Kemp, Manager, Hamilton (oue time S. 11 Strctton, Auckland Office, ex-Wai' Jas. Pring, Auckland Office, ex-Taranak : 11. D. Long, Manager, Whangarei, form < Dargaville. Our Field Staff' includes ten practical Sheep, Cattle and Dairy Fanners, hence our clients can obtain the widest. and most expert information on all properties offered. We deal solely in; Land, and as we do not finance or "Bank" purchasers we are not financially interested in any properties we offer. And having Branches and Agents at . every point we knoic every property and its value, and" we select the best propositions offoring for our clients. That is why our old-established business has grown to such large proportions. Wo also adhere rigidly to pre-war values, and ignore absolutely all increments caused by the War. We can quote in > the North Sheep, Cattle, and Dairy country at one-hall' the cost of similar carrying land in tho South. Our Sheep country tubs from .£3 10s. to .£5 per acre, and two-sheep country from i£7 10s. to .£9 per acre. We have just sold an-SOOO-acro sheep run, carrying 5000 sheep, 600 cattle, and 10 horses, fully equipped, within 2J hours of Auckland, at £-1 per acre. 11l tho North Auckland district, where there is plenty of Native and Austrian labour, Southern men are taking up bush blocks and getting their bush knocked down at 28s. per acre. This class of land can be bought from to .£3 per acre, and the cost of clearing, burning, and grassing, with turnips can be recouped put of the first year's grazing. " A still' easier way' of bringing iu Northern land is to buy opon fern land, burn and grass it at a cost of 15s. to 20s. an acre. This is-one to 'one and a half sheep country. We can quote the following propositions:— / 1 A AAA ACRES at £2 155., with JLI/jIiUU only ,£SOO cash down, abutting on a good harbour, with'a long sea frontage to the East Coast. Has a partly drained swamp of 15-1600 acres rich r fattening land when brought in, easily worth now £1 to ißim acre; balance is open fern and scrub country, all of which can be brought in by mere burning and surface sowing. This -would make, ail ideal cattle-breeding station, or a typical sheep station. Is now carrying GOO-SOO head of cattle. There are Freezing Works on same Coast, quite handy. Yards an'd whare only. With the swamp brought in, would be a very valuable property. , I rj fjAA ACRES, also Coast property. XO on a good harbour, half bush " and half open fern conntry, at ,£2. 10s., fully equipped witli good homestead, woolshed, 1 and all other necessary buildings. About 3000 acres in grass, 1000 acres of good swamp, partly drained, . 2-3000 acres ploughable, good cropping land, 18 miles of fencing, now carrying 3000 sheep and 250 head of. cattle (would easily carry another 500 cattle now), only 6 hours from Auckland. Owner will "take ,£SOOO cash, balance 5 years 5 per cent. This property could' be made to carry 20,000 sheep, or would make a fine cattle-breed-ing station. It is beautifully situated on a. picturesque harbour, and close to market town, thi-ee miles away. 'Following- is a different class of property, mostly improved, well grassed, with good buildings, and closely subdivided, has a nice amount of flat, plenty cropping land if required, and is cheap and excellent value:

1977 ACRES AT £6 10s. , . . CARRIES 2000 SHEEP AND 300 CATTLE. RETURNS £1 PER ACRE NET. AND IS THE CHEAPEST LAND IN N.Z. 1 Q t 7 , 7 ACRES, carrying 2000 sli.oep and JLi/ 4 4 300 bullocks, at £& iOs. per 'acre. Cash wanted, ofiloOO, balance' 5 years.. This is a very cheap property, and works out at only £4 per acre, as' it stands, and by the expenditure of another i£l per acre, it 'will carry two sheep all over, say, 4000 sheep. Last winter it. carried 500 big bullocks and 500 grown sheep. This summer, with the new grass coming in it will carry 2000-2500 sheep and 300 cattle.

UNIQUE ISLAND SHEEP STATION. , 4200 ACRES FOR £18,000. CARRYING 3500 SHEEP AND 350 CATTLE. THIS is the iuost unique Island Sheep . Station in the Dominion. .. It..is quite close to Auckland, and handy to mainland. Coastal steamers pass within, two miles of the harbour, and '-will | call in whenever required. Stock can ..be put . into . the Auckland saleyards in seven'hours at a mimimum cost. The Island is "securely and permanently fenced in by the Pacific Ocean." •Half the Island is in grass, and when further • improved it would carry five or six thousand owes, and do'the lambs "best Canterbury." Turnips, rape, and other crops do well. Tho Island is eminently suited also .to stud and training purposes. It pinches in at the centre like an egg glass, and here.'there isr a,beautiful fiat as level as a billiard table, of about 100 acres, in best English grasses, forming a natural racecourse. As a training track it would rank equal to tho best. On the_east and west sides beautiful shelly beacTies bound this course, and north and south rising downs form natural grandstands. Tho scenery of this Island is very similar to that of Kawau, once tho home of Sir Georgo Grey, and celebrated as the gem of tho Hauraki Gulf, which almost enclosed by long projecting peninsulas and a wall of Islands, is acclaimed by travellers the finest yachting waters in the world. The Islands ofthoHauraki Gulf aro unique for their scenery Picturesque headlands clothed with semitropic- btisli; the coastline fringed with the beautiful flowering, Pohutukawa or Christmas Tree, and the beaches white with an embroidery of surf, where tho dark blue oily ocean waters ceaselessly break upon the shores. No pen picture can exaggerate the scenic beauty of tho Islands of the Hauraki Gulf—at morn sitting on a golden sea burnished by a tropic sun; at even touched by the moon's lane shimmering over the silvertopped waters. These aro the environments of tho Island—one of tho gems of tho Hauraki Gulf. It is both a beauty spot, and also, "to como down to earth," a very fine business proposition. It is a good sheep run, and as such is offered or sale, and so valued. IK AAA ACRES FREEHOLD. Land iJjUUy is of volcanic to pumicy nature, with rich loam, practically nil ploughable.
