Solon Robinson, published in the New York Tribune, in'
,reference to Vineland. All persons can read this report
with interest.
Advantages of Farming near Honie—lirineland—Re
, marks upon Idarl—Soil, its great.Feriility—The
Cause of Fertility7Amount of Crops Produced--
Practical Evidence. • •
It is certainly one of the Most extensive fertile tracts.
in an almost level position, land suitable condition for
pleasant farming that we know of this side of the west
ern prairies. We found some of the oldest- farms upon;
retail just as profitably productive as Whin 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 de
posit, and all through the soil we find evidenees of cal
citreous' substances, generally in the form of ludulated
calcareous marl,' showing manyalistinct forms of ancient
shells,of the tertiary formation;famlthis marly substance
is scattered all through the soil; in a very comminuted
forni, and in the exact Condition most easily assimilated'
by sbeirplants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
Marl, m all its forms has been used to fertilize crops in
iEugland,•ferni the time it was occupied by the Romans
'attain France,aud Germany a marl bed is connted on - as
a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted
and spread over the field. How much more valuable.then
itmust be when found alreadyjnixed through the sOil,
IVhere new partieleS will he turned up and exposed, and
transformed to the owner's uselivery time he stirs the
earth.
Ilaving then tali stied our minds with the cause, they
will not be'excited. with wonder at seeing indubitable
evidence of fertility of a soil, which in our situations,
having the same general - characteristics, or at least, ap
pearances, Is entirely unremurerative except as its pre
duetiveness is promoted by,its artificial fertilization.
A few words about the quality and value of thjs land
foreulaYsition, of-which we have some stron‘rsoroof.
Our-first visit was to William D. Wilson, in Frauldhr
township, Gloucester county. whO purchased some eight
miles north of Millvilie, about three years ago; for the
purpose of establishieg a steam:mill, to work up.the tim
ber into limber; to scud cad by the new railroad, as well
as the firewOod-and coal, for 'which he built a track one
Mile and a half. long, lie also furnished sixteen miles of
the road with ges, andhad no doubt made the mill prof
itable, though his main object waste open a farm, holy='
int.; become convinced that the soil Was very valuable for
I.:tatty:Won. in this 'he has not been disappointed,as -
'some of his crops prove. For instance, the second thee
of cropping, 306 bushels of potatoes on one acre, worth
60 Cents a bushel in the field. This year, seven acres,.
without manure, produced 336 bushels, of eats. In-one
fiehl,tla tarot crop Was potatoes.planteM among the roots, -
and yielded 73 bushels. The potatoes were dug, and
wheat sown, and yielded 16 bushels 4 and the stubble
turned under and sown to buckwheat which yielded33s/
bushels ; and then the ground was sown to clover and
timothy, which gave as a tirst crop 2 1 ,4 tons per acre-. '
.The fertilizers applied to these crops tette first; ashes
trent clearings; secoed, 2;r, pounds of superphosphate
of lime ;Ihird, 200 pounds-Peruvian guano; and then 50
bushels of, slaked lime has been' spread upon the clover
since it was mowed, and t urned for'ivhcat. ' •.
Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the wheat stubble of
the present season, all indicate his-laud as productive as
any part ot the State.
At Mary Barrow'r, an old stylr , Jersey woman farmer,
seventh miles south df Mr. Wilson's. we were stip:mice
laity struck with the fine appeafanee of a field of corn,
,that we stopped to inquire of the hired man how it was
produced. We found that the laud had been the year but
-one before in wheat,-sown with clover, and this cut one
season, and last spring plowed once, with one - poor old
nag,". and planted with corn..
;- Yes, but you mattered high, we suppose:." we said
interrogatively, and got his reply; '
Wail, you Sec- we couldn't done that; 'cause we
hadn't but forty-one horse loads alto c N•ether, for 23-acres,
and WC-wanted the most on't for the truck." •
iThetruck consistedof beets, carrots, cabbage, melons,
cucumbers, &c., and a very productive patch of Lima
beans, grown fur marketing: So we were. Satisfied that
the soil was not unfertile, even Unaided by Clover, Which
had fed the corn, becauSe the "truck patch" had-net been
clovered. and - had been in cultivation loag enough to ob
literate all signs Of the 'forest. , -
' Our next visit wasto the large farm of Andrew Sharp.
five miles north of 3liliville, from half to al mile east of
the railroad, and just about in the centre cf, Vineland.—
Mr, Sharp commenced work herein Decerdher,lSsB, on
4 2 . 11) acres. In less than three years he has got 23t acres
cleared and in crops this- season, all 'Well inclosed and
divided interseveral, fields. with cedar rail or p.ole fence:
has built a two-story dwelling, about thirty-six or forty
ilia. and a smaller Millie for farm laborers, and a stabil.,
and granary and some other outbuildings. • .
Considerable part of the land was cleared for the plow
at $9 an acre. and - on sortie of it the first crop was buck
wbeat,limed with-50 bushels in powder per acre. This
crop may be put in from July 9th to :Mth,and yields from
20-to 30 bushels per acre.harvested in NoVenther, when
the land being, sowed with 150 pounds of Petunin guano
and seeded with rye, yieldtad 12 to 15 bushels per acre and
worth of straw. The rye stubble turned, after cutting
otra large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with
guano anitseeded to wheat, gays 15 or 16 bushels. The
crop which he was threshing while we were there prom
ismSmore, of a-very plump grain,' and the straw is very
heavy. •
.We went over the stubble and fOund the clever and
timothy, from seed sewed last spring, on the wheat with-
OM harrowing, looking as well-as we ever saw It upon
any old cultivated farm, and with a little work done in
the winter to clear off some rootsand rotten stumps, and
settingstakes to mark permanent ones, we will be,able
to cut the crop next year wi a mowitig machine and we
will gituatitee two tons per acre, iflm will give the titer
'pins if it overruns the estimate. • •
Part of the land was planted with potatoes for a first
crop, winch yielded 120 bushels per acre. It Wit;
. . -
limed.with fifty,tmshels per acio,and seeded with wlicat
and clover, yielding an average' of over 15 bushels' per,
acre, and the clover nowlooks beautiful. ~
Other portionslhave been. platited with corn as a first
crop, NYlllth yielded 30 bushels of yellow tlint corn, and a'
second crop 40 bushels, and a third 'crop, treated to 150
pounds ofguuld, we are sure no one would estimate less
than 40 bushels per acre.
IThe reader will - recollect • the writer 15 now speaking
of lands perfectly new, and which can scarcely be con..
sidered in good-arablo condition.]
In other cases the corn crop of last year was followed
with oats this season, not yet threshed, but will average
probably 'lO or 50 bushels. Sweet potatoes, beans. mel
ons. and In fact, all vegetables. as well as young peaCti•
and other fruit trees planted this year, show very plainly
that thits•lontr neglected tract of land should remain so no
longer; and there is now a strong, probability that it Will
not; for under Ile auspices of Mr. Landis, it will be cut
into smOlflots; with roads located toaccominodate all—
t he surveyor is now busy at this work—and all purchasers
will be required to build neat, coinfortable house 4- and
either fence thcirlots in uniformity; or agree tolive with
out a fence, which would be preferable, by which means
a good population Will be secured who Will establish'
churches, schools, store=, mills, machine shops, and
homes—hornets Of American farmers. snrrounded - by gar

, If any one, from a derandement of business, desires to
change his pursuits for life, or who is from any -cause
desirous to find a new location and cheap home in the
country, and who'rnay read and believe what we have
truly stated, he will do well to go and sector himself what

This question the reader naturally• asks. It is be
cause
it has been held in large tracts by families not die- ,
posed to sell, and being without railroad facilities they
had few inducements. `The railroad lias just been open
ed through the pronertP this season, for the first time. -
Visitors are shown over the land in a carriage, free of
expense, and afforded Hine and opportunity for thoro'
investigation. Those who come with a view to' settle, ,
should bring money to sectire - their- purchases; as loca
tions are not held upon refusal.
The'safest thing in hard times, where people bars been
thrown out .of employment or business, and poises&
sonic little means or small incomes, is to start them
selves a bomb. They 'can buy a piece of land at a small
price, and earn more. than wages in . improving it, 'end
when it is done eit is a certain independence and. no loss. .
A few acre's in fruit trees will secure a comfortable
living. The land is put down to hard time prices, and, .
all the iinprovtntents can be made' at a cheaper rate °
than most any other time. • -
