PARTICULARS OF THAMES VALLEY FARM. ■ •: ■••• 1001- 10s. PER ACRE. '

This property is ; situated six miles from th'nving. township' and' railway station, and consists, .of' 1901. ACRES;, Freehold,' and is a pieco : of as. fine country as anyone could .wish to clap eyes on.' The situation is exceedingly pod, lying as it' doos at the foot of tho range; being in this position it gete a far greater rainfall than the rest of the district, and also has the benefit of the perpetual "waeh-ofl" the hills —thus ensuring that tho soil is always being renewed. There is a fine metalled road to the property. This property is known all over New Zenland for iw famous fattening qualities. There is a . vbry small frontage to the main road, but the property widens out like a fan, and there is a private metalled road extending from-the main road to tho house, a distance of one: mile, and this road leads right through tho fattening paddocks—thusmaking it nartio.ularly easy to lay off,dairy farms—giving this road> as an access. .This road is. fenced; for the whole.distance:both sides of. the.road with oiffht wire sheop-proof fencing. 700 Aqros of this ■'property was only felled and grassed last year, and is a perfect picture, .thetOi\bcirigia';.:ma'Rnificent sole of grass. We understand thatioOlb.f of :seed::to;tho.acre was B.onil. on-this:.bush ■■burn, and. w]o never, have eeeh iinyt'iingifiner than the: result-in r all our experience. , Under 200 Acres of bueh still remain 'to be' foiled on the property in various clumps—tho first piece being about 70 Acres. This is all valuable good bush. ' The general lie, of the country is about 700 Acres of rich fattening flats on tho frontago,, and then there is a low range of hills rising gradually off tho flat to an averago height of about 100 ft. Thero are three lagoons, several hundred yards'in length, on these table lands. Thero ie only one corner of the property which could be described as hilly, and that consists of about 120 Acres, all of which, however, is first-class sheep country. Tho formation on tho flats is all a rich gray deposit, and the wholo of this country has been tile drained. On the hills, the formation in a rich chocolate loam, with a sort ot limestone and stone rubble running through it. The sheep have boon on tho plnco for 20 years," and this'fact speaks for'itself. A good portion of this place has been dciried on ,by the late owner, and on 1200 Acres ho was carrying 150 dairy cows, 200 head of store cattle, and 2MO sheep. We think that this will satisfy as-to. the. carrying; capacity, and thero was'ample feed all through tho winter. The ; Stock, w.hich ;are'now;on< the , place, can be:'had .at-valuation.'■■■- '-■:■• -' ■/.".. J ■;: '■'■■' ': BUILDINGS. ■■■ '■ ; v' ■ Tho Buildinge, on this property are exceptionally good. Thero is a really fine modern 10-roomed hous,e, having overy convenience—hot and cold-'Water inside, w.c.'s, and every sanitary convenience that can be Thero is also another 6-roomed house euitablo for working manager, or for anyono milking on shares, and also another G-roomed hou6o very much out of repair,, but whichwould not tako more, than' JBIOO to put in order. These two buildings, would be very useful if shifted on to ot()er portions of the farm in the event of it being out up. Thero is a remarkably fine shed, .qoncrote floor, and exceptionally fino loft, whicli, was originally . built as a ( milking-shed, and contains 44 bails. This shed has the water laid on, both sides, so that by turning a tap they could flush, the whole shed with' a powerful stream ..of water. This, shed has a lean-to etable-for\ "machinery.'and the. whole would pake..'one' of, • the,'.;fincst'. wbolsheds ■ .to bo eeqn,' any "where, , .with ) very .little- . alteration. There-is also another";.large c6\vshed (24 bails), and a with shearing' machines installed, by turbine, there being a fine and permanent flow of water. Tho plantations round the house are excellent and very numerous. There are also large stables, and innumerable poultry yards and houses. There are no noxious weeds on the place that wo are aware of—hot having come across any in tho course of. two or three visits there.

Tho position of this place must always be a great asset to it. The markets are at one's door—the Roldfields on one side of Auckland, and the 'stock sales held at Wailii arc admittedly the most important in tho Waikato; these'yards are only a few miles from tho property. ' It costs 2d. per head to send fat sheep to Auckland, and only a few shillings per head for fat cattle. We have no hesitation in saying that tho man who buys this property has a big thing on, cither, to farm or sell again at a very handsome , profit indeed. PRICE, £9 ,10s, PEE ACEE.
